Penrose is seeking a highly experienced Senior Growth Consultant specializing in Google Ads and SEO for residential and commercial service businesses. This is a senior, strategy-first role: you will oversee growth strategy, diagnose higher-level performance issues, and direct Penrose team members on execution. For the right person, the engagement is designed to convert into a full-time leadership position. The role demands tremendous sector-specific expertise—someone who has managed large-scale budgets in residential and commercial services and knows the space cold. A candid note on the bar: Our clients are private equity firms and independent sponsors, and this role interacts with them directly. You'll be expected to defend strategy to investors, speak in revenue and EBITDA rather than clicks and impressions, and hold your own in rooms with former Bain and Morgan Stanley operators. We say this respectfully: this is not a role for campaign managers or channel specialists looking to level up. It's for proven senior operators who already perform at this level and want a platform that matches their ambition. If that's you, we'd love to talk. About Penrose Penrose is a next-generation consulting firm rapidly becoming the go-to growth partner for private equity firms and independent sponsors investing in residential and commercial services. Clients hire us to oversee multiple levers of growth—strategy, operations, and execution—making us a true growth and operational partner, not just another agency. The results speak for themselves: over $80MM in additional revenue generated for clients, directly contributing to several portfolio companies going up for sale. Penrose is led by Morgan Stanley, Bain & Company, and Bain Capital alumni and operates with the rigor PE investors expect. With strong demand and a robust pipeline, we're looking for exceptional talent ready to grow with us. The Role 1. Own growth strategy for client accounts—set direction, priorities, and standards rather than day-to-day execution. 2. Diagnose higher-level issues: perform root-cause analyses on underperforming campaigns and design corrective strategies. 3. Direct and mentor Penrose team members, establishing workflows and accountability so execution matches your strategic vision. 4. Strategize and optimize high-budget campaigns ($30K+/month) across Google Ads, Meta, and LinkedIn with a focus on ROI. 5. Apply advanced on-page and off-page SEO expertise; guide GoHighLevel automations and tech integrations. 6. Ensure campaign maintenance disciplines are in place (bid adjustments, negative keywords, creative refreshes, A/B testing). 7. Develop sector-specific strategies for home services (HVAC, GC, plumbing, etc.) and high-value e-commerce. 8. Monitor the full funnel—not just on-platform metrics—including offline conversion tracking, call/lead tracking, and downstream automations, so reported performance reflects real revenue. Hiring process: As an initial test, you will audit a live Google Ads account and its full funnel—including dashboards, automations and conversion tracking. An offer will be extended based on the quality of that audit. Path to full-time: Consultants who demonstrate quality and strategic impact will be invited to join Penrose full-time in a senior leadership capacity. Qualifications 1. Tremendous sector-specific expertise in residential/commercial services and/or luxury/high-ticket e-commerce. 2. 5+ years hands-on in paid advertising with a proven track record managing $30K+/month budgets. 3. Demonstrated ability to diagnose and correct underperforming campaigns through deep analysis. 4. Experience monitoring the full funnel—offline conversions, tracking infrastructure, and automations—not just on-platform performance. 5. Strong leadership skills with experience directing teams; detail-oriented and process-driven. Comfortable with Asana, ClickUp, or similar; a self-starter who works independently and proactively improves processes. Additional Details Hours: 10–20 hours/month initially; available during U.S. business hours. Ability to increase to full-time based on skill-level Location: Remote (must demonstrate accountability and timely delivery). Growth path: Full-time senior role for strong performers, with significant advancement and salary growth.

Our buyers are NYC parents of children ages 2-6, heavily active on Facebook and Instagram. Meta scope (co-primary): build custom audiences from our substantial customer email list, create NYC-metro lookalikes, geo/parent-targeted prospecting, and retargeting of site visitors — creative assets and a strong seasonal news hook provided. Google scope (co-primary): high-intent search campaigns for our test-prep and admissions books, including competitor/conquest keyword campaigns targeting searches for older legacy titles in our category, plus branded search. You must set up and verify conversion tracking (Shopify, GA4, Meta pixel/CAPI, Google Ads) before any spend. Monthly budget starts at $1,000-1,500 with room to scale on demonstrated ROAS. Requirements: you personally manage the accounts (no teams/agencies), campaigns run in OUR Meta Business Manager and Google Ads accounts with partner access only, and you can show at least one Shopify or e-commerce account you've managed with actual ROAS results. We measure success only by tracked conversions and ROAS, never impressions, reach, or engagement. Screening questions: (1) How would you structure and size a lookalike audience from a 10,000+ customer list for a NYC-metro product? (2) In 3-4 sentences, how would you run a conquest search campaign targeting a competing book title, including the trademark rules that apply?

**The Job at a Glance** Role: Freelance, boots-on-the-ground social media photographer/content creator Shoots: 45–90 minutes, on weekdays (typically Tue-Thur during daytime hours) Capture: ~30 photos + 5–7 short, Reel-style video clips Editing: None! All content is delivered raw and unedited Prep: Brief 15–20 minute virtual pre-shoot meeting with shot list, examples, and creative direction all provided for your convenience Ideal Fit: Reliable, people-friendly, and comfortable capturing natural, engaging, social-first content **The Full Details** We’re looking for a talented local photographer/content creator to join us for fun, social-media-focused content shoots with our marketing agency, Upshoot Creative. These sessions will focus on capturing lively photos and short video clips of clients and their team members having fun, serving guests, showing personality, and doing what they do best. While photography is a big part of the role, we’re also looking for someone who understands social media content, has a good eye for engaging Reel-style video clips, and can capture moments with the final post in mind. We’ll provide creative direction, shot lists, examples, and all shoot details ahead of time. You bring your eye for great moments, steady communication, positive energy, and a strong understanding of what makes content feel natural, current, and engaging. iPhone photography is accepted and can be especially helpful for short video clips. Ideally, you have an iPhone 15 or newer. Where: The Peninsula/Hampton Roads Area. Specifically: Yorktown, Newport News, Hampton, and Williamsburg. On rare occasions shoots may take place in Virginia Beach or the Richmond area. When: Weekdays, Tuesday through Thursday, typically during one of these shoot start windows: 8–10 AM 2–4 PM Occasionally 4–7 PM Most shoots last around 1 to 1.5 hours. The times listed above are general start-time windows, not the full shoot length. What we need: For each session, we’re typically looking for approximately 30 raw/unedited captures, primarily photos, plus 5–7 short unedited video clips that can be used for Instagram Reels and other social content. All files should be delivered unedited, as our team handles post-production in-house. This allows you to focus fully on capturing authentic, high-quality content while we take care of editing, captions, strategy, and final delivery. This allows you to spend the bulk of your energy on the shoot itself, and get paid promptly for your time without worrying about the extras. The final raw content will be uploaded to a Google Drive link that we provide. A few days before each shoot, we’ll hop on a quick 10–20 minute virtual call to walk through the shot list, share examples, align on expectations, and answer any questions. Our goal is to make sure you feel fully prepared and confident going into the session. We really try to make this easy and enjoyable for our photographers and content creators by handling the planning and details ahead of time. You’ll receive clear direction, examples, and support so you can simply show up, capture great content, and shine as our go-to “boots on the ground” creative. Our ideal contractor is someone who communicates clearly, is reliable and professional, has a solid photography foundation, understands social media best practices, and enjoys working with people. We’re looking for someone who can confidently capture both polished photos and fun, natural, trend-aware video moments that feel right for today’s social platforms. If we’re a great fit, this can absolutely turn into ongoing opportunities, as we love building long-term creative partnerships. Brooke and Stephen are the project managers for this role, and we’re looking forward to connecting with you!

Daletho is a small digital product studio that designs and builds custom software solutions for businesses. We do not sell one fixed product, package, or SaaS platform. What we sell is our ability to understand a business problem and build the right digital solution around it. That could mean a client portal, internal operations tool, custom workflow, dashboard, intake system, document process, scheduling platform, lightweight web application, or another custom system. Because of that, I’m looking for someone who is comfortable selling in a more open-ended, consultative environment. You should have enough familiarity with software and business operations to speak with a prospect, understand how their business currently works, notice areas where a digital tool could improve the process, and recognize when there may be a genuine opportunity for Daletho. You do not need to be a developer, and you will not be responsible for technically scoping projects. I will handle detailed discovery, technical planning, proposals, pricing, and delivery. Your role is to own the front end of business development. What you’ll be responsible for Independently source small and midsize businesses that appear to be a strong fit Identify owners, operators, and other relevant decision-makers Cold call and initiate conversations with prospects Learn how the business currently handles its workflows, client processes, operations, or internal systems Recognize problems that could potentially be solved with custom software Explain Daletho’s capabilities in a clear, practical way Qualify genuine opportunities Follow up with interested prospects Book discovery meetings when there is a potential fit Keep accurate records of leads, calls, outcomes, notes, and follow-ups in a shared lead tracker There is no rigid script and no single product you are expected to push. One business may need a client portal. Another may have a messy internal workflow. Another may be relying on spreadsheets or manual processes that could be replaced with a custom tool. Your job is to listen, ask good questions, understand what is happening inside the business, and recognize where Daletho may be able to help. Typical project size Most Daletho projects are expected to fall in the $3,000–$8,000+ range, depending on scope and complexity. Smaller custom systems may be around $3,000–$5,000, while more involved builds can be significantly higher. Because commission is based on initial contract revenue, one strong client can be worth considerably more than booking a large number of low-quality meetings. For example, a $5,000 project would generate $1,500 in commission at 30%. Compensation $100 weekly base + 30% of collected initial contract revenue from clients you originate. The base is meant to provide some guaranteed compensation while you prospect. The larger earning opportunity is commission. There is no fixed lead or call quota. I care more about consistent activity, good prospect selection, quality conversations, and genuine opportunities than hitting an arbitrary number. All prospecting activity should be documented in Daletho’s shared lead tracker so there is a clear record of businesses sourced, outreach attempts, conversations, follow-ups, and opportunities. This can become an ongoing relationship if the arrangement is productive. Ideal background This role is best suited for someone with experience in areas such as: B2B cold calling Business development Digital agency sales Custom software or development sales Technology consulting Solution selling Professional-services sales You should be comfortable discussing software at a practical business level. You do not need to code, but you should generally understand what things like client portals, dashboards, workflow automation, internal tools, web applications, and custom systems are — and why a business might need them. US-based applicants only.
