  • Run rapid growth experiments, measure results, and turn successful approaches into repeatable programs.
  • Help determine which customer segments to prioritize and how to earn prospective clients' attention.
  • Partner with the founder, who leads owner calls, advisory, and deal closing.
What We're Looking For
  • Demonstrated personal success acquiring founders, small and midsize businesses, or business-owner customers through channels such as outbound, automation, events, gifting, partnerships, or referrals.
  • Experience as an early growth hire at a fast-growing startup, or equivalent evidence of winning business-owner customers.
  • A hands-on approach to building campaigns, writing outreach sequences, and setting up automation directly.
  • Strong creative judgment and a practical understanding of customer acquisition cost, conversion funnels, and retention.
  • Finance, M&A, or banking experience is not required.
