Hanson Search specialises in Growth Marketing Recruitment in London. We hire senior growth leaders, Heads of Growth, VPs of Growth, Directors of Growth Marketing and Chief Growth Officers, for scale-ups, SaaS businesses, fintechs, consumer technology brands, DTC companies and PE-backed portfolios across London and the wider UK.

Growth marketing has matured into a distinct senior discipline with its own talent pool, its own operating models and its own commercial accountabilities. Consequently, the strongest senior growth leaders rarely sit on agency databases or apply to job adverts. We headhunt them directly, assessing them on commercial impact, channel breadth, experimentation track record and the leadership credibility that scale-up boards now demand.

Senior Growth Marketing Roles We Recruit Across London

Our London growth marketing searches span the full senior bracket. Specifically, we place Heads of Growth, VPs of Growth, Directors of Growth Marketing, Heads of Performance, Heads of Demand Generation, Heads of Lifecycle, Heads of CRM, Heads of Acquisition, Senior Growth Marketing Managers and Chief Growth Officers.

Furthermore, we run specialist senior searches in performance marketing, paid media leadership, organic growth, conversion rate optimisation, product-led growth, B2B demand generation and full-funnel acquisition leadership. The functional breadth reflects what growth leadership actually looks like inside scaling businesses today.

Why London Growth Marketing Hiring Sits Apart

The London growth marketing market behaves differently from any peer city. Notably, London concentrates the largest scale-up and venture capital ecosystem in Europe, which has created sustained demand for growth leaders capable of taking a business from Series A through Series D and beyond. The role profile here is also unusually broad. London Heads of Growth frequently combine performance marketing, lifecycle, channel partnerships, analytics and team leadership inside a single mandate, often reporting directly to the CEO or CMO.

Equally, the post-Brexit relocation of European technology businesses into London has materially increased the international dimension of senior growth hiring. Consequently, our clients increasingly need growth leaders capable of scaling commercially across UK and European markets simultaneously, which narrows the candidate pool meaningfully at the senior end.

How Hanson Search Approaches Growth Marketing Recruitment in London

A lead consultant owns every London growth search end to end. We resist the volume-agency habits of long databases and light shortlists that hold back senior growth hiring across the city.

Three principles anchor every brief we deliver. First, we map talent across SaaS, fintech, consumer technology, DTC, marketplaces and PE-backed portfolio companies, because the right growth leader often sits in a sub-sector the client had not initially considered. Second, we benchmark each candidate against commercial track record, channel breadth, experimentation discipline and the temperament to operate inside the speed and scrutiny of London’s scale-up environment. Third, we test cultural fit thoroughly, because growth leadership in scaling businesses rewards leaders who can balance analytical rigour with creative judgement. Our B Corp certification reflects a settled commitment to responsible search.
