______________________________________________________________________
Role: Growth Marketer and Project Manager
Priority Location: South Africa
Working Hours: 6AM - 2PM EST (Mon - Fri)
Salary Range: $1700 - $2000 base USD ($) per month (The final offer is at the client's discretion and depends on the candidate's interview result, skills, and experience.)
Type of contract: Independent Contractor
Type of job: Remote
About the Company:
The Company is a leadership accelerator and community built exclusively for VP and C-level leaders in private equity-backed companies. It exists because private equity is a pressure cooker: the expectations are high, the timelines are short, and most executives crave support. So we built this program to help them do three things:
Connect. The leaders in this program build deep relationships with a curated group of executives in their cohort who become trusted allies in their leadership journey.
Learn. They learn practical leadership skills and tools through workshops, simulations, coaching, and real-world application.
Lead. They learn to step up to lead themselves, their teams, and their companies with clarity, confidence, and discipline. They walk out better equipped to communicate with boards, make hard decisions, and drive value creation in their companies.
As a key part of the Company's team, you aren't just marketing and coordinating a program. You're helping build more confident, capable, head-and-heart leaders of companies backed by some of the world's most ambitious investors. You get rare exposure to senior executives, and a front-row seat to how to help them grow.
And the best part: You can't work inside a leadership accelerator without becoming a stronger leader yourself. This role will grow you just as much as you help grow them.
Why this Role Matters:
Most early-career roles ask you to wait your turn. This one won't. We are scaling a program that is shaping the next generation of PE-backed leaders, and you will be at the center of the execution, communication, and growth engine behind it. You'll operate with autonomy, responsibility, and room to stretch.
What You'll Do:
Your responsibilities fall into three core areas:
1. Program Leadership & Coordination (appx 40%). You will run the operational engine of Ascend.
Own all participant communications, logistics, and scheduling.Ensure every cohort runs smoothly, on time, and with a polished participant experience.Maintain our CRM, systems, and workflow with precision.Coordinate across the team to keep execution tight.Continuously refine and improve program systems and SOPs.2. Growth & Content Marketing (appx 40%). You will help amplify our brand, and grow our program.

Special Projects & General Support (appx 20%). You'll jump in wherever the business needs help.
Research, coordinate, troubleshoot, and execute.Support the Owner's broader PE-focused advisory work.Bring the "figure it out" energy across whatever comes up.What Success Looks Like at 6 Months:
You're independently running all executional aspects of Ascend.Every participant touchpoint is on time, organized, and high-quality.You manage up proactively—keeping Dan and Grift aligned and on track.Our content engine is more consistent, strategic, and effective because of you.You've built systems that tightened operations and removed friction.You've brought new marketing ideas to life and expanded the program's reach.You've become the person we trust to get things done without oversight.Who You Are:
Early/mid-career but already strong in growth or content marketing.A self-starter who takes pride in owning outcomes, not just tasks.Someone who thrives in fast-paced, builder-oriented, entrepreneurial environments.Ridiculously curious and hungry to learn—about marketing, leadership, and business.A strong writer who can match a clear, polished brand voice.Organized, detail-oriented, and obsessive about executional discipline.Comfortable with ambiguity and context switching.Highly responsive and reliable in a remote setting.Comfortable working directly with senior executives.Energized by autonomy and independent problem-solving.Tools You'll Be Expected to Use:

If you crush it, this can evolve into, Head of Growth, Chief-of-Staff–style hybrid, or owner of Ascend's growth engine end-to-end
Why This Role Is Unique:
You won't find many roles where you:
Work closely with senior executives every weekHelp shape a leadership accelerator with real impactBuild both marketing and operational muscleGain ownership and autonomy earlyLearn how executives think, lead, and make decisionsDevelop your own leadership through the experienceIf you want to grow fast, build something meaningful, and play a meaningful role in scaling a leadership accelerator that is transforming how PE-backed executives lead, we'd love to meet you
