Vice President - Growth & Transformation

Red Ventures portfolio companies empower partners through a unique blend of high-scale proprietary distribution, data models, AI-enabled applications, and strategic client partnerships. We help our clients unlock significant and sustainable growth across the home services and financial services ecosystems, ranging from telecommunications and deregulated energy to credit cards and deposits. As a Red Ventures company, we have more than 20 years of experience building strategic, long-standing relationships with some of the world’s most powerful brands across various industries.

The VP, AI Product & Growth leads the AI products and agentic systems that drive growth for a client partnership. The VP separates what the client needs from what the client asks for, proposes AI solutions tailored to that need, and stays close to the build, setting direction with the GTM Engineer or Senior Director who owns the hands-on work. The VP owns the client relationship from end to end.  This role requires a leader who can operate at the C-suite level, apply real AI build judgment, and direct a cross-functional team toward measurable results.

Location: South Charlotte, NC or New York, NY (Hybrid). 

What You'll Do:

Client Partnership & Relationship Management

• Own the client relationship: senior stakeholder management through strategic planning, execution, and renewal.
• Separate what the client needs from what they ask for, and translate that into growth strategy delivered through AI-enabled solutions.
• Lead strategic reviews and executive reporting that tie performance to business outcomes.
• Collaborate with the SVP on contract structure, pricing, and partnership planning.

AI Product & Agentic Strategy

• Propose tailored AI solutions per client and set product direction for agentic workflows that scale acquisition, retention, and lifetime value.
• Partner with the GTM Engineer or Senior Director who leads the hands-on build, and direct a dotted-line team of creative, engineering, data, and product partners.
• Maintain fluency in agentic architectures (multi-step workflows, API integrations, LLM reasoning, RAG) to make design tradeoffs and judge whether a system is ready for a client.

AI Quality, Evaluation & Responsible Deployment

• Set evaluation and monitoring standards for AI systems before they scale and while in production: accuracy, latency, cost, fallback logic.
• Define failure modes and data coverage requirements, and what must be proven before a system goes in front of an enterprise client.
• Ensure AI-native workflows are deployed responsibly and in compliance with client-specific regulations.

Growth Strategy & Commercial Outcomes

• Own the growth strategy for the partnership: customer acquisition, media-funnel performance, retention.
• Be accountable for commercial outcomes and unit economics, working with the SVP on pricing, resourcing, and margin targets.
• Build business cases for new initiatives based on data and measurable targets.

Delivery & Performance Reporting

• Own program delivery for the partnership: planning, execution, and iteration across active workstreams.
• Define and manage KPIs tied to acquisition, retention, engagement, and revenue.
• Prepare executive-level reporting that ties outcomes and roadmap progress to business impact.

Team Leadership & Business Development

• Lead and mentor a team of directors, analysts, and operators. Growth marketing and compliance report to you directly.
• Shape team structure, headcount planning, and talent development for the account.
• Identify opportunities to expand client engagements through growth marketing and AI-driven transformation.

What We're Looking For

• 15+ years of leadership experience in digital transformation, with a focus on customer acquisition, performance marketing, or financial services. 
• Demonstrated AI readiness judgment: assessed client needs against wants, worked with evaluation frameworks, failure modes, and data coverage on AI systems in or near production.
• Close proximity to an actual AI build. You shipped a consumer facing AI product, or sat directly alongside the team that did, beyond funding or commercialization.
• Strong fluency in agentic systems and modern AI architectures, sufficient to direct and evaluate technical teams.
• Proven track record owning senior client relationships at the VP or C-suite level.
• Growth marketing, media-funnel, or customer acquisition experience 
• Experience contributing to P&L and commercial outcomes. 
• Strong analytical capability: defining and managing KPIs tied to acquisition, retention, and revenue.
• Demonstrated leadership of cross-functional teams, including dotted-line technical partners, in ambiguous environments.
• Excellent communication skills: able to translate complex systems into executive-ready insight.
