Founding Growth Operations

THE OPPORTUNITY

Hedge is hiring a founding growth operator to build the systems that turn market opportunity into repeatable revenue. This is a hands-on role for someone who can move from analysis to campaign to operating process without waiting for a large team.

COMPENSATION AND UPSIDE

Base salary is $110K-$150K. Target OTE is $180K-$250K, with performance compensation tied to measurable growth outcomes. Equity is 0.25%-1.50%.

WHAT YOU WILL OWN

• Build the growth data model, dashboards, attribution, and operating cadence

• Design and run acquisition, activation, and expansion experiments

• Create lifecycle programs for agencies, prospects, and dormant opportunities

• Improve lead routing, enrichment, segmentation, and conversion across the funnel

• Partner with sales, product, and markets to turn insight into execution

• Document the playbooks that let a small team scale

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

• First 30 days: establish a trusted funnel baseline and identify the highest-leverage gaps

• By day 60: launch measurable experiments and a weekly growth review

• By day 90: show improved conversion in at least one material part of the funnel

• In 12 months: operate a predictable, instrumented growth engine with clear economics

WHO THRIVES HERE

You combine analytical depth with a bias to ship. You are comfortable in spreadsheets, systems, and customer conversations, and you can distinguish a useful signal from a vanity metric. Early-stage experience is strongly preferred.

WHY HEDGE
