Senior Strategic Growth Partner

Remote

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.

Requirements

  • 7+ years in consulting, growth, client strategy, account management, sales, operations, or a senior client-facing role
  • Experience working directly with founders, executives, or business owners

  • Experience helping businesses solve growth or execution problems
  • Strong understanding of B2B go-to-market
  • Direct exposure to areas such as outbound, sales, offer creation, paid acquisition, pipeline management, consulting, or agency delivery
  • Experience operating in fast-moving environments where judgment matters more than rigid process
  • Commercial Judgment: Understand how businesses grow and make money; connect strategy to revenue; distinguish between activity and commercial progress.
  • Strong Diagnostic Ability: Quickly identify underlying issues in complicated situations; separate symptoms from root causes.
  • Strategic Thinking: Move between the big picture and immediate execution; turn ambitious goals into actionable steps.
  • Founder-Level Communication: Communicate confidently with intelligent, ambitious, demanding people; give clear advice even when it's difficult.
  • High Ownership: Investigate, decide, and move forward on issues without being told.
  • Structured Execution: Turn conversations into decisions, priorities, actions, owners, and timelines.
  • Curiosity: Genuine enjoyment in understanding businesses and why they succeed or fail.

Nice To Haves

  • This role is best suited to someone who wants to accelerate their career by taking on real responsibility.
  • You want to become the kind of person founders trust when making important decisions.
  • You want to develop judgment, not just knowledge.
  • You want to understand how businesses grow from the inside.
  • You are excited by the idea of working across many different companies, seeing patterns quickly, and becoming better at solving commercial problems every week.
  • You do not want to spend your career running scripted calls.
  • You want to sit across from a founder, understand what they are trying to build, and help them build it.

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. 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,' or '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.
  • Turn Strategy Into Action: Translate strategic conversations into clear priorities. Help clients move from broad goals to focused execution by defining objectives, identifying constraints, deciding strategy, breaking it into clear actions, assigning ownership, setting timelines, and reviewing results. Reduce complexity by identifying the most important actions.
  • Help Clients Build Revenue: Think commercially and understand the complete journey from market to revenue (Positioning → Acquisition → Conversations → Pipeline → Sales → Revenue → Delivery → Expansion). Help clients understand where that journey is breaking down and investigate areas like offer, market, message, channel, qualification, sales process, follow-up, positioning, pricing, or operational changes.
  • Work Across Growth Channels: 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, and AI implementation. 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. Review business performance, analyze changes, identify opportunities, diagnose problems, challenge assumptions, set priorities, recommend strategy, unblock decisions, and create accountability. Ensure meetings change what happens next.
  • Own the Bigger Picture: Maintain the full commercial picture for clients, understanding how different efforts connect to the overall strategy and objective. Take ownership of resolving disconnected teams, conflicting priorities, or gaps in execution.
  • Identify Risk Before It Becomes a Problem: Recognize early signs of declining momentum, stalled execution, misaligned expectations, weak lead flow, poor sales follow-up, delivery blockers, wrong priorities, or declining trust. Address uncomfortable realities before they become larger problems.
