Founding Growth Manager - APAC

As a Founding Growth Manager at Flagright, you will take ownership of figuring out the APAC go-to-market strategy and tactics: Sales acquisition channels, breaking into new accounts, and fostering relationships with multiple contacts within our target customer segments. You will be responsible for understanding the best strategies to generate traction, conducting market research to identify new potential customers and leads, and qualifying these leads by learning about their approach to AML compliance & fraud.

You will NOT have any paid advertisement budget. You'll have to figure things out using minimal investment and existing tooling such as Zoominfo, Outreach, Hubspot etc. You need to figure out what works before you ask for a budget, or more people to support you, or a marketing investment. If you never worked at a startup before, you are unlikely to succeed in this role. You'll need to be frugal, take ownership, and hack your way to success.

This is a remote position, so you will need to be self-motivated and able to work independently. At Flagright, we offer exciting career growth opportunities for motivated individuals who are looking to take the next step in their careers. If you are highly driven, enthusiastic, and looking for an exciting opportunity to join an early-stage startup, we want to hear from you. Apply now and take the first step in your career at Flagright.
