The Growth Lead works closely with portfolio companies to identify and execute growth opportunities. The role can span a wide range of work, including paid advertising, outbound sales processes, market sizing, landing pages, churn prevention, cross-selling, conference planning, and programmatic SEO.

The Growth Lead acts as a fractional head of growth across portfolio companies, working with Product Leads and company GMs to understand users and product direction, prioritize experiments, and drive revenue. The role calls for someone who can enter a business with limited context, ask useful questions, and independently build and launch practical growth initiatives. It also includes creating reusable systems and hiring other growth professionals.
