Location: Virginia Beach
Red Orange North America is a growing government contractor supporting federal agencies and commercial
customers with logistics, facility management, procurement, and operational solutions.
We are looking for a Partner Development & Sourcing Assistant who enjoys researching companies, connecting
with people, staying organized, and helping turn customer needs into business opportunities.
If you are curious, dependable, and eager to build experience in partner development, sourcing, or business support,
we would like to meet you.
The Opportunity
Our ability to win and deliver business depends on the strength of our partner network. You will help grow and
maintain that network by researching suppliers, manufacturers, subcontractors, and service providers who expand
what Red Orange can offer.
This is a hands-on support role combining relationship building with research, coordination, and consistent
follow-through. You will learn how capable partners and competitive sourcing support business growth.
You will work closely with our sales, business development, operations, and contract teams to gather information,
organize quotations, and keep partner activities moving.
Success means accurate information, timely follow-up, and dependable support for competitive proposals and
reliable delivery.
What You Will Do
Find and Connect With Partners
• Research suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, subcontractors, and service providers in the United States and
internationally.
• Support outreach by email and phone, introduce Red Orange, and coordinate follow-up conversations.
• Gather information about partner capabilities, geographic coverage, availability, capacity, and interest in working
with Red Orange.
• Keep prospective partner records current and help track next steps from initial contact to an active working
relationship.

Support Our Capabilities and Delivery Capacity
• Help internal teams research the partners and resources needed to pursue customer opportunities.
• Organize partner information that expands our service offerings, product access, geographic reach, and ability to
deliver.
• Research alternative sources and backup options for challenging or time-sensitive requirements.
• Follow up with partners to confirm changes in their capabilities, capacity, and availability.
• Collect capability statements, product information, and other documents needed for team review.
Support Sourcing and Business Opportunities
• Help match customer requirements with potential partners, products, and services.
• Request quotations and follow up on pricing, specifications, availability, delivery schedules, and required
documentation.
• Prepare clear quotation comparisons and flag missing information or differences for review.
• Support pricing and proposal preparation by organizing accurate supplier information and partner responses.
• Assist with discussions about pricing and terms under the guidance of the team; document agreed details for
review.
• Coordinate information and handoffs between partners and internal teams as opportunities move toward delivery.
Keep Activities Moving
• Track partner conversations, quotation requests, action items, and deadlines.
• Maintain accurate records of contacts, capabilities, pricing, coverage, and correspondence in shared tools.
• Communicate clearly, follow up consistently, and raise questions or delays early.
• Research companies, products, and services to help strengthen our partner network.
Who Will Thrive Here
We are looking for someone who is eager to contribute, willing to learn, and thoughtful about solving problems.
You take initiative. You are willing to make the first call, ask a question, and help move an activity toward its next
step.
You build trust. You listen carefully, communicate respectfully, and keep your commitments.
You are resourceful. You enjoy research and keep looking when the first option does not work.
You pay attention. You check details, spot missing information, and understand why accuracy matters.
You are coachable. You welcome feedback, ask for help when needed, and take responsibility for your work.
You follow through. You stay organized, keep records current, and help the team meet deadlines.

• An interest in partner development, sourcing, procurement, sales, or business operations.
• Comfort reaching out to new contacts and communicating professionally by phone and email.
• Strong organization, attention to detail, and consistent follow-through.
• Good written and verbal communication skills and a willingness to ask thoughtful questions.
• Practical research and problem-solving skills, with a willingness to learn how to compare supplier options.
• Comfort using email, spreadsheets, and shared business tools; familiarity with a CRM is helpful.
• The ability to manage several tasks, follow direction, and collaborate closely with a team.
Previous experience in administrative support, customer service, sales support, sourcing, or a related role is helpful,
but not required. We welcome early-career candidates and people bringing transferable experience and a willingness
to learn.
A relevant degree or coursework is welcome, but we value initiative, reliability, attention to detail, and coachability.
Why Red Orange?
You will work across industries, connect with partners around the world, and see how your contributions help the
company grow. You will have the opportunity to:
• Build practical experience in partner research, outreach, and relationship support.
• Support government and commercial customer opportunities.
• Learn how sourcing, sales, operations, and government contracting work together.
• Develop your communication, coordination, and commercial skills with guidance from the team.
• Take on additional responsibilities as your skills and confidence grow.
We value curious, dependable people who take ownership, treat others with respect, and make the team better.
