Vetting

How TTR vets growth marketers

Two layers of the hire

Growth judgement: ask how the person chose a channel, tested a hypothesis and interpreted results without assuming causation.

Operating ownership: agree the budget, access to data, sales handoffs and decision rights the mandate needs.

Distributed Systems Filter

Every candidate passes the Distributed Systems Filter

Every candidate TTR introduces passes the Distributed Systems Filter, across engineering and operational roles. Ask Emily Landon how the filter applies to your mandate and what evidence will be used to assess candidates.

  • Applies to every candidate TTR introduces
  • Used across operational roles as well as engineering
  • Ask Emily Landon what evidence will be used for your mandate

Who it's for

Who this search is for

For founders who need someone to own a growth motion and its measurement, rather than a general marketer responsible for everything.

  • Recently funded

    Venture-backed or early-stage companies hiring after a raise.

  • Under 50 employees preferred

    The best-fit company profile.

  • Under 200 employees maximum

    Past that size, a different search model may fit better.

  • Built for founders

    TTR runs specialist search for founders of venture-backed and early-stage companies.

Board-level mandates at established companies may suit a retained firm better. The retained search comparison sets out where that line falls.

FAQ

Questions about hiring growth marketers

Do growth and product marketing need separate hires?

Often they are distinct mandates. Growth focuses on reaching and activating customers; product marketing focuses on positioning and go-to-market clarity. See the product marketer search.

Can I discuss a Head of Growth or VP Marketing?

Yes. Bring the team, budget and decisions the leader would own so the seniority can be scoped on the intro call.
