Founding Growth Lead
AI Startup (seed stage)
London (4 days office, 1 remote)
£65,000 – £75,000 + equity options
At Hired By Startups, we're working with an early-stage AI company transforming how residential estate and lettings agencies operate.
Their platform is built specifically for the sector, freeing up hours agents would otherwise spend on prospecting, scheduling, deal flow, compliance, viewings and maintenance. It's already in use across some of the UK's largest agency groups. Now they're turning their attention to the SME market, which is where the real scale is.
This is the founding Growth hire. No playbook, no inherited funnel, no team in place yet. You're here to build the demand story from scratch, make this company the name agents think of first when they think about AI, and eventually build a small team behind you once the motion is working.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
If that sounds like the brief you've been waiting for, read on.
About the role
- You will define the positioning and craft the message that cuts through to busy, sceptical agents who've already been pitched a dozen overclaiming AI tools this year.
- You will build the demand engine across content, events, organic, founder-led and paid social, with real autonomy over GTM strategy as well as execution.
- You will own the funnel end-to-end, from first touch to qualified demo, handing sales a consistent, workable pipeline.
- You will get close to the customer: sitting on sales calls, talking directly to agents, and turning what you hear into campaigns and copy that actually land.
- You will measure everything you build, know what's working and why, and act on it.
- You will hire and develop a small team once the playbook is proven and the motion is repeatable.

About you
- You've built growth from scratch before, not just optimised an existing funnel.
- You're comfortable being the person who writes the copy, sets the strategy, and runs the campaigns, not the person who manages the agency that does.
- You understand how to reach and convert a sceptical, time-poor B2B audience.
- You're analytical enough to know what's working and why, and you act on it quickly.
- You're excited by a pre-commercial stage, not deterred by it. The absence of a written playbook is the point, not the problem.
- Familiarity with the property sector is a plus, not a requirement.
Compensation
