Position: Founder, Liquidation Desk @Cash Margin Partners

The Situation

Independent retell is bleeding out. There are 500,000 owner-operated boutiques in the United States each sitting on an $hundreds of thousands of dead inventories. The P&L says profitable. The bank account says zero free cash flow. The back room is full of merchandise that stopped selling six months ago and nobody has the time, or the network to move it. That is where you come in.

Cash Margin Partners is a tech-enabled liquidity firm. We run a proprietary diagnostic engine that identifies exactly which inventory is dead and what it is worth. Then we broker the sale of that inventory to bulk buyers, discount retailers, and liquidators - and we wire the boutique owner the cash. We are building the Liquidity Desk from scratch. You are Hire #1for this product.

The

Reality

This is not a role for someone who needs a warm lead, a polished deck, or a manager to hold their hand through a negotiation. This is a role for someone who wakes up thinking about the deal they are going to close today. You will sit on the trading floor next to the CEO (virtually). No corporate structure between you and the decision-maker.

No approval chains. No babysitting. You will have a phone, a manifest of premium dead-stock apparel, and a list of buyers who need inventory at the right price. Your job is to connect those two things faster and smarter than anyone else in the room. If you close, you eat. If you do not close, you figure out why and you close tomorrow.

What

You Will Do

Build the buyer network. Before a single pallet moves, you need buyers. Your first 30 days are spent cold-calling discount retailers, off-price chains, bulk buyers, liquidation operators, and secondary market buyers across the country.

You are not pitching a product. You are building relationships with people who buy inventory for a living.

By day 30 you have 20 confirmed buyers who will take your call and look at a manifest.

Broker the deal. When a boutique engagement is underwritten and the Inventory is ready to move, you take the manifest and you sell it. You negotiate price per unit in real time. You understand the cost basis, the recovery target, and the margin CMP needs to make the deal work.

You do not leave money on the table and you do not let a deal die over $200.

Protect the spread. Every deal has a number. The boutique owner needs to see a check that justifies giving CMP 20% of the recovery. The buyer needs to feel like they got a deal. Your job is to find the price that makes both of those things true simultaneously.

Close on the wire. A deal is not closed when someone says yes. A deal is closed when the wire hits. You follow every transaction from verbal commitment to payment received. You handle the friction, the last-minute renegotiations, and the buyers who go quiet on a Thursday afternoon.

You do not release the Inventory until you have confirmation of funds.

Report the market. You are CMP's intelligence on the buyer side. What categories are moving? What is the market paying for premium denim versus footwear versus home goods? What buyers are actively looking and what are they passing on? You bring that Intelligence back to the underwriting team so CMP prices deals correctly from the start.

Who You Are

You have one to 3-5 years in a high-velocity, transactional environment. Freight brokerage. Third-party logistics. Inside sales at a company where the scoreboard was updated dally and everyone knew exactly where they stood. Bonus: you are a former D1 or D2 college athlete who has never learned to accept losing and has been waiting for a role that matches your competitive drive.

If that is you, we want to talk.

In every case you are:

Relentless
. You have been told no more times than you can count and it has never once made you consider a different career. You treat rejection as data, not defeat.
Decisive
. When a buyer pushes back on price at 4:45 PM on a Friday, you do not say you need to check with your manager. You know your floor, you know your ceiling, and you make the call.
Hungry
. You are not here for the title or the office. You are here because you want to build something from nothing and you want to be compensated in direct…
