Job description

Head of Growth & Strategic Partnerships

Location: Remote
Preference: New England-based

The Opportunity

An established digital strategy and experience consulting firm is looking for a senior growth leader to help build the next phase of its commercial organization.

The firm has built a strong reputation through exceptional client work, long-term relationships, referrals, and repeat business. The next opportunity is to complement that foundation with a more intentional, measurable, and predictable approach to growth.

This is not a traditional high-volume sales role. We're looking for someone who can both build the growth engine and personally create opportunities.

You'll work directly with the firm's leadership team to develop the growth strategy, create greater discipline around pipeline and forecasting, expand strategic relationships, and generate new consulting opportunities.

What You'll Own

Growth Strategy & Revenue Planning

• Translate annual revenue goals into actionable growth plans

• Determine required pipeline, opportunity volume, win rates, and target engagement sizes

• Identify priority industries, buyers, and sources of new business

• Establish measurable growth goals and accountability

Pipeline & Forecasting

• Own CRM and pipeline management

• Build accurate forecasting and reporting

• Lead regular pipeline reviews

• Establish repeatable business development processes and metrics

• Identify risks and opportunities early

Business Development

• Identify and develop new client relationships

• Lead consultative conversations with prospective clients

• Understand business challenges and identify potential engagements

• Partner with firm leadership through proposal development and closing

Demand Generation & Partnerships

Build and test programs that create qualified opportunities, including:

• Strategic outbound

• Thought leadership

• Referral programs

• Events and conferences

• Account-based outreach

• Industry networking

• Strategic partnerships

You'll also develop relationships with complementary organizations such as digital agencies, technology consultancies, product firms, branding agencies, and other professional services organizations.

Opportunity Qualification

Help the firm become more disciplined about which opportunities it pursues.

You'll evaluate potential work based on strategic fit, access to decision-makers, competitive position, revenue potential, likelihood of success, and required investment.

The goal is not simply more pipeline. It is better pipeline and a higher probability of winning the right work.

What We're Looking For

• 10+ years of experience in growth, business development, strategic partnerships, or consulting sales

• Demonstrated success selling professional services or consulting engagements

• Experience within digital strategy, UX/CX, product, technology consulting, digital transformation, or a related environment

• Track record of personally generating new business and developing executive relationships

• Strong understanding of CRM, pipeline management, forecasting, and commercial planning

• Ability to create structure and process within an entrepreneurial organization

• Established professional network capable of opening new relationships and opportunities

• Consultative, relationship-oriented approach to business development

You May Be a Strong Fit If You

• Have helped grow an agency, consultancy, or professional services firm

• Are equally comfortable developing relationships and building systems

• Prefer consultative selling to transactional sales

• Know how to turn relationships into revenue

• Enjoy creating structure where little currently exists

• Can operate independently without a large sales or marketing infrastructure

• Want meaningful influence over the growth strategy of an established firm

What Success Looks Like

Within the first 12-18 months, you will have helped the organization:

• Build a measurable growth strategy aligned with revenue goals

• Create a healthier and more predictable pipeline

• Generate a consistent flow of qualified new opportunities

• Improve forecasting and revenue visibility

• Establish repeatable business development processes

• Expand its strategic partnership network

• Improve opportunity qualification and proposal win rates

• Become more proactive and intentional about growth

Why Join

This is an opportunity to build rather than inherit.

You'll work closely with an experienced leadership team, have meaningful influence over the firm's commercial strategy, and help shape how a respected consulting business grows over the next several years.

The organization offers a collaborative, entrepreneurial environment with a strong emphasis on relationships, quality of work, and sustainable long-term growth.

Compensation includes a competitive base salary plus performance-based incentives.
