Growth Associate

We’re seeking a Growth Associate to support our go-to-market team at Atticus.

About us

Atticus is a Melbourne-based scale-up founded in 2017 that offers the leading technology in document fact-checking. We are on a mission to ensure every critical document is accurate and defensible. Our software helps our customers—law firms, listed companies, and funds—fact-check critical documents before they’re disclosed to the market. Our users love Atticus because we save them a lot of pain in high-pressure, high-stakes work. Our mission is to bring more truth to the world of business. We’re a growing, global company. We’re profitable and using our resources for growth. We’re trusted by most of over 50% of the UK Top 30 law firms, including the Magic and Silver Circle, and dozens of listed companies (including companies across the LSE Main Market). Plus, we’re expanding into Asia and North America.

About the role

You’ll be responsible for helping the Growth team achieve their ambitious goals in the EMEA region. As a Growth Associate, you’ll be a self-starter, able to work effectively with enthusiasm and flexibility without needing to be told exactly what to do. You’ll leverage your communication and collaboration skills to work with the growth team and senior leaders to support and contribute to our overall growth strategy. This role will support our continued expansion, reporting to our Head of Growth, UK.

Here is what a typical week might look like:

• Prospecting: You will make phone calls, write emails and use LinkedIn to identify sales leads. You will research and identify potential customers' needs, at times acting as one of their first points of contact. Using your drive, creativity and communication skills, you will help our Account Executives with messaging, lead generation, prospect research and booking meetings.
• Collaborating: You will act in a support capacity to the wider growth team, including Sales and Account Management. This includes working with our Senior Account Managers to support existing customer needs, working with our Growth Strategist to support growth initiatives and more generally helping with coordinating conferences, events and webinars.
• Reporting: While working to achieve ambitious targets you will report back to the wider growth team on key metrics like calls made, meetings booked, and email response rates, to name a few.
• Event planning: Helping coordinate and run physical events in the UK, including conferences and prospect and customer gatherings.

Significant room to grow: we’re looking for a candidate who is ready to kickstart their career and who shares our long-term vision of growing the business. Your primary task is to work with the Growth team to champion success. This opportunity will provide you with a training ground for a career in Sales, Account Management or another growth-orientated role. This role will ideally suit a candidate based in or around the London area.

About you

We want creative, curious, and self-driven people interested in building something of lasting value. The people who are likely to thrive at Atticus are conscientious problem solvers. So, if you’ve got the following qualities, then please get in touch:

• Creative and flexible: We’re a small team doing things nobody has done before, so you’ll be excited about tackling unknown problems and pitching in to help even when you don’t feel like you know exactly what you’re doing.
• Natural communicator: Communication is a first-class skill, particularly in a remote world, so we take it seriously. More than just good spelling and grammar, you’re great at building relationships and getting things done with others, whether it’s through Slack, Zoom, or in person.
• Measure twice, cut once: We believe that long-term, true velocity and agility come from planning enough so that you can move fast without breaking things. “Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast.”
• Bias toward action: Generally, when in doubt, you try something and see if it works. Yes, doing the right thing is best, but doing the not-quite-right thing and learning from it is better than doing nothing.
• Outcome-focused: You don’t confuse a great slide deck for genuine user outcomes. You’re able to separate the process from the outcome, and if you’re blocked on the process you were expecting to take, you try other ways of getting that outcome.
• Professionalism: A background in law, accounting, company administration, investor relations or banking is preferred.

£45,000–55,000 plus pension, commensurate with skills and experience. Hybrid - this role will require a minimum of 3-4 days a week in the office. Flexible work hours (we care about outcomes - go for that lunchtime swim). £1,200 home office setup budget. Five weeks leave each year (and never work on your birthday). Office in Shoreditch, London.
