Head of Growth
Foundersmax is seeking a highly strategic and execution-oriented Head of Growth to design, implement, and scale end-to-end growth engines across our venture studio ecosystem and portfolio companies. Working closely with the Venture Architect, product builders, and studio leadership, you will turn zero-to-one concepts into scalable customer acquisition channels, establish repeatability in unit economics, and build standardized growth playbooks for emerging studio ventures.
Responsibilities
Define and execute growth strategies across early-stage portfolio companies from concept to initial market validation, go-to-market (GTM) launch, and rapid scale-up. Architect, test, and optimize full-funnel acquisition, activation, retention, and referral loops to establish clear product-market fit (PMF) indicators and sustainable unit economics. Develop repeatable, studio-wide growth playbooks, frameworks, and performance toolkits that can be deployed rapidly across new portfolio ventures. Oversee strategy and hands-on execution of multi-channel user acquisition campaigns across performance media, organic search/SEO, content loops, viral mechanisms, lifecycle marketing, and partnership distribution. Establish key performance metrics (CAC, LTV, Retention, Payback Period, Conversion Rates), analytics tracking, and attribution models to govern data-driven go/no-go decisions for early-stage ventures. Partner seamlessly with Venture Architects, product managers, and technical leads to build growth-informed MVPs and rapid product-led growth (PLG) viral loops. Transition early-stage venture growth operations to incoming portfolio marketing teams and permanent leadership as ventures scale towards spin-off. What We're Looking For 7+ years of experience in growth marketing, acquisition strategy, demand generation, or growth product leadership within tech startups, growth equity, or venture studios. Proven history of architecting growth engines from scratch, launching successful GTM strategies, and driving measurable customer acquisition for early-stage software, AI, or platform products. Strong analytical capability with extensive knowledge of attribution modeling, funnel analytics, cohort analysis, and growth modeling tools (e.g., Amplitude, Mixpanel, Google Analytics, SQL). Mastery of lean growth experimentation, A/B testing, and rapid iteration across acquisition channels and landing page conversions. Deep expertise across performance marketing channels, email/lifecycle automation, conversion rate optimization (CRO), and growth hacking tools. Comfortable prototyping ad creatives, copy, and campaigns independently.
What We Offer
Equity-first founding package (significant ownership in the studio). Cash compensation added post-raise or revenue milestones. Gain direct upside participation across the studio's broader initiative portfolio rather than betting on a single startup's outcome.
