• Driving profitable revenue growth
• Improving sales processes and accountability
• Strengthening collaboration between Sales, Marketing, Operations and Pricing

Memphis, TN

This is a M-F onsite leadership role based at our office in Memphis, Tennessee. Cornerstone believes strong leadership is built through real-time problem solving, coaching moments that happen organically, and partnership across teams. Because of the highly collaborative nature of this position and the importance of building relationships across the organization, remote and hybrid work arrangements are not available for leadership roles.

Since 1997, Cornerstone has operated with a simple purpose: "To Provide A Better Place For People To Work."

Cornerstone believes high performance and healthy culture can exist together.

We transitioned to employee ownership because we believe ownership changes how people think. It creates accountability. Pride. Long-term commitment. Many employees have spent years building their careers here because the company believes long-term relationships—internally and externally—still matter.

Integrity, honesty, respect, loyalty, and continuous improvement are not slogans here, they are expectations.

You'll join a team that believes doing right by the customer matters more than checking boxes. A team that believes responsiveness, service, and relationships still win. A place where people genuinely care about helping customers solve hard problems and helping one another succeed along the way.

If building people, strengthening systems, and helping shape what Cornerstone becomes next excites you, we hope we meet soon!

What We Offer →

• Competitive Compensation
• Performance Bonus Opportunity
• Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
• Comprehensive Benefits
• 401(k) w/ Match
• PTO
• Professional Development
  
  
  

NEXT STEPS →

First, you’ll meet with our recruiter, Amber Barron.

If there’s a strong mutual fit following that conversation, you’ll complete our sales-specific questionnaire to help both sides evaluate compatibility with the role and sales environment.

If alignment continues, you’ll move forward through additional conversations with our leadership team before reaching the final offer stage.
