Head of Ecommerce Growth

Role Overview

The Head of Growth is responsible for building and leading Hadley Designs’ next phase of profitable growth, developing a repeatable demand generation engine that can scale our business from $25 million to $100 million and beyond.

What You Will Do

This is a hands-on growth leadership role that combines strategic thinking, financial accountability, and cross-functional execution. The Head of Growth will connect the dots between existing specialists across creative, paid media, ecommerce, affiliates, and analytics, aligning priorities, coordinating execution, removing bottlenecks, and ensuring growth initiatives deliver measurable results.

Why It Might Be a Fit

The Head of Growth must be willing to challenge existing strategies, stop underperforming initiatives, and redirect resources toward higher potential opportunities. They will take ownership of growth initiatives from strategy through execution, without relying on the CEO to drive every decision.
