working partner
Joint venture colleague
A working partner is a business partner who actively participates in daily operations, as opposed to a silent partner who provides capital but takes no management role.
The working partner contributes labor and expertise rather than just investment: She's the working partner who runs the restaurant while her brother handles the finances from afar.
