ABOUT THE CLIENT
Due to continued growth, we’re recruiting for a Growth Lead to join an ambitious AI technology business operating within the property sector. The business is developing innovative AI technology designed to automate operational workloads for lettings and estate agencies and is already working with pilot customers as it continues to scale.
You’ll be joining at a pivotal stage of growth as the company’s first dedicated Growth hire, with the opportunity to define how the business positions itself, reaches its target market and turns awareness into qualified pipeline.
This is a hands-on role for someone who has built growth from the ground up before. You’ll work directly with the founders and wider commercial team to establish the messaging, channels, campaigns and systems that can take the business from early traction to repeatable, scalable demand generation.
THE BENEFITS
- Salary of £60,000 – £110,000
- Generous equity opportunities
- Private health insurance
- High level of ownership across the company’s growth strategy
- Opportunity to build the growth function from the ground up
- Direct access to the founders and senior leadership team
- Freedom to test new channels, campaigns and growth ideas
- Opportunity to shape positioning, messaging and go-to-market strategy
- Direct exposure to customer feedback, sales conversations and the product roadmap
- Opportunity to make the first future hires into the Growth team
- Free dinner when working in the office after 7:30pm
THE GROWTH LEAD ROLE:
As the Growth Lead, you’ll take ownership of the company’s growth engine, building the strategy and execution required to generate consistent demand across the UK lettings and estate agency market.
You’ll begin by developing a deep understanding of the customer. You’ll spend time with estate agency owners, branch managers and property professionals, listen to sales calls and customer conversations, and turn those insights into clear positioning and messaging that resonates with the market.
From there, you’ll build and test the channels that can generate qualified pipeline. This could include content, founder-led marketing, events, partnerships, organic acquisition, outbound campaigns and paid acquisition, with responsibility for identifying what works and scaling it.
You’ll own the journey from first touch through to qualified demo, tracking performance across the funnel and using data to understand conversion, acquisition costs, payback and channel effectiveness.
This is not a role where you’ll inherit a large marketing team, agency roster or established growth playbook. You’ll be expected to build, test and execute yourself, establishing the foundations before ultimately helping build the Growth team around you.
