Team Leader
Former Athlete? Competitor? Future Owner?
Get Paid to Compete Again.
Team Leader | Junk King
Path to Ownership Opportunity
You didn’t train for years just to end up sitting behind a desk, watching the clock, and wondering where the competition went.
You know what it means to show up early, push through fatigue, lead under pressure, hold teammates accountable, and find a way to win.
Now bring that same mindset to a business where effort, leadership, toughness, and performance actually pay off.
At Junk King, we’re building a team of former athletes, competitors, and high-output leaders who want more than a paycheck. This is a fast-paced, physical, customer-facing leadership role with a real path to growth — and for the right person, a path to ownership.
This is not just a “junk removal job.”
This is operations. Sales. Leadership. Customer service. Logistics. Problem-solving. Team execution. Revenue generation.
Every day is different. Every job has a scoreboard. Every customer experience matters. Every team member has the opportunity to separate themselves.
If you miss being part of a team, competing for results, and being held to a high standard, this may be the opportunity you’ve been looking for.
Why Former Athletes and Competitors Thrive Here
You’ll Compete Again
You’ll be measured on performance, customer experience, reviews, efficiency, teamwork, and results. High performers earn more, grow faster, and get more responsibility.
You’ll Stay Active
This is not a desk job. You’ll move, lift, drive, lead, hustle, and stay physically engaged throughout the day.
You’ll Lead a Team
You’ll work side by side with people who value effort, accountability, communication, and toughness. The best team members don’t just do the job — they elevate the people around them.
You’ll Learn How Business Really Works
We’ll train you in the skills that matter if you want to grow:
Leadership
Customer communication
Sales and negotiation
Logistics and operations
Truck management
Team accountability
Problem-solving under pressure
Revenue and performance tracking
The same traits that made you successful in sports can help you move fast here: discipline, coachability, resilience, competitiveness, and leadership.
You’ll Have a Path Forward
We are looking for people who want responsibility, not comfort.
If you prove you can lead people, create great customer experiences, drive results, and operate with ownership, there is a path to bigger opportunities inside the business.
For the right person, that can include a path to ownership.
What You’ll Do
As a Junk King Team Leader, you’ll:
Drive a company truck to residential and commercial job sites
Lead your team through daily jobs
Remove furniture, appliances, construction debris, equipment, and more
Communicate directly with customers
Provide estimates and collect payment
Solve problems in real time
Create a five-star customer experience
Compete to improve team performance every day
No two days are the same.
One day you may be clearing out an estate. The next day you may be helping a business remove equipment, supporting a contractor, or handling a time-sensitive cleanout.
Every job requires teamwork, hustle, communication, and the ability to perform under pressure.
You’ll Be a Strong Fit If You Are…
A former college athlete, high-level high school athlete, competitor, or natural team leader
Physically capable and willing to work hard
Comfortable being coached and held accountable
Competitive, dependable, and mentally tough
A strong communicator with customers and teammates

Able to lift 75 lbs independently

You solve problems instead of making excuses
You compete to improve every day
You treat the business like it matters — because it does
