Team Leader

Team Lead — High Performing Departments Remote | Competitive Monthly Wage About the Role Fusion Growth Partners is seeking an experienced Team Lead to oversee one of our high-performing production departments. This is a leadership-first role: you will not be hired to personally produce the work, but to manage, coach, and hold accountable the team that does. Depending on your background, you may lead a team specializing in: Video Editing & Motion Graphics Graphic Design & Branding Email Campaigns Database Management Social Media Content & Scheduling Website Development & Maintenance Digital Marketing Campaigns Transaction Marketing While each department has its own tools and technical demands, every Team Lead at Fusion is measured the same way: on their ability to manage people, manage volume, and manage deadlines. This is a management role first — subject-matter expertise is what determines which team you lead, not whether you're qualified to lead one. About Us Fusion Growth Partners is a business incubator and micro-venture capital company that invests in small service-based businesses and real estate professionals, helping them scale their clientele, systems, and profitability. Our "Partnership as a Service" model earned us recognition as the 813th fastest-growing company in America by Inc. 5000, and we now have more than 300 team members worldwide. We operate in a high-volume, deadline-driven environment where every task matters and every day brings shifting priorities.
