TABLE OF CONTENTS

Founding Growth Lead

Our Culture

Our culture is defined by six characteristics

High Ownership and Accountability: Turn great ideas into reality and own the outcome. No red tape here, and plenty of tokens
Ambition and High Achievement: An exceptionally high bar combined with humility
Openness: A flat structure where the best ideas win
Transparency: Everyone sees the goals, the plan and the numbers.
Teamwork: it takes a village - this is a collaborative, high comms team environment
Trust: Responsibility, flexibility and tools in exchange for high standards.

Role Mission

As our founding Growth hire, you'll be the driving force behind how the world discovers Orchestra. From the outset, you'll have full ownership over demand generation, from content and brand to paid acquisition - turning a blank canvas into a repeatable growth machine. This is a founding growth hire, so you'll be defining the playbook, not just executing someone else's.

You’ll be empowered with an incredible playbook of guerrilla, viral, and omni-channel marketing. As an AI-First company we have incredible access to data, a viral marketing playbook, and awesome partners who help us create incredible content. If you can dream it, we can test it, distribute it, and iterate on it. This is super unique for an early-stage company. We have over 100,000 followers looking at our content in a given week, so this is potentially a super high impact rule for someone who knows how to summarise extremely complex technical problems in simple meme form.

What You’ll Accomplish

Own SEO: build and execute our organic search strategy to drive long-term, compounding pipeline
Own content: write blog posts, LinkedIn posts (and yes, the odd meme) that build Orchestra’s brand and voice in the data/AI space
Own Ads: run and optimise paid acquisition across channels, owning budget and ROI
Own the website: keep our site sharp, on-brand, and converting
Arrange events: plan and run events that build community and generate pipeline
Define the plan: as the founding growth hire, you'll get to build and own the growth function's roadmap as it scales

Exceptional Candidates Have Demonstrated

A generalist mindset: you're equally comfortable writing a blog post, tweaking an ad campaign, and pulling conversion data and you’re ambitious enough and inquisitive enough to learn areas you don’t know
Creativity: Marketing software to engineers is an old game, and doing stuff differently is what works. You should have demonstrated doing this before
Results: you've held yourself accountable to actual KPIs, not just things like traffic, web views, and the occasional blog post
Volume and systems: you're building the systems and processes that allow you to create content that's effective quickly. You have high velocity, and are used to shipping quality content daily
FastLearner: you're happy to write the copy yourself, edit the video yourself, and only bring in help once you've proven the process works. You've learned this and taught it yourself
Big picture thinking: despite being hands-on, you can zoom out and see which channels and experiments are actually worth the team's time
A bias to experimentation: you'd rather ship ten scrappy tests than spend a month perfecting one campaign
Ownership of output: you've taken something (a project, a side hustle, a campaign) from zero to a real result, and can point to what you built and why it worked
Comfort with data: you're not intimidated by a spreadsheet or a dashboard - you use data to make decisions, not just to report on them

Requirements

4+ years experience working in a high-growth, high pressure environment such as a consultancy, investment bank, or scale-up
2+ years operational experience in a high-growth environment
Based in London / happy to be in our new London-based office 3 days a week
We are unable to offer sponsorship at this time
