Head of Growth

Company Overview

Connexus Career Strategies offers people-focused, evidence-informed career coaching and planning for high school students, college students, recent graduates, and professionals in transition. The goal is to help clients move forward with clarity and confidence.

The company’s philosophy is built on two core ideas: first, every recommendation is shaped by carefully selected coaches, with an acceptance rate below 7% of applicants; second, the proprietary PathwayEQ™ tool is used to create a clearer career roadmap and support decision-making.

As the business scales and expands its client acquisition efforts, the team is looking for a growth leader who can help drive the next stage of expansion.

Role Summary

The Head of Growth will lead the strategy and execution needed to grow Connexus Career Strategies’ reach and revenue. Reporting to the Founder, this person will own the approach for expanding the company’s data-backed planning services and premium coaching offerings to a wider audience of students, recent graduates, and working professionals across the country.

This is a high-impact role for someone who enjoys building from the ground up, moving quickly, and working in an entrepreneurial environment. Compensation begins as equity-based and is intended to move into a competitive salary-plus-bonus model once growth milestones are met.

Responsibilities

The role combines strategy, execution, and optimization across multiple growth areas:

• Design, test, and scale acquisition channels for both direct-to-consumer and business partnership growth.
• Plan and run go-to-market initiatives that strengthen brand visibility and improve return on investment.
• Lead lead-generation efforts that turn inbound interest into committed, long-term clients.
• Set key performance indicators, monitor growth metrics, and use analytics to improve acquisition and conversion performance.
• Build repeatable growth systems and funnels that support consistent user acquisition.
• Identify, approach, and develop partnerships with organizations, professional groups, and business clients to broaden the company’s reach.
• Prepare financial growth summaries and use them to guide strategic decisions.

Requirements

• Background in strategic marketing, growth, user acquisition, business development, or related work, preferably in a startup, education, or professional services setting.
• Comfort working with data to build projections, assess performance, and guide growth decisions.
• Ability to think both strategically and analytically, with a strong grasp of business and revenue metrics.
• Self-driven, adaptable, and able to operate effectively in uncertainty.
• Strong motivation to help build a company at an early stage and contribute to long-term upside.
• Genuine interest in career empowerment, mentorship, and meaningful client relationships.

Additional Information

This is not a conventional full-time role at the outset. Exact hours, scheduling, and operational details will be determined after hiring so both sides are aligned as the company grows.

Compensation

Initial pay is equity-based. As the company reaches growth targets, the compensation structure is expected to transition into a competitive salary with bonus potential.
