Head of Growth Location: Remote (LATAM-based) · US-hours overlap Type: Full-time · Founding role Reports to: Founder About Forward IQ Forward IQ builds outbound systems for independent freight forwarders — cold email, LinkedIn, and content engines that replace "referrals and luck" with a real, predictable pipeline. We're founder-led, operator-built, and growing. The offer is proven and the systems already work — our biggest opportunity now is pouring fuel on the top of the funnel. We're making our first dedicated growth hire to own demand generation and audience growth. The Role Right now, the founder creates all the content and drives all the growth personally and it works (it's our single strongest source of closed deals). This role takes that engine and scales it. You'll own content strategy, audience growth, and the channels that fill the top of the funnel, including our newsletter, The Modern Forwarder . This is a founding seat. You're building the growth function, not maintaining someone else's.
