The Role
We are hiring a Founding Growth Executive to lead growth strategy and execution across acquisition, activation, retention, and monetisation. This is a hands-on role for someone who can translate deep research pain points into scalable growth systems.

- Drive product-led growth by improving onboarding, activation, and retention
- Build distribution through universities, labs, partnerships, and academic communities
- Create pathways from individual users to team and institutional adoption
- Track growth metrics and run experiments to inform product and positioning decisions
Who We’re Looking For
- Experience driving growth for a complex product (B2B SaaS, dev tools, education, or research-adjacent platforms)
- Ability to communicate credibly with academics and researchers
- Analytical mindset with experience running experiments and measuring outcomes
- High ownership and comfort operating in ambiguity
- Community-led growth or partnerships experience
What Success Looks Like
- Clear positioning that resonates with academic and scientific audiences
- Improved activation and retention among PhD scholars and research teams
- One or more reliable acquisition channels producing consistent growth
- Early institutional or lab-level adoption
