Fusion Growth Partners is seeking an experienced Team Lead to oversee one of our high-performing production departments. This is a leadership-first role: you will not be hired to personally produce the work, but to manage, coach, and hold accountable the team that does.
Depending on your background, you may lead a team specializing in:
- Video Editing & Motion Graphics
- Graphic Design & Branding
- Email Campaigns
- Database Management
- Social Media Content & Scheduling
- Website Development & Maintenance
- Digital Marketing Campaigns
- Transaction Marketing
While each department has its own tools and technical demands, every Team Lead at Fusion is measured the same way: on their ability to manage people, manage volume, and manage deadlines. This is a management role first — subject-matter expertise is what determines which team you lead, not whether you're qualified to lead one.
Fusion Growth Partners is a business incubator and micro-venture capital company that invests in small service-based businesses and real estate professionals, helping them scale their clientele, systems, and profitability. Our "Partnership as a Service" model earned us recognition as the 813th fastest-growing company in America by Inc. 5000, and we now have more than 300 team members worldwide.
We operate in a high-volume, deadline-driven environment where every task matters and every day brings shifting priorities. If you're a natural leader who stays composed under pressure and knows how to get a team to hit tight deadlines without sacrificing quality, we want to hear from you.
Team Leadership & Development
- Lead, mentor, and develop a team of specialists in your assigned department
- Conduct regular quality reviews and deliver actionable, specific feedback
- Assist with interviewing, onboarding, and training new team members
- Set performance standards and hold the team accountable to them
- Serve as the first point of escalation for time-sensitive issues
Production & Workflow Management
- Manage a high-volume pipeline with multiple competing priorities and deadlines
- Triage incoming requests and allocate work based on urgency and team capacity
- Monitor workload distribution to ensure timely, consistent delivery
- Build, document, and refine SOPs and workflows for your department
- Identify bottlenecks and implement fixes that improve turnaround time
Quality Control & Standards
- Review deliverables for accuracy, consistency, and brand alignment before they go out
- Identify recurring quality issues and address them with targeted training, not just correction
- Maintain the department's standards even as volume and headcount grow
Reporting & Cross-Functional Collaboration
- Track key performance metrics and report progress to leadership
- Work with project managers and other department leads to keep priorities aligned
- Communicate risks and recommendations clearly and proactively
Required
- 2+ years of experience directly leading or managing a team — not just senior-level individual contributor experience. You should be able to speak concretely about hiring, coaching, and holding people accountable to deadlines and quality.
- Experience managing a high-volume, deadline-driven production environment
- Proven ability to prioritize and delegate based on urgency, capacity, and impact
- Experience building or improving workflows, SOPs, or production processes
- Strong communication, coaching, and conflict-resolution skills
- Comfort making fast decisions without sacrificing quality standards
- Proficiency with task/project management systems (e.g., Asana, Trello, or similar)
Department-specific (varies by team)
- Video Editing / Graphic Design: Advanced proficiency in Adobe Creative Cloud (Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, Illustrator) and a strong grasp of visual storytelling and brand consistency
- Email & Database: Familiarity with CRM/ESP platforms, database hygiene, and campaign workflows
- Social Media: Understanding of platform-specific content strategy, scheduling tools, and engagement metrics
- Website Development: Working knowledge of CMS platforms and front-end troubleshooting
A note for applicants: If your background is strong on the technical/creative side but light on formally leading a team (managing people's performance, schedules, and development — not just producing your own work), this likely isn't the right fit yet. We're specifically looking for people who have already done the people-management part.
Preferred
- Experience managing a remote or distributed team
- Familiarity with AI-powered tools and workflow automation relevant to your department
- Experience in the real estate marketing space
- Competitive monthly wage
- A supportive, fast-moving team culture
- Real ownership over a department's output and growth
- The chance to make a meaningful, visible impact every day
