Job description

About us

Grow Business is a UK digital growth agency. We help ecommerce, lead generation, local service and B2B clients win more customers through paid ads, Shopify and SEO. We now want to use AI to generate traffic and qualified leads for our own business, and we’re looking for someone to build that with us.

The role

This isn’t a “just execute tickets” job. You’ll work directly with the founder, bring your own ideas, and help decide what we build, launch and scale. We want a creative, critical thinker who pushes back when something won’t work.

Long-term opportunity

We want a long-term AI lead, not a short-term contractor. As the business grows, you’ll build and manage your own team of developers and operators. If you stay for 6–12 months and help drive growth, you’ll be offered equity in the business, with the exact amount tied to growth milestones.

What you’ll build

• Cold outreach agents: lead sourcing, enrichment and personalised email/LinkedIn sequences
• SEO automation: keyword research, content briefs, on-page optimisation and publishing workflows
• Social media agents: content ideas, drafting, scheduling and engagement
• Lead qualification: scoring and routing hot leads to us quickly
• Your first project: set up a local AI model on our Mac mini, then decide with us what to automate first

Requirements

• Proven experience building AI agents or automations. Show us things you’ve shipped.
• Hands‑on with LLM APIs (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.), plus at least one of n8n, Make or Zapier, or Python/JS
• Experience with local models (Ollama, LM Studio or similar) is a strong bonus
• Understanding of marketing: outreach, SEO, funnels and lead generation
• Strong written English, UK hours, and comfortable making decisions and owning results
• Ambition to grow into a leadership role and build a team
