Job description

Growth & Company is a consultancy first and a recruiter second. We work with founders and investors to advise them on growth, then hire the teams to deliver it. Our Partner has more than 20 years' experience in marketing and uses that to help clients navigate complex issues - international expansion, team structures, launching new products, and more. We hire from our invite-only community of over 450 senior marketing people from the major startups in London, and have worked closely with the likes of Metaview, ZOE, Dex, DrSquatch, ElevenLabs, Granola, Fyxer and Attio.

We operate very differently to a normal recruiter as:

• 100% of our clients are inbound. We do no sales
• We have done the job before so can offer deep advice to founders, VCs and candidates on marketing. We are a trusted partner
• We run a network of over 450 senior marketing people who we hire from (and hire for)
• We advise clients on wider issues such as how to structure teams, international expansion, remuneration and progression planning
• We have deep expertise in marketing and produce our own events and thought-leadership

• Creating LinkedIn content for the team
• Rebuilding the company website
• Producing thought-leadership content

- Supporting on client projects

• Preparing key documents for clients
• Speaking to candidates and partners

- Helping keep our community and network running smoothly

• Welcoming new members

Key requirements

• Proactive. Side hustles and other evidence of proactivity
• Strong communicator and high EQ. Can build relationships with a variety of different people
• Sense of taste with marketing. What is on and off brand?
• Passion for marketing and startup culture
• Willing to get stuck in - can-do attitude
• Based in London

• Learn from an experienced founder, one-on-one
• Work closely with leading VC firms on events and content
• Work closely with marketing leaders from amazing companies, including Metaview, ElevenLabs, Granola, Fyxer, Cleo, Dex and Attio
• A unique and very fast-growing consultancy model
