Head of Growth / Head of Marketing
San Francisco Bay Area (Hybrid or Onsite)
Several of our clients are actively seeking their first marketing leader or an early marketing executive to build and scale demand generation, growth, brand, product marketing, and go-to-market functions from the ground up.
We're a search firm partnering with a portfolio of venture-backed startups ranging from Seed-stage companies through post-IPO organizations.
If you've successfully built marketing in an early-stage environment and enjoy turning zero-to-one opportunities into repeatable growth engines, we'd love to connect.

- Create and optimize demand generation programs
- Lead content, product marketing, brand, and growth initiatives
- Partner closely with founders, product, sales, and customer success teams
- Establish marketing metrics, reporting, and attribution frameworks
- Experiment rapidly across paid, organic, community, partnerships, events, and AI-powered growth channels
- Build scalable systems and processes that support company growth
What We're Looking For
- 3-10+ years of experience in Growth, Marketing, Product Marketing, Demand Generation, or related functions
- Experience at venture-backed startups (Seed, Series A, Series B, or later-stage growth companies)
- Proven ability to operate in ambiguous, fast-moving environments
- Track record of building programs, teams, or functions from scratch
- Strong analytical and data-driven decision-making skills
- Familiarity with modern marketing technology and AI tools
- Comfortable working directly with founders and executive leadership
Typical Backgrounds

- Head of Marketing
- Head of Growth
- Growth Lead

- Founding Marketer
- Director of Marketing
- Director of Growth
- Product Marketing Lead
- Demand Generation Lead
- Growth Marketing Manager
Compensation
Most opportunities fall within:
- Base Salary: $150,000 – $210,000+
- Equity: Meaningful equity participation
- Additional upside varies by company and stage
Location
Candidates should be based in the San Francisco Bay Area or open to hybrid/on-site opportunities in San Francisco, or Palo Alto, Mountain View, Menlo Park, Redwood City, San Mateo, Oakland, Berkeley, or surrounding areas.
Most roles are hybrid or fully on-site in the SF Bay Area, with a few in nearby cities.
