Head of Growth, Stanley

💡Our Mission: Empower anyone to make money working for themselves.

Stan is the Shopify for Content Creators, empowering anyone to make a living working for themselves on the internet.

We help anyone build distribution for themselves (create content, build an audience, drive leads through Stanley, our AI Content Agent), and then convert that into a real, sustainable business (Stan Store).

We're a mission-driven team of high-performers backed by the best VCs (Forerunner, Pear, and Norwest) and angel investors (Steven Bartlett, GaryVee, The Hormozis, and Michael Ovitz).

We help the internet’s biggest Creators build their businesses so they can spend their time doing what they love: Creating. Over the past 5 years, we’ve scaled from $0 to $40M+ ARR—and done so profitably.

If you’re excited about working with the very best, rigorous execution, and empowering millions of entrepreneurs to build their dream, we’d love to have you join us.

In today's world, Distribution is the new Differentiation.

Every Entrepreneur, Executive, and Creator is racing to build their personal brand - but very few know how.

We built Stanley to solve that.

Stanley is an an entire $1M content team in your pocket. AI-powered content system He helps any Founder or Creator generate high-performing content in their authentic voice. On average, customers using Stanley are generating 50% better engagement in their first month.

But we believe the opportunity is significantly larger ($10BN+), and we're looking for the right growth leader to help us get him there.

We’re hiring a Head of Growth to build the growth engine that scales Stanley into a category-defining business.

You’ll begin as a builder.

Over time, you’ll become the leader responsible for one of the most important functions in the company.
