Head of Growth and Operations
at OvaroHead of Growth & Operations (Second-in-Command) Location: London Pay: £36,000 basic + commission. OTE £70,000 in year one. Equity for the right person. I'm Ken, founder of Invoice Ovaro Ltd. I'm looking for one person to help me run and grow the business, and I'm being upfront: this role isn't for everyone. What we do We help tradespeople run proper businesses. Ovaro Web Express builds tradespeople a professional website and lets them see it before they pay anything. Ovaro is our AI invoicing and bookkeeping app: you say the job, it writes the invoice. It's live on Android, with iPhone coming. Every website customer gets three months of Ovaro free, and we help them set up their business banking and register their company. We have a sales team on the phones, Google Ads about to go live, and a plan to take this from the UK to the world. Why now AI is going to change a lot of jobs. It isn't going to fit a boiler, rewire a house or lay a driveway. More people are going to move into the trades, and they'll need everything we offer from day one. We want to be the company that gets them started. What you'll do Whatever needs doing. In your first few months that means:
- Running the day-to-day so I can focus on building
- Leading the sales team and closing website deals yourself
- Owning marketing: Google Ads, our message, and new channels that bring in tradespeople at a cost that works
- Spotting what's broken before customers do
- Helping hire and build the team as we grow There's no manual. You'll have me, the systems we've built, and real trust. Who you are You don't need experience in everything we do, because nobody has that. You do need to be: Someone who acts without being asked. Comfortable with how early-stage companies work: fast, messy, sometimes stressful, and yours to shape. Just as happy on the phone to a plumber as planning a campaign. Driven by results, not hours or titles. Someone who wants to win, and takes that seriously. If you need everything defined before you start, this isn't the role for you, and that's fine. What you get £36,000 basic salary. Commission on sales, mainly websites, with on-target earnings of £70,000 in year one. Equity for the right person, discussed openly once we know we're the right fit. A real say in where this goes, joining at the start, not once it's finished. How to apply Don't send a CV first. Look at ovaroweb.com and ovaro.io, then message me with a short note or a two-minute voice note answering one question: What's the first thing you'd change, and why? I read every reply. The best ones won't be the most polished. They'll be the ones that show you actually looked.
