About Kanbrick
Kanbrick is a purpose‑driven, long‑term investment partnership built to empower people and organizations to reach their full potential. We partner with family and founder owned businesses that have strong moats and untapped potential, helping them grow through a hands‑on focus on people, culture, and operating systems. We think in decades, not quarters – and as seasoned operators and true partners, we roll up our sleeves to build enduring companies, brick by brick.
Role Overview
The Kanbrick Community is the home for long-term business builders. With more than 3,000 members, the Kanbrick Community provides a trusted peer network, best in class playbooks and tools focused on scaling and building midsize companies, and hands-on learning experiences – all designed to help leaders scale themselves and build enduring businesses.
At Kanbrick, relationships are more important than transactions, and long-term partnerships are built over years. In this role, you will help expand our community of values-aligned business builders – founders, CEOs, and owners – building trust, creating opportunities for shared learning, and staying meaningfully connected over time.
Your work will center on engaging authentically with CEOs and owners who would benefit from our Community offering and may one day become Kanbrick partners. You’ll work closely across Kanbrick, using our platform to establish & build relationships, share ideas, and add value, whether or not a business opportunity ever enters the conversation.
This role is ideal for a growing leader who thrives on curiosity, enjoys meeting remarkable people, and believes that trust is the best foundation for any future partnership.
Key Responsibilities
Connect with Values-Aligned Builders
Identify business owners and leaders who share our values and long-term orientation. Use direct outreach, events, referrals, and community-based activities for introductions, initiating thoughtful conversations and exploring avenues for Kanbrick to add value.
Build Trusted Relationships
Helping others is core to our purpose. Listen to founders’ stories, understanding their goals and challenges, both personally and professionally. Identify opportunities to help founders and CEOs be more successful and help Kanbrick become a trusted resource over time. This can include sharing content, making introductions, or sharing our community programming, such as Business Builders, Build with Kanbrick, and the CEO Circle.
Collaborate Across the Kanbrick Team
Work with our Investing, Community, and Kanbrick Business System (Value Creation) teams to deepen alignment and bring prospective partners into the Kanbrick ecosystem early. Help them experience what it’s like to work with us – exploring how we partner with builders before any formal process begins.
Tell the Kanbrick Story with Clarity and Heart
You will be an ambassador for Kanbrick. Share who we are, how we operate, and how we partner with companies for the long-term. Use real examples to reflect our values and differentiate Kanbrick from traditional investment models.
Build a Scalable System to Track Insights
Maintain a defined system to manage relationships, track notes and follow ups, and build compelling and engaging messaging that resonates with CEOs and owners and allows us to engage with owners at the right moments with the right messaging and insights.
Why This Role Is Different
The Manager will help shape the future of how we discover, empower, and engage with future Kanbrick Community members and prospective partners. You’ll be a central part of growing a thoughtful, values-driven community that supports business builders across the country – building alongside a small, collaborative, and mission-driven team.
