Head Of Growth

About Scale ArmyThis is a big boy job.
You will report directly to the CEO and sit on the leadership team.
We are a staffing + AI services business. Our buyers are B2B companies with 50–200 employees and $5M+ in revenue.
Nearly all our pipeline comes from paid media. You will manage the team responsible for that engine, which is why this role matters so much.
Our leadership team is incredibly fast and analytical. That should not intimidate you.
The RoleYou are Scale Army's marketing leader. Every part of marketing reports to you: paid media, creative, conversion, brand, content, and SEO.
You'll build the team, set marketing strategy with the leadership team, and own the results. Those results are business outcomes, not platform metrics.
You'll be accountable for marketing CAC, cost per MQL and SQL, cost per meeting held, and paid pipeline quality, alongside organic traffic, rankings, and organic-sourced pipeline. We don't measure you on CTR, CPM, or cheap lead volume.
Your Responsibilities IncludeLead paid media strategy: Manage the media buyer, whether agency or in-house, rather than living in the ad account yourself. However, you must understand the account well enough to identify structural problems, including custom events and offline conversions.
Manage a multi-channel paid engine: Oversee Meta, Google, LinkedIn, and X across 2–3 product lines, with approximately $80K/month in ad spend today.
Own budget allocation and efficiency: Forecast expected returns before scaling toward $150K/month. Reallocate spend across channels, campaigns, and offers based on cost per meeting held.
Own conversion performance: Oversee the offers, lead magnets, landing pages, forms, booking and show rates, and testing roadmap that determine how paid traffic converts.
Bridge marketing and sales: Work with the sales team weekly, gather feedback on lead quality and messaging, and translate it into improvements in targeting, offers, and creative.
Support sales enablement: Give the sales team the messaging, content, and market insights they need to convert the meetings marketing generates.
Shape lead-generation strategy: Work with the leadership team to develop a strategy that serves sales, challenging ICP assumptions when the data disagrees.
Own attribution and tracking: Partner with Sales Ops on offline conversions and HubSpot attribution so both teams trust the same numbers.
Build an AI-native marketing team: Create your own dashboards, automations, and reusable agents, and establish the expectation that the team works the same way.
Lead the creative team: Set priorities, workflows, output expectations, and production speed.
Build the content function: Make hiring a Senior Content Marketing Manager one of your first priorities. This person will own thought leadership, social, video, and podcast content. You'll decide how the broader content and organic team should be structured.
Manage SEO: Direct our SEO agency and hold it accountable for organic traffic, rankings, and the pipeline it generates. You won't execute the SEO work yourself, but you'll set the direction and measure performance.
The Team You'll LeadYou’ll lead a flat team of six to eight people across four functional areas. Several positions are already filled, and you’ll shape and hire the rest.
