We're partnering with a high-growth business accelerator to hire an experienced Agency Growth Consultant to support a portfolio of ambitious agency founders through a structured scale-up programme.

This is a strategic advisory role focused on coaching, accountability, and commercial growth. You'll work closely with founders to help them identify priorities, solve operational and growth challenges, and execute effectively across every stage of their journey in the programme.

You will act as a trusted advisor from onboarding through to programme completion, helping founders improve revenue performance, strengthen operations, and build scalable agency businesses.

The Opportunity

This position is ideal for someone with a strong consulting, advisory, or fractional leadership background who understands how agencies scale and enjoys working across multiple founder relationships simultaneously.

You won't be responsible for delivering execution work directly. Instead, your role will centre on strategic guidance, performance management, problem-solving, and keeping founders focused on the actions that drive measurable business outcomes.

Key Responsibilities

Build tailored growth roadmaps for founders, establishing clear 30/60/90-day priorities aligned to commercial and operational goals
Lead structured weekly 1:1 strategy sessions to review progress, remove blockers, and refine priorities based on business performance
Conduct monthly performance reviews, tracking milestones, identifying gaps, and recommending strategic adjustments
Provide responsive support and strategic guidance through Slack and other communication channels between coaching sessions
Advise founders across key areas of agency growth including:

Client acquisition and pipeline development
Pricing and offer positioning
Delivery operations and systems
Team structure, hiring, and leadership
Partnerships and strategic growth opportunities
Personal brand and market positioning

Identify risks or operational issues early and proactively guide founders back on track where needed
Maintain accurate progress tracking and share key insights, challenges, and success stories with the wider leadership team
Learn and apply the organisation's internal methodologies, frameworks, and playbooks to ensure consistency across the founder experience
Act as a link between leadership and programme members, translating strategic direction into practical founder-level guidance

About You

We're looking for someone who combines strong commercial awareness with the ability to build trusted advisory relationships quickly.

You will ideally have:

Proven experience advising founders, business owners, or agency leaders across multiple businesses simultaneously
A strong understanding of how agencies operate, grow, and scale commercially
Excellent commercial instincts with a focus on revenue growth, pipeline development, and business performance
Experience managing multiple client or stakeholder relationships in a fast-paced environment
The confidence to provide direct, clear, and actionable advice
Strong written communication skills with the ability to engage effectively across Slack and digital communication channels
A proactive and adaptable approach, comfortable operating in fast-moving and evolving business environments

Why Apply?

This is an opportunity to work closely with ambitious founders inside a fast-growth environment where your strategic input will have a direct impact on business outcomes.

You'll join a collaborative, entrepreneurial team and play a key role in helping agency owners scale more effectively, make better decisions, and achieve measurable growth.

Handle actively welcomes applicants from under-represented backgrounds - we pride ourselves on attracting the best talent for every opportunity through a commitment to equality, diversity and inclusion.
