junior partner
Firm's lesser stakeholder
A junior partner holds a lower rank in a business partnership, typically with less ownership stake, authority, and profit share than senior partners.
The term extends to any subordinate participant in a collaborative relationship: In the alliance, Britain served as America's junior partner.
Junior partners do real work but don't call the shots.
