What does a Growth hire do?
‘Growth’ means a lot of things at an early stage startup, but here’s what you should expect.
Go-To-Market Strategy
Goes deep with founders to understand the business, industry, and customers. Uses this to build a growth strategy.
Resource Planning
Ensures that you have the right talent to execute on the GTM strategy. This may include Growth Marketing Managers, designers, BDRs, etc.
Vision Mapping
Prioritize campaigns based on your goals for the year, working against the product roadmap and investor targets.
What could my growth team look like?
No startup needs the same resources - that’s why our Heads of Growth request a variety of talent to bring their plans to fruition. Here are some examples:
Head of Growth
The lead for your team, creating strategy and managing execution.

hires their Head of Marketing
Post YC S20, Paragon needed to turn momentum into growth. Divisional helped them find product-market-fit in 4-5 months and hired their full-time Head of Growth (Brian) from our team.
makes their 1st growth hire
Patrick (CEO) went from managing an agency and several contractors, to relying on his new Head of Growth (Riley) from Divisional to lead growth strategy. In 3 months, LiveControl raised a $30M Series A and hired Riley full-time as their 1st marketing hire.
goes from idea to repeatable success
Started out of the Boundless Venture Company, Quipli had no customers and required Kyle (CEO) to wear many hats. Working with Divisional, they close 90% of their new customers through inbound channels and recently hired Pranab from our team to be their full-time Head of Growth.
