What We Look For
The traits that define top candidates in this role
- Proven track record owning pipeline metrics and CAC targets
- Multi-channel demand generation: paid, organic, lifecycle, and ABM
- Strong analytical skills — comfortable with attribution models and cohort analysis
- Experience leading small teams and working closely with sales leadership
Why This Role Is Hard to Fill
True growth leaders who can tie strategy to revenue are rare. Most candidates have depth in one channel but not the full-funnel ownership that a Director-level role requires.
Our Approach
We evaluate growth candidates on their pipeline ownership, not just their campaign history. We dig into what they measured, what they changed, and what improved.
FAQ
Common Questions About Hiring a Director of Growth
How much does a Director of Growth make?+
Director of Growths typically earn between $130,000–$190,000 annually for direct hire positions in today's market, though compensation varies based on location, years of experience, tech stack, and company stage. Candidates in major tech hubs like San Francisco, New York, or Seattle may command salaries at the higher end of that range.
How long does it take to hire a Director of Growth?+
With CRB Workforce, most clients receive their first qualified slate of Director of Growth candidates within 5–10 business days. The full time-to-offer typically runs 3–6 weeks depending on your interview process and how quickly stakeholders are available. We actively manage scheduling and follow-up to keep momentum.
When should I hire a Director of Growth full-time vs. on contract?+
Direct hire makes sense when you need a Director of Growth long-term, want them invested in your culture and roadmap, and can offer competitive equity or benefits. Contract works better when you need immediate capacity for a defined project, want to evaluate someone before committing, or need to keep headcount flexible. CRB can help with both — and contract-to-hire is always an option if you want a built-in trial period.
What's the biggest mistake companies make when hiring a Director of Growth?+
The most common mistake is prioritizing résumé keywords over real-world impact. A Director of Growth who can articulate what they built, why they built it, and what broke along the way will outperform a keyword-matched résumé every time. We screen for demonstrated results and communication quality — not just credentials — so you only meet candidates who can actually do the job.
