Growth Manager

ABOUT AVOCA Avoca is transforming how home service companies engage with their customers. Our AI-powered conversational agents handle every high-value inbound call, from booking jobs, qualifying leads, and driving higher revenue, all at a speed and consistency unmatched by human call centers. We're a Series B startup backed by Kleiner Perkins, Meritech Capital, General Catalyst, and other top-tier investors, with $125M raised and a $1B valuation. We grew 10x in 2025 and have scaled to 130+ employees in under two years across our NYC headquarters and Santa Barbara office. In a $1T+ market where 85% of missed calls go to competitors, we're building the category-defining platform for AI-driven customer engagement, serving the largest brands in home services. With high-energy, in-office teams in both locations, every hire here has an immediate and visible impact. ABOUT THE ROLE We're hiring a Growth Manager to find, build, and scale new ways for Avoca to reach the market. Avoca plays in a relationship-driven industry, and ecosystem partnerships are a major revenue driver. This is a growth-hacker role with a revenue goal and a generalist mindset: part relationship builder, part operator, part builder who uses AI to do the work of a much larger team. You'll go after high-leverage channels, starting with the industry networks and peer groups where thousands of operators make buying decisions together, and expanding into whatever motions move the number. You'll design experiments, build the systems and automations to run them, and turn what works into a repeatable engine. The scope is wide and the whitespace is real. We're looking for a genuinely smart, high-agency person who builds their own leverage. You'll report directly to the Head of Partnerships and work closely with leadership on our highest-priority growth bets. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Own high-leverage growth channels end to end, starting with major industry networks and peer groups - Build and maintain the relationships that unlock these channels, and turn them into measurable pipeline and revenue - Use AI and automation aggressively to run more experiments, reach more people, and operate at a scale a traditional hire couldn't - Design, run, and measure growth experiments, then productionize what works into repeatable systems - Own your numbers and report clearly on what's working, what isn't, and where to double down WHAT YOU'LL BRING - 3-6 years in growth, strategy, consulting, banking, or another demanding, analytical role - Exceptional relationship skills, people trust you and want to work with you quickly - Genuine horsepower: you learn fast, think from first principles, and figure out hard problems without a template - Fluency with AI tools and a bias for automating anything repetitive, you'd rather build a system than do the same thing twice - High agency and a builder's mentality: you create your own leverage and move without waiting to be told - Strong communication, written and verbal, with both operators and executives - Bonus points: A track record of building something from zero, a company, a product, a channel, or a scaled process WHO YOU ARE - You're a builder who gets energized from building relationships, owning a number, and finding leverage others miss - You don't need a playbook or an industry pedigree, you create clarity where none exists - You work hard because you have a high standard for yourself: you want to own outcomes, carry a number, and prove out models the company can scale - You're equally comfortable charming a room and wiring up an automation behind the scenes - You want to be in-office in NYC, surrounded by people who move fast and hold themselves to a high standard BENEFITS - Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision insurance - Company-sponsored 401(k) through Vestwell - Flexible PTO plus U.S. federal holidays - Company-wide off-sites - Daily in-office lunch through Parkday - Dinner covered when working late - Commuter benefits and late-night…
