This is a senior commercial leadership role with significant matrix complexity. The Head of Growth orchestrates field agents, platform partnerships, OEM channels, and community referrals; and coordinates with peer functions across Marketing, Customer Success, Risk, and Operations. The role suits a senior operator who thrives on aggregate accountability and cross-functional leverage in a fast-scaling business.
- Own the country's aggregate lead pipeline as a single accountable number — across every input channel, including those operated by peer functions.
- Set and manage the country channel mix across field, partner, community, and digital channels — calibrating the blend to deliver volume, quality, and cost efficiency.
- Diagnose drop-offs across the full acquisition funnel and direct corrective action to keep monthly deployment on plan.
- Manage channel performance with peer functions on committed volumes, and lead recovery action when commitments are at risk.
- Own commercial relationships with key acquisition partners — including ride-hailing platforms, delivery platforms, and dealer or showroom partnerships.
- Lead OEM channel engagement on co-marketing and dealer activation across Gamma's vehicle portfolio.
- Own the country conversion engine — turning qualified leads into signed, vehicle-ready customers at scale.
- Drive conversion rate from qualified lead to signed customer; diagnose and address drop-off by source and city.
- Own Training & Onboarding across all cities — induction throughput, training quality, and time-to-handover.
- Deliver captains who are fully trained, onboarded, and vehicle-ready at handover — the point at which the customer transitions into city-level operations.
- Own lead quality as a Growth accountability — measured by how leads perform through evaluation, conversion, and into early cohort outcomes.
- Manage channel mix to deliver not only volume but cohorts that perform against underwritten expectations.
- Partner with Risk on the feedback loop between source-level lead quality and cohort outcomes — separating quality issues attributable to channel and source from those attributable to credit policy.
- Hold Growth's lane in the country's cohort-quality conversation — bringing source and channel evidence to senior portfolio reviews.
- Own the country growth dashboard — pipeline by source, conversion by stage, training throughput, handover readiness, and cohort quality follow-through.
- Build the analytics function that powers Growth's decision-making — funnel diagnostics, lead quality reporting by source, and senior forum inputs.
- Instrument source-level and channel-level data to enable real-time diagnosis rather than month-end post-mortem.
- Bring evidence-based judgement to senior growth conversations, translating funnel data into clear decisions and trade-offs.
- Build and lead a senior Growth team across acquisition, conversion, training and onboarding, partnerships, and analytics — setting the bar for talent, performance, and accountability across the function.
- Cultivate a culture that is direct, data-driven, and accountable to aggregate outcomes rather than channel-level alibis — where peer functions are partners to be coordinated, not obstacles to be blamed.
- Operate as a credible peer to other country Heads — chairing forums, navigating trade-offs, and bringing structured judgement to senior decisions.
- Represent Growth at the Country Manager and senior leadership level — translating funnel realities into strategic recommendations and shaping the company's growth trajectory.
RequirementsRequirements
- Master's degree in Business Administration, Marketing, Economics, or a related field.
- 10+ years of progressive commercial experience, with at least 5 years in a senior role accountable for multi-channel customer acquisition at scale — ideally in gig economy, mobility, fintech, asset finance, ride-hailing, last-mile logistics, or large-scale distribution within African markets.
- Demonstrated track record of building and running multi-channel acquisition operations — across field, partner, referral, and digital channels.
- Direct experience operating in a matrix structure across multiple cities, where execution runs through local leaders not under direct line management.
- Proven experience leading senior functional managers — hiring, coaching, developing, and where necessary replacing them.
- Demonstrated ability to be held to an aggregate outcome while depending on peer functions for inputs, and to manage those peer relationships through structured contracts and forums.
- Experience working with OEM and platform partners in commercial channel relationships strongly preferred.
- Experience standing up new commercial functions from zero strongly preferred.
- Multi-channel acquisition fluency, with the judgement to calibrate volume, quality, and cost across field, partner, community, and digital channels.
- Funnel and data discipline with an ability to read conversion data critically and diagnose drop-offs before they surface as missed targets.
- Leads peer functions and senior forums through structured judgement, not line control displaying influence without authority
- Comfortable being measured on a number whose inputs are partly outside direct control.
- Quality-versus-volume judgement, with the conviction to resist growth pressure when channel mix risks downstream cohort health.
- Has the capability to drive difficult conversations while holding peers, partners, and direct reports to standard with clarity and respect.
- Structured thinking and writing and displays a sharp ability to translate complex commercial trade-offs into clear, well-argued decisions.
