Role Summary
We’re seeking a Managing Director / Founding Growth Lead to own customer acquisition, performance marketing, funnels, pricing, and partnerships. Think: hands-on doer + strategic owner. You’ll build the go-to-market engine and scale it.
Location: Remote (UK/EU friendly).
Commitment: Part-time to start (c. 10–20 hrs/week), with option to scale to full-time as revenue grows.
Compensation: Equity and/or Revenue Share (no base salary to start). Flexible structures below.
What you\'ll own
- Go-to-market design and execution across B2C and B2B2C.
- Funnel building in Kajabi (landing pages, offers, checkout, upsells, automations, A/B tests).
- Email & CRM: lead magnets, nurture, onboarding, lifecycle, referral/affiliate.
- Pricing & offers: bundles, trials, scholarships, seasonal promos.
What success looks like (first 6 months)
We want to make this simple and tangible:
- Build a steady stream of leads: At least 5,000 people signing up to our email list or free resources.
- Convert those leads into paying customers: Around 200 people buying the Essential course and at least 40 people buying the Premium package.
- Make marketing efficient: For every pound spent on ads, we want to earn it back within the first few months through course sales. (We work with a specialist on paid campaigns)
- Test B2B2C partnerships: Secure at least 5 schools, youth programmes, or academies to pilot the course with groups of 25–200 students.
- Set up proper systems: Clear dashboards and tracking, so we know which campaigns are working and can repeat what’s successful.
Compensation and remuneration
Because pay is equity/revenue-share based, your income grows directly with results:
- Hitting these 6-month goals would likely mean £50k–£100k gross revenue in the business.
- Depending on the option chosen (equity %, rev-share %, or hybrid), you could expect £7.5k–£25k+ personal income in that period, plus ownership in the company if equity is included.
- If you unlock the higher milestone (e.g., £20k monthly recurring revenue), your equity stake or revenue-share percentage increases, meaning your upside compounds as we scale.
- Scale = growth in sales within the UK, growth of markets (geographically) and potentially scale in our offering and products.
Must-Have Experience
- 3–7+ years in growth/performance marketing (preferably for digital products or online courses).
- Proven ability to build Kajabi (or equivalent) funnels end-to-end, including copy, creative direction, and automation.
- Familiar with paid activity through Meta & Google Ads.
- Email/lifecycle: building high-converting sequences and optimizing deliverability.
- Data-driven: desirable to model CAC/LTV, run A/B tests, and communicate insights.
- Entrepreneurial: comfortable with ambiguity, ownership, and equity/rev-share comp.
Nice to have
Education/EdTech experience; youth audience marketing; partnerships/BD; community and creator marketing.
Compensation Options
No base salary initially; we’ll agree milestones and revisit cash as revenue grows. All equity subject to standard vesting; all revenue-share subject to a written addendum defining “Net Revenue.”
- Equity: 15–25% ordinary shares or options, 4-year vesting, 1-year cliff, then monthly.
- Milestone kicker: +2–5% additional equity upon hitting agreed revenue milestones (e.g., £20k monthly gross revenue for 3 consecutive months).
- Performance bonus: Discretionary options on exceptional growth or strategic partnerships.
Option B — Hybrid (Equity + Revenue Share)
- Equity: 8–15% with 3-year vesting, 6-month cliff.
- Revenue Share: 15–25% of Net Revenue attributable to campaigns/partners you manage, paid monthly for 12 months per customer (evergreen rev-share for the first year of each customer’s lifetime).
- Net Revenue definition: Gross receipts minus payment processing/platform fees and direct attributable ad spend for that acquisition channel.
Option C — Revenue Share Only (Contractor to Start)
- Revenue Share: 20–30% of Net Revenue on all sales you source/manage for the first 12 months of each customer; no equity initially.
- Equity kicker: 5–8% added if pre-agreed milestones met within 6 months (e.g., 250+ paid customers and CAC payback ≤ 30 days).
