The Director of Growth will take full ownership of building and scaling the acquisition engine for a fast-growing private investment and co-investment community. This is a hands-on, revenue-focused leadership role centered on turning brand visibility and audience engagement into qualified applications and new members. You will develop strategic distribution partnerships, activate founder-led audiences, and build scalable acquisition systems from the ground up. Overseeing the entire marketing infrastructure, you will optimize newsletters, websites, conversion funnels, and application journeys to maximize performance. You will also establish measurable growth strategies, track acquisition economics, and identify opportunities to improve conversion and revenue generation. Working closely with founders, operators, and external partners, you will have significant autonomy and the opportunity to shape the company's long-term growth trajectory.

As Director of Growth, you will lead the development and execution of a comprehensive growth strategy, taking direct responsibility for acquisition channels, marketing infrastructure, partnerships, and conversion performance. Your responsibilities will include:

Develop and execute innovative growth strategies to expand market reach, increase qualified applications, and drive membership growth.
Identify, approach, negotiate, and activate strategic distribution partnerships, including affiliates, event organizers, referral channels, and other relevant partners.
Independently manage partner outreach, relationship development, commercial negotiations, and ongoing performance.
Build and optimize founder-led and personal-brand distribution strategies, particularly through LinkedIn, to convert audience engagement into qualified applications.
Develop repeatable and measurable customer acquisition channels capable of generating a consistent pipeline of qualified applicants.
Monitor acquisition performance, including customer acquisition costs, conversion rates, channel efficiency, and overall return on investment.
Plan, launch, and optimize paid performance marketing campaigns when appropriate, focusing on cost per qualified application.
Own the marketing infrastructure end to end, including newsletter strategy, email campaigns, website performance, sales funnels, video sales letters (VSLs), and application processes.
Build effective conversion journeys connecting LinkedIn activity, content distribution, and other acquisition channels to applications and sales.
Analyze the entire conversion funnel, identify performance gaps, implement improvements, and maximize conversion rates.
Establish weekly growth reviews covering acquisition pipelines, partner performance, cost per qualified application, and strategic priorities.
Prepare clear performance reports and use data-driven insights to guide growth decisions.
Coordinate contractors, agencies, and cross-functional collaborators to execute growth initiatives effectively.
Develop and expand the growth function into a dedicated team as business performance and operational needs justify it.
