AI-Native Growth Lead
Build the growth engine for a firm that already has product-market fit, happy clients, and zero outside capital. First dedicated growth hire. Real impact. Real outcomes.
We've grown 4x on relationships alone. Now we're adding the engine.
Ignition Consultants provides fractional CFO services to growth-stage companies. We've helped 250+ clients raise over $3B in capital. Our growth has been organic — word of mouth, referrals, founders talking to founders.
That flywheel works. But we are prepared for more scale. Come build a repeatable growth engine that multiplies what's already working — without losing what makes us different.
Build the engine. Don't just run plays.
Pipeline & Demand Generation
Own the systems that generate qualified opportunities — not dependent on founders' calendars
Larger Relationships
Investor groups, family offices, PE portfolios — one conversation that opens many doors
Vendor & Partner Leverage
Turn relationships into growth partners, not just service providers
Experimentation & Learning
Test channels, messaging, approaches — with clear thesis and measurable outcomes
AI-Native Operations
Use Cursor, Claude Code, and our internal AI platform to operate like a team of 5
This role is for builders, not advisors.
You're a fit if you:
- — Have 7-15+ years in growth, GTM, or revenue leadership
- — Have investor, operator, or CFO experience — you understand finance from the inside
- — Have scaled a growth function or stepped into mess and made progress
- — Are inventive AND rigorous — experimentation with clear thesis
- — Use AI daily to increase speed and leverage
- — Want visible impact on a small team
- — Can articulate how you'd approach this — not wait to be told
This won't work if you:
- — Need big teams or big budgets to perform
- — Want predictability and defined playbooks
- — See AI as optional or intimidating
- — Prefer to advise rather than execute
- — Need someone else to tell you what to try
Built by operators, not advisors.
Win/Win/Win
Every deal, every engagement — sustainable value for all parties. Not extraction. Alignment.
Systems over heroics
Build things that work without you. No single points of failure.
Profit as proof
If it doesn't show up in outcomes, it's theater. Ideas are cheap. Results matter.
Clear over impressive
Transparency beats polish. Say what you mean.
