What to Look for in a Great Head of Growth

Hiring a Head of Growth means finding someone who blends analytical thinking with creative strategy. They should have a proven track record in scaling customer acquisition, optimising user journeys, and driving retention through data-led decisions. Look for candidates who can lead cross-functional teams, run rapid experiments, and align marketing, product, and revenue goals. Their strategic mindset and hands-on execution will be key to unlocking long-term, sustainable growth.

A strong grasp of digital tools to track media coverage, measure PR An effective Head of Growth understands how to use the product itself as a driver for acquisition, retention, and revenue. They prioritise user experience, feedback loops, and feature optimisation to fuel organic, scalable growth.

Rapid testing and iteration are core to this role. The ability to pivot strategies based on real-time data and experiment across channels is vital for identifying what drives performance and where to double down.

This role demands a strategic thinker who can design and implement multi-channel growth plans. From funnel optimisation to lifecycle marketing, they connect the dots between departments to scale impact efficiently.

A Head of Growth should be fluent in data. They must know how to extract insights, understand customer behaviour, and use metrics to guide initiatives—from budget allocation to campaign performance.

Cross-functional collaboration is essential. Whether aligning with product teams, marketers, or execs, a Head of Growth needs to rally teams around shared goals and foster a test-and-learn mindset throughout the organisation.

While they may not manage every channel hands-on, strong familiarity with paid media, SEO, email, and content strategy helps them identify the right mix and scale each lever based on ROI.
