Associate Director / Director – Growth & Strategy
The Role
We are looking for a high-impact Associate Director / Director – Growth & Strategy to own a growth charter end-to-end — from setting the strategy and building the plan to personally driving execution and measurable business outcomes.

- Manage Field Force Lifecycle & Performance: Own end-to-end lifecycle management of field teams — onboarding, productivity, performance management — and run a structured review cadence with regional teams to track outcomes and unblock issues.
- Lead Cross-Functional Programs: Run cross-functional programs end-to-end (planning to delivery), partnering closely with Product, Sales, Marketing, Finance, and Ops to drive alignment and execution — often without direct authority over these teams.
- Head the Analytics Control Tower: Own the data and insight engine behind business decisions — surfacing incremental growth levers, tracking performance against plan, and presenting clear, actionable recommendations to leadership.
- Identify & Execute on Growth Opportunities: Proactively spot new growth levers, build the business case, and ensure rigorous execution through regular reviews and performance tracking across quarters.

- Startup Experience: Prior experience working in a high-growth startup or similarly fast-paced environment, with the ability to operate with ambiguity and high ownership.
- Operating Mindset: Strong bias toward execution with the ability to translate strategy into measurable business outcomes.
- Analytical Thinking: Ability to break down complex problems from first principles and use data to drive decisions.
- Cross-functional Leadership: Ability to influence and drive teams across functions without necessarily having direct reporting authority.

- Someone who thrives in ambiguity and takes complete ownership.
