Reports to: Founder (with close collaboration with Managing Director & Chief of Staff)

We are a growth partner agency for forward-thinking, mission-driven brands. We advise C-Suite leaders on holistic growth strategy while deeply integrating with their in-house marketing, product, and sales teams to help them scale with purpose.

We specialise in working with early-stage startups and scale-ups in sectors like Climate Tech, HRTech, Health Tech, Fin Tech, EdTech, Insur Tech, and AI, as well as other values-led brands across the UK, US, and Europe.

We care deeply about alignment, quality, and empathy. The people who thrive here think like founders, take ownership, and make things happen.

You’re an early-career operator who loves making complex things simple, and big ideas executable. You’re obsessed with clarity, follow-through, and making sure nothing “falls between the cracks.”

You’re excited by sales, marketing, GTM strategy, and the inner workings of a growing company. You like building systems as much as you like getting things done day-to-day. You’re happy being behind the scenes, making sure the Founder is in the right place, with the right information, doing the right work.

You’re not scared of spreadsheets, CRMs, transcripts, or messy pipelines. In fact, you like turning chaos into clean boards, clear priorities, and simple checklists.

Role Focus

This is a high-exposure execution role where you’ll act as the Founder’s force multiplier — with a special focus on:

• Sales & Marketing Operations
• Executive Function (C-Suite Enablement)

You’ll sit at the heart of our GTM engine, helping build and run the systems that will take us to £1M ARR in 2026.

This role is perfect for someone who wants to learn GTM, agency operations, sales, and strategy by working directly with the Founder, Managing Director (MD), and Chief of Staff (CoS).

You will ensure that:

• Sales + Marketing workflows are organised, clear, and consistently followed
• The Founder arrives to every external meeting prepared, and leaves every meeting with structured follow-ups
• Outreach, nurturing, and pipeline hygiene are maintained
• Marketing assets and content are created, organised, and ope rationalised
• No lead, insight, or next step is ever lost
• Founder time is spent on high-value work, not admin or friction tasks

Role Duties & Responsibilities

• Manage pipeline hygiene and CRM updates (with Founder/MD oversight)
• Extract insights and next steps from sales call recordings and transcripts
• Draft follow-up emails, proposals, and call recaps for Founder to review
• Prepare agendas and background research for all external meetings
• Track where every prospect is in the funnel and what’s needed next
• Support outbound prospecting (research, light list building, campaign coordination)
• Maintain simple dashboards/views for the Founder + SLT in
• Draft outlines for blog posts, Linked In content, newsletters, and podcast episodes
• Prepare Founder content by interpreting voice notes or transcripts
• Coordinate asset production with internal/external creators
• Maintain simple marketing calendars and ensure consistent output
• Research audiences, competitors, and sector trends
• Support Founder’s Linked In/industry visibility and brand-building initiatives
• Attend key meetings or review call recordings to capture details
• Turn raw Founder thinking into structured briefs, one-pagers, and action lists
• Maintain the Founder Action Register as the single source of truth
• Produce Thursday end-of-week summaries + lightweight BI repo
• Keep Notion/other SaaS systems up to date so the Founder has clarity on pipeline, priorities, and progress
• Prepare information for Monday leadership meetings (GTM metrics, pipeline headlines)
• Handle “friction tasks” that slow the Founder down (gathering info, summarising data, coordinating next steps)
• Provide MD and CoS with clear context from the Founder
• Prepare meeting notes, summaries, and decision logs for leadership reviews
• Ensure communication between Founder → Ops remains tight and consistent
• Help keep everyone aligned to the £1M…
