The Role:We're looking for a growth lead for new markets - someone who can operate as a strategic thought partner, an operator, and a builder to expand our markets.
This isn't a traditional growth role. You'll own some of our highest-priority initiatives, help shape strategy, and personally drive execution on the problems that matter most to the business. One day you may be building the go-to-market strategy for a new market expansion. Next, you could be working with Product, Engineering, Legal, and Operations to unlock a completely new growth opportunity.
You'll have an unusually broad view of the company and work directly with senior leaders across nearly every function.
What you'll do:- Own strategic growth initiatives. Lead one of Ownwell's most important geographic expansion efforts with full accountability for growth, customer acquisition, and business performance.
- Solve the company's hardest cross-functional problems. Partner with Product, Engineering, Operations, Data, Sales, Finance, and Legal to identify bottlenecks, align teams, and drive business outcomes.
- Turn ambiguity into action. Break down complex problems, develop thoughtful recommendations, and execute quickly with minimal oversight.
- Act as a force multiplier. Help the VP of Growth & Marketing focus on the highest-leverage work by driving key initiatives from idea through execution.
- Build new growth opportunities. Evaluate new products, partnerships, pricing strategies, acquisition channels, operational improvements, and market expansion opportunities.
- Drive operational excellence. Establish goals, improve planning, track execution, and ensure high-priority initiatives stay on track across teams.
Who you are:- 2-4 years of experience in strategy consulting, investment banking, private equity, venture capital, or a high-growth startup.
- Exceptionally ambitious with a strong desire to accelerate your career and take on outsized responsibility early
- A first-principles thinker who enjoys solving ambiguous, high-impact problems with creativity and rigor.
- Highly analytical with the ability to quickly structure complex problems and develop practical, data-driven solutions.
- Equally comfortable with strategy and execution - you enjoy developing the plan just as much as rolling up your sleeves to make it happen.
- A natural owner who proactively identifies opportunities, drives alignment across teams, and follows through until the work is complete.
- An outstanding communicator who can distill complex ideas, influence stakeholders, and build trust across every level of the organization.
- Highly organized and detail-oriented, capable of managing multiple high-priority initiatives without letting things fall through the cracks.
- Resourceful and resilient, with a bias toward action and the ability to thrive in a fast-paced, constantly evolving environment.
- Committed to excellence and willing to make the tradeoffs required to produce exceptional work and accelerate your own growth.
- You care more about learning, ownership, and impact than title or hierarchy.
Why this role:This is one of the highest-leverage roles at Ownwell.
You'll work directly with executive leadership, influence company strategy, and own initiatives that materially impact growth. You'll gain exposure to nearly every part of the business, from product and engineering to finance, operations, and marketing, and help shape how Ownwell scales over the coming years.
If your long-term ambition is to become a General Manager, founder, or CEO, there are few opportunities that offer this level of ownership, breadth, and learning.
