Growth Lead

Help us rebuild how buildings get made, and make sure everyone knows it.

Getting a building approved, designed and built in the UK takes too long and costs too much. Most of the process still runs on PDFs, email chains and manual checks. We are replacing that with data and AI.

We started with planning. Since 2020 we have gone from a bootstrapped lead gen app to a suite of products used across the property world. IBex powers most of UK conveyancing with planning data. Planda uses AI to predict planning outcomes. Planda Portal launched in 2026 and went national in months. Half of planning applications are submitted invalid and we're the reason that number is falling.

Planning was step one. We are now building much more across the built environment, and the next product is yours to help shape. We are a team of more than 50, moving fast, and hiring our first growth lead.

Who we are

Serac Group is a UK based technology company leading the digital transformation of the property, planning and local government sectors.

• Planda Portal - Digital planning submissions that validate applications before they reach the council. For architects and planning consultants.

• Planda - AI that predicts planning outcomes. For homeowners and estate agents.

• IBex - The UK's leading API for planning application data. For conveyancers and enterprise clients.

• Serac Tech - Automated outreach to construction projects nationwide. For construction companies looking for new work.

Each one has its own audience and needs its own story.

From assessing development potential to connecting businesses with the right clients at the right time, we’re redefining PropTech. Join us to be part of the next wave of innovation. 🚀

The role

You will own growth at Serac Group, with a focus on Planda Portal. You decide what we focus on, make it happen and measure it, with a team around you that is engaged and ready to help. As we scale, there is a clear path to Head of Growth and building your own team.

You will report to Riccardo, our Chief of Staff, and work closely with Brandon, our CEO, and with Alice, our Head of Product. Day to day you will also work with sales and account management.

What you'll do

Audience

• Build presence for Serac Group and each product wherever our customers pay attention: LinkedIn, newsletters, podcasts, events and communities. Turn yourself and the team into visible voices.

Launches

• Own every launch from the moment it is scoped. A feature isn't finished until people know about it!

• Keep the story going after launch day with customer stories, results, data and follow ups.

Ideas

• Run experiments: content formats, stunts, partnerships, events. Double down on what works and drop what doesn't, fast.

Growth

• Set clear targets for awareness and pipeline, track them and report on them.

• Work with sales, account management and product to turn attention into signups and revenue.

• Work with the leadership team on where we focus next, and have a real say in which areas we go after. You will know the market appetite best.

What we're looking for

You don't have to be brilliant at all of this yet. You just have to want to be.

Mindset first

• You want to be known in your industry, and you see this role as a real chance to make that happen

• You are proactive. You don't wait for a brief, you turn up with ideas and ship them

• You measure yourself on outcomes: reach, signups, pipeline. Activity alone doesn't count

• You are comfortable putting yourself out there, whether that is speaking at an event, hosting a webinar or sharing opinions online

• You ask for help when you need it. If a technical meeting goes over your head, you pull in the team and get up to speed

Skills

• You write fast and well, with a voice people recognise

• You understand B2B SaaS well enough to explain what an API is and how systems integrate

• You understand how B2B audiences are built, on LinkedIn and in niche communities

• You are comfortable with numbers and can tell what is working from the data

• You use AI tools to move faster than a team twice your size

Indicators we look out for

• You have grown an audience before: your own, a newsletter, a side project, a community

• You can point to something you made spread and explain why it worked

• Proptech or B2B SaaS experience is a bonus, as is genuine interest in property and the UK planning system

What this role is not

If you want to run campaigns someone else designed, manage an agency, or keep things steady and predictable, this isn't the one. If you need sign-off for every decision, it isn't either. We want someone who wants to make noise and wants the credit for it.
