Founding Head of Growth

What we do & why

Cold outbound is collapsing - and the way sales has been done for decades is being dragged along with it. AI & automation have made sending emails free & easy, which means everyone’s inbox is now full of garbage. In this world, relationships become exponentially more important.

Because who you know dictates who you can sell to.

Draftboard is the world’s first autonomous warm-intro engine - it identifies who in your network is best positioned to make an intro to your prospects. And early users are already telling us it’s the most effective outreach tool they’ve ever used.

The spark is there. Now we need someone who can turn it into a repeatable, scalable growth machine.

This is our first - our founding - growth hire. You’ll work directly with the founder, own the full growth stack, and be responsible for finding - and scaling - the channels that actually drive pipeline.

What you’ll own

Build a repeatable, scalable acquisition engine to drive the adoption of warm intros as the new default GTM motion.

You will:

• Rapid-test channels: LinkedIn content & distribution, influencer partnerships, founder-led amplification, targeted warm-intro campaigns, paid experiments, events, podcasts, SEO/GEO, etc.
• Throw away 80% of tests. Double down on the 20% that move the needle.
• Treat Draftboard as your personal superpower - dogfood the hell out of it and turn your learnings into growth loops.
• Build and maintain a lightweight growth operating system: analytics, dashboards, funnels, and simple attribution that guides decisions.
• Help define messaging + positioning as the category gets created in real time.
• Turn early spark → predictable top-of-funnel → repeatable engine.

Your job is not to “run campaigns.”

Your job is to find the channels that work - and scale them ruthlessly.

Who you are

• 4–8 years in growth or GTM at an early-stage startup (<40 people)
• You were probably an early growth/marketing hire before - now you want to run the show
• You operate with speed and resourcefulness; you don’t wait for perfect data
• You think in experiments, not opinions
• You're comfortable with AI workflows, no code tools, analytics, and whatever else you need to get things done
• You know how to get scrappy results while building the foundation for scale
• You thrive in ambiguity and genuinely want ownership, not permission

This job will stretch your comfort zone.

It will be career-defining if you’re the right person.

Why Draftboard

Because this is the moment. We just launched our warm-intro engine, and the early traction signals are unmistakable. The product works. Users love it. The category is wide open.

You’ll own growth at the exact point the company is breaking out - with huge surface area, zero bureaucracy, and the chance to build the playbook for a category that’s emerging right now.

We’re backed by Twelve Below, Founder Collective, Ground Up, Animo, and founders of Handy, Alma, Accrue, Dispatch, Vivian Health, B12, Lev, Fondue, Sense360, BackEngine and more.

We’re not tourists here. Draftboard is v2 of our company - we’ve already lived the pain of the wrong product and pivoted. This version is working. Your job is to scale it.
