Key Performance Growth Leader

This is the role you've been preparing for – full control, ambitious goals, serious results, and the chance to build a $100M+ growth machine from scratch.

This is your shot to design and run the $100M+ growth engine behind a group of fast-growing industrial businesses – with global reach, direct founder access, and significant commercial impact.

You'll work closely with the founder and key leaders to drive growth across every business we own.

Serious autonomy – own the strategy, team, budget, and systems. No politics. No blockers.
Group-wide scope – across multiple businesses and their brand stack, plus holdco & founder brand.
Real ambition – a career-defining role building the machine that powers a $100M+ group.

This is not a typical 'marketing job'. It's a high-performance builder role – implementing the modern growth marketing playbook to disrupt old school industries.

This is a group-level leadership role with massive scope. You'll work across all our operating businesses plus holdco and founder brand – building a growth engine that replicates and scales across the portfolio.

You will start with:

Business 1 – fast-growing manufacturer of slurry piping systems expanding globally.
Business 2 – remote site procurement roll-up (first 2 businesses already secured).
Business 3 – technical product distribution roll-up in valves & instrumentation (upcoming).
Holdco – new holding company brand targeting key talent and owners looking to sell their business.
Founder Brand – storytelling and content to build audience & authority across multiple platforms.

Our strategy is to grow each business organically and via buying & integrating similar businesses. We will also add new business 'platforms' later and do it again (just better and faster each time).

You're here to build the growth machine – not sit in meetings.

Here's what you'll own:

Marketing strategy– 3-year growth & marketing roadmap across every business and brand.
Build the team – hire and lead A-players across growth, content, product marketing, and ops.
Brand architecture – strategy, positioning and key messaging for all brands.
Content engine – build a high-quality content production engine across all target media & platforms.
Demand gen – warm outreach, cold outreach, organic content, paid ads – tested, measured, scaled.
Funnel design – offers, lead magnets, landing pages, nurture sequences, automation, CRO.
Sales enablement – deal sequences, nurture content, and tools that lift win rates and deal velocity.
Customer marketing – programs to nurture, retain and grow share of wallet in existing accounts.
Product marketing – value proposition, segmentation, go-to-market strategy, new product ideas.
Employer brand & recruitment marketing – attract A-player talent to all group businesses.
M&A marketing – build acquisition deal flow and integrate acquired businesses fast.
Tech stack – all customer-facing systems across marketing, sales, and support.
Data & optimisation – track what matters, optimise relentlessly, double down on high ROI activities.

You're not just a 'marketer'. You're a growth expert who moves the needle.

You'd describe yourself as:

Strategic and tactical – you can design the system, and run it too.
Commercially obsessed – you live by your results (hard numbers, not fluffy cloud BS).
Direct and decisive – no pointless meetings or chit-chat, just action and outcomes.
Data-driven – you run the growth machine by the numbers, not by 'feels'.
Hungry to build – ambitious, competitive, and looking to help build an empire.

You'll have this experience:

10+ years' driving growth marketing in high-performance environments.
You've built and led high-performing internal teams (not just managing agencies).
You've probably worked for demanding founders scaling private companies (yes – those crazy types).
Ideally you've also got some good brand & content experience – you know what good looks like.
And for a unicorn, experience scaling B2B companies in complex technical sales environments.

We will also consider a Head-level role for earlier-career high-potential candidate who can grow into this Director-level role within 3 years.

This is the growth marketer's dream – serious autonomy, huge scope, full support, and a blank canvas to build a world-class operation.

Direct founder access – high trust, quick decisions, strong commitment, zero politics.
High autonomy – own the strategy, budget, team, execution, with a seat on the exec team.
Group-wide scope – across multiple businesses, plus holdco & founder brand.
Full commitment – test, measure, double-down on what works, and repeat. The mandate is clear, for high ROI activities (>10:1) the budget is effectively unlimited.
Grow global brands – own the brand stack and grow brands that dominate.
Serious challenge – be the first mover to apply modern growth marketing to sleepy old-school industries.
Build the $100m+ growth engine – build the machine that accelerates our growth.

Options include:

Perth HQ – fast decisions, real impact, and daily momentum working alongside Josh Beaver.
Hybrid – remote with 1 week/month in Perth (and open to relocate after 12 months).
