Chief Venture Growth Officer

About the Role GrowthJockey is building an AI-native, full-stack venture creation institution that unifies strategy, product, technology, design, digital growth, commerce, operations and capital discipline. The CVGO will work directly with the Founder, executive leadership, promoters, investors and enterprise partners to build ventures that win in the market — and to convert founder-led capability into a repeatable institutional system.

This is a founding mandate for a deeply digital business creator who can repeatedly build from 0–1, 1–10 and 10–100. It is not a general management role and not a conventional marketing leadership position.

Key Responsibilities

• Create and scale ventures — Translate market opportunities into differentiated propositions, brands, customer engines, commercial models and category leadership.
• Own venture outcomes — Carry direct accountability for venture success, revenue quality, market traction, unit economics, BU P&L, cash flow, working capital and capital productivity.
• Steward promoter and investor confidence — Engage credibly with promoters, investors and boards; align ambition, milestones, risks, capital choices and performance with transparency and judgement.
• Build the digital growth engine — Integrate brand, performance, content, creative, SEO, CRM, lifecycle, analytics, D2C, marketplaces and quick commerce into one accountable business system.
• Institutionalise the chaos — Bring method, operating cadence, decision rights, playbooks, data discipline and governance to ambiguity, without reducing entrepreneurial speed.
• Build internal capability — Recruit leaders, create specialist centres of excellence, develop succession and ensure capabilities compound beyond individual founders or executives.
• Embed AI as an operating advantage — Redesign digital research, content, creative production, media, personalisation, CRM, commerce, analytics and decision workflows around AI.
• Make portfolio choices — Know when to accelerate, reposition, partner, fix or stop; allocate leadership attention and capital to maximise enterprise value.

Mandatory Digital & New-Age Capability

• Performance and digital marketing — full-funnel acquisition, media economics, experimentation, attribution, optimisation and scaling across major paid ecosystems.
• Brand building — positioning, category creation, consumer insight, communication architecture and sustained brand-equity development, not only campaign execution.
  
• Content and creative systems — strategy, storytelling, high-velocity production, creative testing, channel-native formats and measurable creative effectiveness.
• CRM and lifecycle growth — segmentation, journeys, lead/customer conversion, retention, loyalty, personalisation, automation and customer-value expansion.
• Analytics and commercial intelligence — funnel diagnosis, cohort and unit-economics analysis, attribution judgement, dashboards, forecasting and decision-making from imperfect data.
• Digital commerce — direct ownership across D2C, marketplaces, merchandising, pricing, promotions, catalogue, conversion, fulfilment economics and channel profitability.
• Quick commerce — practical understanding of assortment, availability, platform economics, demand shaping, dark-store/channel dynamics and rapid experimentation.
• AI in digital growth — applied use of generative AI, agents, automation, predictive systems and experimentation to improve insight, content, creative, media, CRM, commerce and productivity.
• Growth technology — fluency with modern martech, CDP/CRM, analytics, automation, commerce and experimentation stacks; able to challenge architecture and connect systems to business outcomes.

Creator Profile — Mandatory

• A repeated record of creating or scaling businesses, categories or digital commerce engines, not merely supervising agencies or mature functions.
• Enjoys pace and ambiguity; can move from first-principles strategy to weekly execution while remaining methodical, consistent and commercially rigorous.
• Builds systems, leaders and institutional memory so the organisation becomes stronger than the individual who created it.
• Can make high-quality decisions with incomplete information, sustain intensity over years and combine entrepreneurial urgency with governance.
• Willing to inspect detail personally, intervene where necessary and then codify the solution so it becomes repeatable.

Eligibility & Leadership Bar

• Education — Tier-1 B.Tech or equivalent engineering qualification (mandatory); Tier-1 MBA or equivalent management qualification (mandatory).
• Experience — Significant leadership experience with direct business, growth, commerce or venture-building accountability; exposure across multiple growth stages is essential.
• Consulting background — Tier-1 strategy or management consulting background strongly preferred, provided it is complemented by substantial operating and creation experience.
• P&L ownership — Demonstrated ownership of BU P&L, cash flow, investment choices and senior stakeholder communication.
• Stakeholder credibility — Credibility to engage founders, promoters, investors, boards, enterprise clients and high-calibre specialist teams.

Authority Founding-leadership access; meaningful influence over venture strategy, organisation design, senior hiring, resource allocation, digital operating standards and portfolio priorities.

Long-Term Value Creation Executive remuneration will be paired with a meaningful long-term ownership opportunity, aligned to scope, sustained contribution and institution-building impact.

What Success Will Mean

• Ventures achieve durable market traction, improving economics, capital discipline and credible paths to category leadership.
• Promoters and investors experience clear strategy, transparent governance, decisive execution and dependable leadership.
• GrowthJockey develops a world-class digital, commerce and AI capability that can scale several ventures simultaneously.
• High-calibre leaders, playbooks, data systems and operating cadences reduce founder dependency and compound across the portfolio.
• The CVGO becomes one of the principal architects of GrowthJockeys next decade and the long-term enterprise value it creates.
