About The Position

Ownwell is seeking a Growth Lead for new markets to act as a strategic thought partner, operator, and builder for market expansion. This role is not traditional; the individual will own high-priority initiatives, shape strategy, and drive execution on critical business problems. Responsibilities include developing go-to-market strategies for new market expansions and collaborating with Product, Engineering, Legal, and Operations to unlock new growth opportunities. The role offers a broad view of the company and direct interaction with senior leadership across functions.

Requirements

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.

Responsibilities

Own strategic growth initiatives, leading geographic expansion efforts with full accountability for growth, customer acquisition, and business performance.
Solve the company’s hardest cross-functional problems by partnering with Product, Engineering, Operations, Data, Sales, Finance, and Legal to identify bottlenecks, align teams, and drive business outcomes.
Turn ambiguity into action by breaking down complex problems, developing thoughtful recommendations, and executing quickly with minimal oversight.
Act as a force multiplier for the VP of Growth & Marketing by driving key initiatives from idea through execution.
Build new growth opportunities by evaluating new products, partnerships, pricing strategies, acquisition channels, operational improvements, and market expansion opportunities.
Drive operational excellence by establishing goals, improving planning, tracking execution, and ensuring high-priority initiatives stay on track across teams.
