About you
You are an established and energetic Head of Growth. With experience working with early to mid-level start-ups, defining and executing the full growth strategy is something you have done, and you love.
Managing and overseeing a variety of growth channels and strategies (SEO, Email, Google/Facebook ads, CRO, traditional media, partnerships and PR) is your bread and butter. You love leveraging all mechanisms and nurturing something exciting into something big and exciting!
Maybe you’re at a stage where you have taken the company as far as you can; having over exceeded both your own and your team’s expectations, and you are now ready to do it all over again. You want to be a part of an exciting new challenge, and want to collaborate with forward-thinking people who aren’t afraid to experiment with new strategies in order to grow the business.
You have a background in working with internal and external teams, with a successful track record in getting things done. You are comfortable managing and developing people within your team, and relish getting down and dirty. Getting just as involved with the day to day as you are with the strategy excites you, and is what you specialise in!
Does this sound like you? If so, we want to talk to you; we have something quite exciting to chat about! :)
