Chief Growth Officer

Chief Growth Officer

Chicago | $350,000 base + performance bonus + meaningful equity

Chicago-based hybrid role. Applications welcome from across the US; relocation is required for candidates outside commuting distance. Regular business travel is part of the role.

I’m partnering directly with the CEO of a profitable, nine-figure consumer brand to find its next Chief Growth Officer.

This is the company’s #2 role, with a Management Board seat and a clear mandate: double revenue through sustainable, profitable growth.

The business already has an established customer base, strong momentum and a substantial DTC operation. You’ll inherit an established team and an eight-figure annual paid-media budget, with the authority to shape the next stage of growth.

For an exceptional operator ready to help lead a business, this is an opportunity worth considering a move for.

The scope

You’ll own the growth strategy across acquisition, conversion, retention and customer lifetime value—and work directly with the CEO and Board on targets, investment and company priorities.

Performance marketing is central. You’ll lead Meta, Google and paid TikTok alongside creative, influencer marketing, CRM and SEO, building one growth engine measured on incremental revenue and contribution profit.

Your remit extends well beyond advertising. You’ll partner with product, design and engineering to improve the ecommerce experience, use pricing and promotions to drive profitable demand, and strengthen repeat purchase through lifecycle marketing, personalisation and membership.

You’ll help accelerate the US business, support opportunities in new channels and develop the senior marketing team. As the CEO’s partner and #2, you’ll also contribute to strategic decisions beyond your own function.

Who we’re looking for

• You’ve scaled a consumer DTC business profitably and personally owned tens of millions of dollars in annual acquisition spend.
• You know Meta and Google deeply. You can go into campaigns, creative and conversion data, identify what needs to change and help your team execute it. You understand CAC, LTV, incrementality and contribution margin—and use them to make commercial decisions.
• You’ve led teams across multiple disciplines, built a culture of testing and accountability, and earned the trust of a founder, CEO or Board.
• You could already be a CGO or CMO, or an outstanding VP or Head of Growth ready for broader executive responsibility. Your title matters less than your track record, judgement and ability to lead.
• Experience in an investor-backed business is valuable. Amazon and social commerce experience are useful additions; profitable DTC acquisition is the core requirement.

Why this role

A profitable business with momentum and a clear growth ambition. Direct access to the CEO and Board. An established team, substantial investment and the authority to make meaningful decisions.

You’ll have a Management Board seat, up to $350,000 annual base salary, a generous performance bonus and meaningful equity participation in the value you help create.

The role is based in the new Chicago office on a hybrid 4 day per week in-office basis. We welcome candidates nationwide who are prepared to relocate for the right opportunity.
