Senior Strategic Growth Partner
AI Acquisition · New York, New York, United States · 2026-08-25
About this role
The Role
This is a senior client-facing role for someone who wants to operate at the intersection of strategy, growth, sales, and execution.
You will work directly with founders and business owners, understand their business in depth, identify what is holding growth back, and help them decide what to do next.
You are not here to simply manage a relationship.
You are here to become a trusted partner in the growth of the business.
That means understanding the client's goals, offer, market, acquisition strategy, sales process, delivery model, current constraints, and commercial priorities - then helping them turn that into a clear plan of action.
In some conversations, you will be helping a founder sharpen their positioning.
In others, you will be diagnosing why pipeline is weak, why sales are not converting, why execution is stalling, or where the next growth opportunity sits.
Your job is to create clarity. To tell clients what matters now. To show them what needs to happen next. And to make sure the right actions actually happen.
This is not a traditional Customer Success role.
It is a role for someone who wants to become an exceptional commercial operator by working closely with ambitious founders and helping them solve real business problems.
The Opportunity
You will have exposure to a large number of businesses, markets, offers, sales models, and growth challenges.
That creates an unusually steep learning curve.
Instead of spending years inside one company solving one set of problems, you will see patterns across dozens of businesses and develop the judgment to quickly understand:
• What is actually holding growth back
• What is noise and what matters
• Where the highest-leverage opportunity is
• What the founder should focus on now
• What should be stopped
• What should be doubled down on
• How strategy should translate into execution
Over time, the expectation is that clients see you as someone whose judgment they trust.
Someone who can walk into a complicated situation, understand it quickly, simplify it, and give them a clear direction forward.
If you want to build serious capability in growth strategy, founder communication, sales, operations, and commercial decision-making, this role gives you the environment to do it.
What You Will Own
Become a True Growth Partner to Clients
You will work closely with founders to understand the business beyond surface-level account updates.
You will build a clear picture of:
• Their business model
• Target market
• ICP
• Offer
• Pricing
• Positioning
• Acquisition channels
• Sales process
• Current pipeline
• Delivery model
• Team capacity
• Growth goals
• Immediate constraints
From there, you will help determine the highest-priority actions required to move the business forward.
Advise, Don't Just Support
We are not looking for someone who simply responds to questions.
We want someone capable of leading the thinking.
You should be comfortable saying:
"This is the problem I think we need to solve first."
"This is where I think you're focusing on the wrong thing."
"This is the strategy I would recommend."
"This is what I would do over the next 30 days."
"This is what needs to happen before we scale."
You will challenge clients when needed, simplify decisions, and help them avoid wasting time on low-leverage work.
Your value comes from your judgment, not just your responsiveness.
Turn Strategy Into Action
Good advice without execution is useless.
Every strategic conversation should translate into clear priorities.
You will help clients move from broad goals to focused execution:
• Define the objective
• Identify the constraint
• Decide the strategy
• Break it into clear actions
• Assign ownership
• Set timelines
• Review what happened
• Adjust based on results
You should naturally reduce complexity rather than add to it.
If a client has fifteen things they could be doing, your job is often to help them identify the two or three that actually matter.
Help Clients Build Revenue
You will think commercially.
That means understanding the complete journey from market to revenue:
Positioning → Acquisition → Conversations → Pipeline → Sales → Revenue → Delivery → Expansion
You will help clients understand where that journey is breaking down.
For example:
If acquisition is weak, you investigate the offer, market, message, and channel.
If leads are coming in but deals are not closing, you look at qualification, sales process, follow-up, positioning, and pricing.
If sales are happening but delivery is becoming difficult, you help identify what needs to change operationally.
You should be comfortable moving across the business rather than treating growth as a single function.
Work Across Growth Channels
Depending on the client, you may be advising across areas such as:
• Cold email
• Outbound
• Paid acquisition
• Offer development
• ICP and positioning
• Lead generation
• CRM and pipeline
• Sales process
• Follow-up
• Proposal strategy
• Pricing
• Go-to-market
• Operational priorities
• AI implementation and services
You do not need to personally be the world's best practitioner in every function.
You do need enough commercial understanding to identify what is working, what is not, ask the right questions, and make good strategic recommendations.
Lead High-Level Client Conversations
You will spend significant time speaking directly with founders and senior operators.
These are not scripted check-ins.
The conversations should be valuable enough that a founder would pay for the thinking itself.
You will:
• Review business performance
• Analyse what has changed
• Identify opportunities
• Diagnose problems
• Challenge assumptions
• Set priorities
• Recommend strategy
• Help unblock decisions
• Create accountability
• Keep momentum high
The standard is not whether the meeting happened.
The standard is whether the meeting changed what happens next.
