This role is for one of our portfolio companies, not internally at Airtree. Your application will be reviewed by the founder, not an Airtree employee.
Airtree has recently invested in a stealth-mode startup on a mission to elevate how business leaders activate and nurture their most valuable asset: relationships. With an MVP already live and three accomplished founders in place, the company is now seeking a Founding Growth Lead to craft and execute its go-to-market strategy, alongside one of the co-founders/CEO. This is a rare ground-floor opportunity to shape marketing, partnerships, and growth experiments from day one.
The team are based in Sydney, with a workspace in North Sydney. It's important to be able to work and build in person.
RequirementsWhat You’ll Own
This is not a narrow role. You’ll partner directly with the founders and be responsible for:
- shipping growth experiments,
- building marketing assets, and
- bringing our first distribution motions to life.
You’ll have say in shaping strategy, systems, and brand.
Early initiatives:
- Launches
- Growth experiments
- Positioning and Copy
- Editorial level content engine
- Design partner funnel
- Partnerships & VIP onboarding
- Tracking & Metrics
This is for someone who’s world-class, someone who built early before - or really wants to.
Preference:
- +2-6 years in startup ops, marketing, growth, GTM, or founder-associate roles
- Excellent writing: you know how to communicate with polish, clarity, and tone
- Able to move from blank page to live experiment in hours, not weeks
- Visual taste: unafraid of jumping into design software to create assets
- Comfortable in early-stage ambiguity, hungry for responsibility and speed
- High agency, high humility, and highly collaborative.
- Curious about how humans build enduring networks.
Bonus if:
- Messaging app or productivity tool GTM experience
- Previously managed GTM tech stacks (zapier, customer.io etc)
- Prior experience launching or growing a brand, product, or newsletter
- A true founding seat - building distribution from ground up
- Competitive Salary + meaningful equity
- Directly working with high velocity founding team obsessed with craft
- High exposure to building a premium prosumer product for top tier investors/operators
- Mentorship & community
