We are looking for a Head of Growth & New Ventures /Founding Lead to build and run our next wave of revenue and growth ventures — each one owned the way a founder owns a company. This is a founder-level role that sits beside the founders, not beneath them. You will take the bets that matter most to the business, form your own conviction about how to win, build the team and the machine to execute, and own the outcome end to end — including the number.
This is not a delivery or coordination seat. It is a build-and-own role for someone who thinks like an owner: take a raw opportunity, decide whether and how to pursue it, stand up the venture, take it to market, and either scale it or kill it on the evidence. The initiatives will span newsletters, affiliate and performance marketing, and SaaS and tech — sometimes several at once, each effectively its own company-within-the-company. You will use every tool available to move faster and think sharper, and that includes AI.
We move fast and we build businesses that matter. The right person treats each initiative as if their own capital were on the line. If you have founded, built, or run a venture or business line — taken something from zero to revenue and owned the result — and you want to do that repeatedly inside a company where your bets are visible and your impact is real, this role was built for you.
WHAT YOU WILL OWN
Venture ownership, end to end
You own new revenue ventures the way a founder does — shape the thesis, validate the bet, build it, launch it, and decide whether to scale or shut it down. You carry the P&L, set the strategy, and run go-to-market and unit economics. You'll manage a portfolio of bets simultaneously and make the call on where to double down and where to cut.
Founder-level partnership
You sit beside the founders as a peer — challenging the thesis, bringing your own, and co-owning direction. You bring decision-ready thinking: the upside, the risk, the recommendation. You surface hard truths early and close the loop on every commitment with owner accountability, not manager compliance.
Building teams and organisations
You hire and build the founding team for each venture — recruiting and setting the bar the way a founder hires their first ten. You build culture and operating rhythm from zero, coordinate shared resources without formal authority, and lead by conviction rather than control.
Speed, conviction, and smart tooling
You move with founder urgency, make decisions on incomplete information, and own them. You use AI and automation as leverage to compress timelines and do more with smaller teams — and you stay ahead of the tooling landscape without being pointed to it.
Building the operating system for new ventures
You build the machine that lets the company stand up ventures repeatedly: playbooks, infrastructure, SOPs, and decision logs so every new bet starts from a running start. You own the toolstack, fix systemic bottlenecks at the root, and document so any venture can be handed off or scaled without the knowledge walking out.
Owning the number
You define the economics that determine whether each venture lives — unit economics, payback, growth efficiency — and build reporting that tracks them from day one. You allocate people and budget like an owner, run honest post-mortems, and report to the founders the way a founder reports to a board: no spin, no sandbagging, no surprises.
WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR
Must-have
A founder or operator who has built and owned something — started a company or business line, or taken a 0-to-1 initiative end to end with real commercial ownership and a number attached
5 to 7+ years building and running ventures, new business lines, or complex commercial initiatives where you owned the outcome, not just the delivery
Proven track record taking something from zero to revenue: thesis, build, launch, and the decision to scale or stop, with results to show for it
Comfortable owning a P&L and the
