Career path to Chief Operating Officer (COO)

The role is meant for someone with 2-6 years of experience (or roughly in that range).

OVERVIEW

About Growth 11

Growth 11 is building a next-generation AI-powered B2B talent network built on a unique model: a fractional talent collective spanning both executive and execution-level talent, which interconnect to drive growth for the company.

We are building a world-class connected network purpose-built to place top growth leadership, powered by AI combined with smart integration of human workflows.

About the Founder

Sham Sao has had numerous successful exits, including one of just under USD 2 billion. He began his career at McKinsey, then served as CRO, CMO, and CEO across multiple B2B SaaS companies.

Educated at Harvard Business School, Harvard Law School, and Yale. He currently sits on PE and VC boards.

The Opportunity

This is an opportunity to work directly alongside the founder from day one as Chief of Staff, collaborating to grow the company. As the business scales, this role evolves into Chief Operating Officer, leading the India-based operations and being a key member of Growth 11's global executive team.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Partner directly with the Founder and CEO to build the firm from the ground up. You'll work on the things that move the business most:

- Synthesize thought-leading content. Turn interviews with the founder and leading market experts into sharp, insightful content: newsletter pieces, LinkedIn posts, and guides that gain market attention.
- Drive the outbound machine. Learn and apply best-in-class outbound sequencing and AI automation,



tapping outside specialists for best practices (e.g., Smartlead, LinkedIn algorithms). Run outbound for candidate sourcing and client development.
- Participate in executive interviews. Interview and screen senior executives for content creation and candidate selection, with hands-on coaching from a founder who has hired and placed leaders at the highest level.

Where It Leads

As Growth 11 scales, your ownership scales with it. You take on full ownership of candidate screening, the tool and process stack, and AI deployment across the business, including managing outside specialists.

The role evolves toward Chief Operating Officer, leading the company's Operational Center of Excellence: optimizing processes, systems, and AI. You will run the full India operation, the backbone of the company, as a key member of the global executive team.

REQUIREMENTS

Education and Caliber

US-educated, strong school. A relevant degree is a bonus, not a requirement. What matters most is that they're smart and can grow with the business.

Smart with Strong Writing Skills

Needs to understand what Growth 11 is doing well enough to turn interview material into genuinely good content independently. Not just a writer for hire; someone who can think.

Interpersonal Skills and Presence

Willing and able to interview executives, with coaching from the founder. Personable, since this role touches people constantly, both candidates and vendors.

Systems Thinking

Can help build out processes and workflows, and can analyze and recommend the right tools for a job, even without hands-on mastery of every tool yet.

Quick Learner with Entrepreneurial Mindset

Can pick up best-in-class execution on outbound email, LinkedIn tactics, content development, and AI agent/automation work. Takes ownership to drive outcomes.
