Job Overview

We’re looking for a commercially-driven Head of Growth to own and scale Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) for Companion, an award-winning influencer marketing platform.

This is a full-funnel role with a single objective: build predictable, compounding MRR. You will be responsible for generating pipeline, closing revenue, and driving net revenue retention through Sales and Client Success.

This is a hands-on role, with an expectation to prove a repeatable commercial model, then scale it through team growth.

You’ll work closely with Marketing and Product to refine how we acquire, convert, and grow customers.

Companion recently won Best Influencer Platform at the Global Influencer Marketing Awards.

• Own performance across the funnel from qualified opportunity to closed revenue

• Develop compelling commercial narratives, pricing strategies, and negotiation approaches

2. Building a Repeatable Revenue Engine

• Build and scale a high-quality pipeline, owning pipeline generation strategy in partnership with Marketing

• Improve conversion rates across the funnel (lead → opportunity → closed)

• Define and optimise key growth metrics (pipeline coverage, win rates, sales cycles)

3. Scaling Through Team & Hiring

• Build a repeatable commercial model by scaling proven approaches across the team and hiring to extend and accelerate growth

• Lead and develop the Sales team, ensuring consistent target attainment

• Implement clear sales processes, forecasting discipline, and CRM hygiene

• Coach team members on deal strategy, stakeholder management, and closing

4. Owning Retention & Expansion Outcomes

• Own MRR growth across new business and existing customers, including NRR, churn, and expansion

• Lead the Client Success function (via the CS team) to deliver strong customer outcomes

• Identify and scale upsell and cross-sell opportunities

• Use data and customer insight to address churn drivers and improve retention strategy

5. Go-to-Market & Growth Strategy

• Own go-to-market execution, working closely with Marketing and Product

• Refine positioning, pricing, and packaging based on market feedback

• Feed customer and market insight into product development and roadmap

What Success Looks Like (6–12 Months)

• Consistently hitting or exceeding MRR growth targets

• A predictable pipeline with strong conversion rates and clear forecasting

• A repeatable sales model that can be taught, measured, and scaled

• Early hires in Sales performing against targets

• Improved net revenue retention, with clear levers for expansion and churn reduction

Job Requirements

• 7+ years in commercial, sales, or growth roles (SaaS, MarTech, or influencer ecosystem preferred)

• Proven track record of owning and scaling recurring revenue (MRR/ARR)

• Strong closer with experience landing mid-to-large deals

• Experience building or scaling sales teams and processes

• Understanding of full-funnel growth (acquisition, conversion, retention)

• Highly commercial, data-driven, and comfortable operating in a fast-moving environment

• Strong communication, negotiation, and stakeholder management skills

Nice to Have
