Director of Growth (US-Based, Part-Time)

This is a remote position.Director of Growth (US-Based, Part-Time)Location:United States (Remote)Type:Part-Time Contractor (target ~50% time; flexible for the right candidate)Reports To:CEO, Vulcury LLCAbout Vulcury Vulcury LLC is a venture studio and holding-company platform building and scaling multiple business lines — including Trustbridge (AI-enabled manufacturing supplier matching) and Calisade (research/investment) — alongside a growing portfolio of spinout ventures. We operate lean, with a small senior leadership team supported by a distributed team of junior specialists working under structured systems and processes.The RoleWe're looking for a Director of Growth to own demand generation end-to-end. This role is structured as part-time (targeting roughly half-time) as a matter of capital discipline at our stage — but we're open to a different arrangement for the right person. What matters most is not the hours on a calendar, but that our India-based marketing team has a consistent, engaged source of direction and does not go without leadership day to day.You'll bring 5-10 years of hands-on experience, set the standard for quality and craft, and manage a cadre of junior marketers already in place, with full ownership of the function and no layer of leadership above you other than Vulcury's President.This is a senior leadership role, not just an individual contributor position. You will both execute at a high level and manage junior team members executing under your direction, spanning the full demand generation funnel — marketing, sales oversight, and everything in between. You'll support growth needs across our core consultancy, our internal spinout ventures, and potentially client engagements as our services expand.Schedule note:Because our junior marketing team is based in India, this role requires regular, dependable overlap with India business hours — not occasional, but a standing part of the job. In practice, this means being comfortable logging on in the early morning or staying online into the late evening (US time) on a recurring basis to hold live check-ins, reviews, and coaching sessions with the team. The India team's need for consistent direction is the fixed point of this role; the exact hours structure around it can flex.CompensationWe pay market rate, prorated to the agreed time commitment, with potential equity upside for the right candidate.RequirementsWhat We're Looking For 5-10 years of marketing and/or sales experience, with demonstrated ability to manage people and not just campaigns or accounts Experience owning both marketing execution and sales pipeline oversight — a true full-funnel operator Experience in B2B strongly preferred Background or genuine fluency in one or more of: supply chain/manufacturing, venture studios/consulting, or finance/hedge funds — through prior work, education, or adjacent experience Proven ability to build and run demand generation operations across multiple channels simultaneously (not a single-channel specialist) Comfortable working with data — segmentation, tracking, attribution, funnel conversion — not just creative execution Strong written communication; capable of producing and reviewing blog and content work directly Able to operate with autonomy in a lean, fast-moving, AI-augmented team structure with minimal traditional middle management Willing and able to provide consistent, ongoing direction to a team on India business hours— comfortable anchoring recurring check-ins to early mornings or late evenings (US time) Nice to Have Experience marketing and selling for a holding company, venture studio, or multi-business-line organization Prior experience managing distributed or international teams, particularly across US-India time zones Familiarity with CRM/marketing automation tooling and AI-assisted workflows BenefitsWhat You'll Own Team leadership:Manage and mentor a team of junior marketers based in India — reviewing work, setting priorities, and building their skills toward independent execution Demand generation, top to bottom:Own the full funnel from awareness through pipeline to close, including: Email marketing Social media PR Website/web presence Webinars Blog writing and content strategy Sales oversight — pipeline management, conversion, and close-rate accountability Data & measurement:Own segmentation, tracking, and reporting infrastructure across all channels and the sales funnel to inform strategy and prove ROI Cross-venture support:Adapt growth strategy across different business contexts — from an early-stage venture studio/consultancy model to spinouts in supply chain/manufacturing and potentially high finance/hedge fund contexts Startup growth mindset:Bring a growth orientation suited to early-stage and scaling businesses, not just steady-state brand marketing or account management Originally posted on Himalayas
