About Foundr
Foundr is a global media and education company for entrepreneurs, reaching millions of business owners every month through our podcasts (Foundr Podcast, Little Empires), 632K+ newsletter subscribers, 3.8M+ social audience, live events, educational programs, and the Foundr Operators community.
Foundr Operators Membership (FOM) is our coaching program for advanced DTC and ecommerce founders and operators, helping members solve real growth challenges across acquisition, conversion, retention, and business
economics.
The Opportunity
Are you an experienced ecommerce operator who loves solving growth problems and helping other founders succeed?
Foundr is looking for an eCommerce Growth Coach to join the Foundr Operators Membership team.
This is a hands-on practitioner role for someone who has been in the trenches growing ecommerce brands and can turn that experience into practical, commercially grounded coaching.
You will manage a portfolio of FOM members across different revenue levels, ad spend, business stages, and growth challenges, helping them identify and address the highest-impact opportunities across four core areas: traffic, conversion, retention, and economics.
This is not a role where you simply deliver a fixed curriculum. You will diagnose problems, challenge thinking, review strategy and creative, help members determine what to prioritise next, and keep them accountable to moving their businesses forward.
You will also help strengthen the FOM program itself by turning your experience and what is working across the membership into frameworks, templates, Looms, and resources that can benefit the broader community.
What You Will Do
Coach and support FOM members
Run approximately two to five coaching calls per week with assigned members across varied revenue levels, ad spend, business stages, and growth challenges.
Conduct monthly 30-minute progress check-ins with each assigned member to review progress, address blockers, and maintain momentum.
Provide ongoing asynchronous support between calls via DM, including answering questions, reviewing creative, and providing feedback on strategy.
Help members diagnose their highest-impact growth constraints and translate strategy into practical next steps.
Adapt your coaching approach based on each member’s business, experience level, priorities, and stage of growth.
Drive member progress and engagement
Build trusted relationships with members and become a credible, practical growth resource they can rely on.
Keep members engaged, accountable, and moving toward agreed priorities and outcomes.
Track member progress and proactively flag risks, blockers, or concerns to the Head of Coaching.
Identify recurring challenges across the member portfolio and look for opportunities to address them more systematically.
Contribute actively to member retention by ensuring the coaching experience delivers practical and ongoing value.
Build frameworks, curriculum, and coaching resources
Develop frameworks, templates, checklists, and reference guides based on recurring challenges and approaches that are working across the membership.
Record Looms and short explainer videos to support the FOM resource library.
Contribute to onboarding materials and the member welcome experience.
Work with the coaching team and Program Manager to keep FOM content current, relevant, and practical.
Turn successful coaching approaches into repeatable resources that can benefit the wider membership.
