Position Overview: Director, Growth & AI

For the consultant who's gone all-in on AI and wants a job that has too.

You've been using AI to do things that used to take weeks. You're curious about what it can do next and impatient with organizations that aren't. Sharp analytical instincts, a bias for action, and the kind of person who leaves a strategy session already thinking about what it would take to actually do the thing.

Here, it's the job. You’ll identify the opportunity, build the case, direct a crew of AI agents to execute, measure what happens, and feed it back into the next decision. The full loop owned by one person, powered by AI, measured in P&L impact.

1. Schumacher & Co is a 135 year old start-up at the intersection of craft and innovation — producing some of the world's most admired fabrics, wallcoverings, and interior products. We're reimagining what growth looks like when sharp commercial instincts meet modern AI.

 

What you'll do

Read the instruments.

• Use AI to monitor performance across channels, products, and customer segments surfacing opportunities and anomalies before they're obvious.
• Build analytical models that separate signal from noise and give you genuine confidence in what's driving results (and where to accelerate!)
• Translate data into a prioritized opportunity map knowing which levers move the P&L and which are distraction.

 

 

Build the case.

• Construct tight business cases: financial models, scenario analyses, and board-ready materials, leveraging AI to compress the time it takes to get there without sacrificing quality.
• Pressure-test your own recommendations before they reach the room.

Command the crew.

• Direct a fleet of AI agents, assigning work, setting standards, reviewing outputs, holding the operation accountable to results.
• Build the workflows and automated systems that turn a good idea into a running machine, repeatable, scalable, and durable beyond any single person.

Debrief. Learn. Relaunch.

• Track outcomes with discipline and report back to senior leadership with clarity: what worked, what didn't, what we do differently next time.
• Feed performance learnings back into the analytical models so the next round of strategy is sharper than the last.
•  

What we're looking for

• 3 to 5 years of experience in management consulting, corporate strategy, or a comparable role with strong analytical foundations
• Proven ability to move from insight to action: you don't just identify what's wrong, you figure out how to fix it and see it through
• Active, working familiarity with AI tools and a genuine interest in pushing the boundaries of what they can do in a business context
• Exceptional communicator: you can translate complex analysis into clear recommendations for a senior audience
• High comfort with ambiguity. You define your own structure and hold yourself accountable to outcomes, not just activity
• Collaborative and low-ego. Equally at home in a working session with an ops team as in a leadership review

Our values

• Preserve the entrepreneurial spirit
• Take ownership & accountability
• Be solutions-oriented
• Demonstrate courage
• Practice adaptability
• Embrace collaboration
