The role / why it matters

As Head of Growth, you will build the company’s top-of-funnel engine from the ground up and turn early customer traction into a repeatable source of qualified pipeline. Reporting directly to the CEO, you will shape the growth strategy, execute it yourself, and grow a team as the strongest channels prove out.

What you'll do

• Own the qualified pipeline target and refine the ideal customer profile with the CEO.

• Build and run outbound campaigns across email, LinkedIn, warm introductions, and founder networks.

• Develop organic and earned growth through founder-focused content, customer stories, launches, and public relations.

• Create referral partnerships with venture firms, accelerators, and other organizations serving startups.

• Plan founder dinners, workshops, and other community events that build trusted relationships with prospective customers.

• Build the data and automation layer for growth, instrument the funnel, and run frequent experiments.

• Hire the first growth team members as repeatable channels emerge.

What we're looking for

• 2-6 years of experience in growth, with hands-on ownership of top-of-funnel work at an early-stage startup.

• A record of personally generating pipeline through a mix of outbound, organic, and earned channels.

• Practical experience with modern go-to-market tools for enrichment, sequencing, and CRM.

• The ability to build lightweight automations with scripts or no-code tools and use funnel data to guide decisions.

• Strong writing for social posts, cold outreach, landing pages, and event invitations.

• Confidence representing a company with founders in person, on camera, and in public settings.

Bonus points

• Experience as a founder, early team member, or growth builder at a startup backed by Y Combinator or Andreessen Horowitz.

• An existing audience or network among startup founders and operators.

• Experience creating founder communities, hosting events, or building startup ecosystem partnerships.

Compensation and benefits

The base salary range is $125,000-$175,000 USD, with a bonus tied to qualified pipeline metrics and uncapped performance upside. OTE potential is $250,000+ based on performance. The role includes meaningful founding-team equity, health and dental coverage, and a 401(k).

Location / work model

This is a hybrid role based in San Francisco, with three days per week in the office. Relocation to the Bay Area may be considered for exceptional candidates.
