About Us

In House Growth Studio is a performance-driven growth agency for fast-scaling DTC brands. We've helped scale brands to 8 and 9 figure run rates inside 12 months, with deep work in health, wellness, supplements, telehealth, and subscription DTC.

Today we run a tight portfolio of DTC brands each spending ~$100K–$2M monthly media spend, mostly on Google and YouTube, with the team being built right now to expand into Paid Social, CRO, and full-funnel attribution over the next 6-12 months.

About the Role

We're building a senior leadership layer at IHGS and hiring one Senior Growth Strategist to come run their own book with full strategic ownership. Base salary plus 20% profit share on the book you run - modeled after how law firms structure partners to give significant financial upside.

If you've been a senior strategist, account director, or head of growth at another DTC agency and you're tired of managing more accounts for marginal pay bumps without a path to ownership this is built for you.

You won't be thrown in the deep end. You'll start as senior partner on the existing accounts, transition to primary lead over 90 days, with the founder remaining exec sponsor on the client relationships indefinitely.

What You'll Do

• Own DTC client relationships as the senior strategist on the account
• Run weekly performance syncs, monthly strategic reviews, and quarterly planning
• Architect the expansion from Google/YouTube into full funnel: Meta, CRO, and attribution
• Stay hands-on enough to jump into accounts, write briefs, or pressure-test the work
• Partner with and help shape the execution team coming online in parallel (additional media buyers, frontend/CRO designer, performance creative strategist)
• Identify scaling opportunities, propose tests, drive scope expansion
• Optional: bring your own clients with you - 20% profit share applies

How the Transition Works (Days 1–90)

• Days 1–30 — Embedded. Onboarded into all current accounts as the new senior strategist. Reads every weekly brief. Joins every client call. Owns Slack first-response.
• Days 31–60 — Co-leading. Owns weekly syncs. Drives strategic conversations. Founder drops into monthly reviews and exec moments only.
• Days 61–90 — Primary. Full ownership of the book. Founder is exec sponsor.

The handoff is staged and explicit - both with you and with the clients.

What We're Looking For

• 5+ years scaling DTC / consumer brands, mostly agency-side
• Currently a senior strategist, account director, or head of growth at a DTC-focused agency
• Deep paid media expertise - comfortable jumping into Google or Meta accounts to diagnose what's actually happening, not just review reports
• Strong client-facing skills - comfortable presenting to founders and executive teams
• Entrepreneurial mindset - wants to operate like a partner, not a manager
• Excellent written communication (briefs, strategy docs, client updates)
• US-based, East Coast preferred (Austin, TX also acceptable for time zone overlap)

Nice to Have

• Network of DTC founders, operators, or potential clients
• Vertical experience in health, wellness, supplements, telehealth, or subscription DTC
• Familiarity with Northbeam, Triple Whale, Prescient, Rockerbox, or similar attribution stacks
• AI-first mindset. Familiarity with, and genuine eagerness to learn. We're an AI-first team building internal systems
• Hands-on experience with Replo, advertorials, or performance publisher sites
• Background in performance creative or creative strategy

Compensation

• Base salary: $110K–$120K (commensurate with experience)
• Profit share: 20% of net profit on the book you run.
• On new clients (signed by you or sourced via IHGS): kicks in immediately upon client start.
• On the existing book inherited from IHGS: kicks in after Day 90, contingent on a successful transition (clients formally signed off on the handoff). Modeled after firm-partner buy-in — the upside is real, the path is earned.
• Y1 realistic total comp: $140K–$170K. Y2 target: $200K+. Uncapped from there.
• Performance bonuses on scope expansion and new client signings
• Equity conversation after the first full year, contingent on book performance
• Fully remote with flexible hours, & unlimited PTO

If you sign new clients into IHGS (your network, your inbound, your referrals), the 20% profit share applies to those accounts from day one. You bring the relationship, we bring the team, infrastructure, and brand. You don't run it alone, and you keep the share.
