Growth Advi­sor

A Growth Advi­sor at Lawrence & Co. works side by side with ambi­tious CEOs and their lead­er­ship teams. Togeth­er they build com­pa­nies that grow reli­ably, quar­ter after quar­ter and decade after decade. You’ll do some of the most mean­ing­ful work of your career with founders who are seri­ous about scal­ing. The role needs exec­u­tive cred­i­bil­i­ty, sharp facil­i­ta­tion skills, and a coach’s instinct to ask ques­tions before giv­ing answers.

The Role

As a Growth Advi­sor, you’ll lead strate­gic plan­ning with exec­u­tive teams at com­pa­nies doing $50M to $500M+ in rev­enue. You’ll facil­i­tate annu­al and quar­ter­ly plan­ning ses­sions, onsite and vir­tu­al. In those ses­sions, teams clar­i­fy their vision, sharp­en their strat­e­gy, and build their One-Page Strate­gic Plan. Between ses­sions, you’ll hold teams account­able to their goals and met­rics, review their num­bers with them, and push back on their think­ing when it counts. You’ll also coach CEOs and senior lead­ers as they step into big­ger roles in a big­ger com­pa­ny. Our client rela­tion­ships aver­age five-plus years, so you’ll stay with each team for the long haul and adjust strat­e­gy based on real results. You’ll also help grow the firm through your net­work and by sup­port­ing new client relationships.

Who We’re Look­ing For

Sea­soned Exec­u­tive: You have 10+ years in senior lead­er­ship, includ­ing at least 3 as a CEO or exec­u­tive in a high-growth entre­pre­neur­ial com­pa­ny. You’re com­fort­able in the board­room of a $50M to $500M com­pa­ny. Pri­vate equi­ty expe­ri­ence is a plus.

Expert Facil­i­ta­tor: You’ve led strate­gic plan­ning ses­sions, lead­er­ship pro­grams, and off­sites for exec­u­tive teams. You know how to run a room, keep it engaged, and leave it with clear commitments.

Strate­gic Plan­ning Prac­ti­tion­er: You’ve owned strate­gic plan­ning using Scal­ing Up, EOS, or a sim­i­lar method, either in your own com­pa­ny or as a coach. You know Jim Collins’ work well.

Coach at Heart: You have CTI or equiv­a­lent coach train­ing, or a lead­er­ship style that trans­lates nat­u­ral­ly to coach­ing. You ask lots of ques­tions and help teams find their own answers. You’re not a bulldozer.

Finan­cial­ly Flu­ent: You can read a P&L, spot what doesn’t add up, and turn the num­bers into con­ver­sa­tions that lead to bet­ter decisions.

High-EQ Com­mu­ni­ca­tor: You build trust at every lev­el of an orga­ni­za­tion and make com­plex ideas sim­ple, clear, and compelling.

Well-Con­nect­ed: Ide­al­ly, you’re a mem­ber of or con­nect­ed to EO, YPO, or sim­i­lar CEO groups. You have a strong net­work and you’re com­fort­able doing some busi­ness development.
