About The Position

This is a senior client-facing role for someone who wants to operate at the intersection of strategy, growth, sales, and execution. You will work directly with founders and business owners, understand their business in depth, identify what is holding growth back, and help them decide what to do next. You are not here to simply manage a relationship. You are here to become a trusted partner in the growth of the business. That means understanding the client's goals, offer, market, acquisition strategy, sales process, delivery model, current constraints, and commercial priorities - then helping them turn that into a clear plan of action. In some conversations, you will be helping a founder sharpen their positioning. In others, you will be diagnosing why pipeline is weak, why sales are not converting, why execution is stalling, or where the next growth opportunity sits. Your job is to create clarity. To tell clients what matters now. To show them what needs to happen next. And to make sure the right actions actually happen. This is not a traditional Customer Success role. It is a role for someone who wants to become an exceptional commercial operator by working closely with ambitious founders and helping them solve real business problems. The Opportunity You will have exposure to a large number of businesses, markets, offers, sales models, and growth challenges. That creates an unusually steep learning curve. Instead of spending years inside one company solving one set of problems, you will see patterns across dozens of businesses and develop the judgment to quickly understand: What is actually holding growth back What is noise and what matters Where the highest-leverage opportunity is What the founder should focus on now What should be stopped What should be doubled down on How strategy should translate into execution Over time, the expectation is that clients see you as someone whose judgment they trust. Someone who can walk into a complicated situation, understand it quickly, simplify it, and give them a clear direction forward. If you want to build serious capability in growth strategy, founder communication, sales, operations, and commercial decision-making, this role gives you the environment to do it.

Direct exposure to areas such as outbound, sales, offer creation, paid acquisition, pipeline management, consulting, or agency delivery

Commercial Judgment: Understand how businesses grow and make money. Connect strategy to revenue and distinguish between activity and actual commercial progress.

Strategic Thinking: Move between the big picture and immediate execution. Know how to turn an ambitious goal into the next few actions that actually matter.
Founder-Level Communication: Communicate confidently with intelligent, ambitious, demanding people. Comfortable challenging ideas without becoming confrontational. Give clear advice even when it is not what the client hoped to hear.
High Ownership: Do not wait to be told what to do when something is obviously not working. Investigate, decide what needs to happen, and move it forward.
Structured Execution: Excellent at turning conversations into decisions, priorities, actions, owners, and timelines.
Curiosity: Genuinely enjoy understanding businesses. Want to know why an offer works, why one market responds differently, why one sales process converts and another does not, why certain founders execute faster than others.

Responsibilities

Become a True Growth Partner to Clients: Work closely with founders to understand the business beyond surface-level account updates. Build a clear picture of their business model, target market, ICP, offer, pricing, positioning, acquisition channels, sales process, current pipeline, delivery model, team capacity, growth goals, and immediate constraints. From there, help determine the highest-priority actions required to move the business forward.
Advise, Don't Just Support: Lead the thinking and be comfortable saying: 'This is the problem I think we need to solve first.' 'This is where I think you're focusing on the wrong thing.' 'This is the strategy I would recommend.' 'This is what I would do over the next 30 days.' 'This is what needs to happen before we scale.' Challenge clients when needed, simplify decisions, and help them avoid wasting time on low-leverage work. Value comes from judgment, not just responsiveness.
Turn Strategy Into Action: Ensure every strategic conversation translates into clear priorities. Help clients move from broad goals to focused execution: Define the objective, Identify the constraint, Decide the strategy, Break it into clear actions, Assign ownership, Set timelines, Review what happened, Adjust based on results. Reduce complexity rather than add to it, identifying the two or three most important things a client should be doing.
Help Clients Build Revenue: Think commercially, understanding the complete journey from market to revenue: Positioning → Acquisition → Conversations → Pipeline → Sales → Revenue → Delivery → Expansion. Help clients understand where that journey is breaking down (e.g., investigating acquisition issues, sales process, or operational challenges). Move across the business rather than treating growth as a single function.
Work Across Growth Channels: Depending on the client, advise across areas such as cold email, outbound, paid acquisition, offer development, ICP and positioning, lead generation, CRM and pipeline, sales process, follow-up, proposal strategy, pricing, go-to-market, operational priorities, and AI implementation. Understand enough commercially to identify what is working, what is not, ask the right questions, and make good strategic recommendations.
Lead High-Level Client Conversations: Spend significant time speaking directly with founders and senior operators. Conversations should be valuable enough that a founder would pay for the thinking itself. Review business performance, analyze what has changed, identify opportunities, diagnose problems, challenge assumptions, set priorities, recommend strategy, help unblock decisions, and keep momentum high. The standard is whether the meeting changed what happens next.
Own the Bigger Picture: Maintain the full commercial picture for clients, understanding how different efforts connect to the overall strategy and whether the combined effort is moving the client toward their objective. Take ownership of resolving disconnected teams, conflicting priorities, or things falling through the cracks. Ensure the client feels they have one clear strategic partner who understands the whole business.
Identify Risk Before It Becomes a Problem: Recognize when a client is losing momentum, execution has stalled, the strategy is not producing results, expectations are misaligned, lead flow is weak, sales follow-up is poor, internal delivery is becoming a blocker, or the client is focusing on the wrong priorities. Act to address uncomfortable realities before they become larger problems.
