AI-Native Growth Lead

Texas & Massachusetts, United States Remote Full-time

Build the growth engine for a firm with product-market fit, happy clients, zero outside capital. First dedicated growth hire. Real impact, real outcomes.

The Opportunity

We've grown 4x on relationships alone. Now we're adding the engine.

Ignition Consultants provides fractional CFO services to growth-stage companies. We've helped 250+ clients raise over $3B in capital. Our growth has been organic — word of mouth, referrals, founders talking to founders.

That flywheel works. But we are prepared for more scale. Come build a repeatable growth engine that multiplies what's already working — without losing what makes us different.

What You'll Own

Build the engine. Don't just run plays.

Your job is to build and run the engines that turn that direction into pipeline and revenue.

Pipeline & Demand Generation

Own the systems that generate qualified opportunities — not dependent on founders' calendars

Channel Partnerships

Build institutional referral relationships with VCs, PE firms, law firms, and accelerators — the kind where one partnership opens 10 doors a year

Strategic Partnerships

Turn vendor relationships, referral networks, and industry adjacencies into growth infrastructure — not just contacts

Experimentation & Learning

Test channels, messaging, approaches — with clear thesis and measurable outcomes

AI-Native Operations

Use Cursor, Claude Code, and our internal AI platform to operate like a team of 5

Have scaled a growth function or stepped into mess and made progress
Are inventive AND rigorous — experimentation with clear thesis
Use AI daily to increase speed and leverage
Want visible impact on a small team
Can articulate how you'd approach this — not wait to be told

This Won't Work If You
