Head of Growth - AI

Head Of Growth - AI

Career Renew is recruiting for one of its clients a Head of Growth - AI - this is a hybrid position in San Francisco. Salary range: 140-220K USD base plus benefits plus equity.

Role Overview

We're looking for a Head of Growth (or strong growth IC) to own account management and growth execution across a portfolio of 8 startup accounts end to end. You'll work directly with the founders, identify what resources and tools are needed to run these accounts at scale, and build organic-led growth strategies from the ground up. This is a builder role — not a playbook executor.

What You Will Do In The First 90 Days

• Own 8 portfolio accounts end to end — think of them as 8 startup clients you're fully responsible for
• Identify the team support, budget, and tools needed to run those accounts well
• Develop a POV on what engineering should build to help scale account management
• Form your own judgment on what to automate vs. keep manual (requires real awareness of agentic tools)
• Get 8 organic-led growth strategies live — affiliates, content, and distribution

What You Will Do Ongoing

• Portfolio Management: Own growth for multiple accounts simultaneously, driving step-change results across each
• Organic Growth Execution: Build and launch affiliate and content-led campaigns that generate sustainable traction
• Growth Infrastructure: Wire up the tools, workflows, and automations needed to scale without proportionally scaling headcount
• Engineering Collaboration: Develop and communicate a POV on what to build vs. buy vs. automate
• AI-Native Operations: Use agentic tools not just to prompt, but to build workflows, wire up agents, and ship growth tooling

What We Are Looking For

• 2+ years of growth experience, pre-seed to series D
• Quantitative proof of growth impact — a portfolio or track record that shows the step change you drove
• Reputation as a top operator in your network — if we ran references, your peers would name you unprompted
• Grit: the kind of person who pushes things into existence and doesn't let work die
• AI fluency beyond prompting — evidence of building workflows, wiring up agents, or shipping tools (not just using Claude or ChatGPT)
• Experience managing multiple workstreams or accounts in parallel, not just a single growth channel
• Organic growth chops: affiliates, content, SEO/AEO, community — and the ability to build from scratch

Why you should join us?

• We've raised $5M to build agents as fully autonomous founders - not just chatbots but AI that runs entire businesses. We're backed by experienced founders and top VCs like Draper and Precursor.
• You'll join at the perfect time as we exit stealth and scale in the real world. Work directly with visionary founders on the frontier of AI and see your work have immediate visible impact on a small high-trust team.
• Unique opportunity to own growth across a portfolio of 8 startup accounts — build the playbook from scratch, shape what engineering builds, and define how AI gets used to scale.
