Exit Forward is an equity growth partner. We buy into founder-led businesses and grow them. We own Dilate, the digital agency we spent fourteen years building to eighty-plus specialists. After a few successful internal acquisitions at Dilate, we invested in Online Creative Dudes. And we've just stood up Salt Coast Painting from scratch. There will be more. Watch the accompanying video for more context.

If we were to speak plainly this is a sales and marketing role. Your KPI is straightforward: leads, booked meetings and growth for the businesses in the group. You don't close. Every business has a person responsible for that. Your job is to fill their calendars and grow the pipeline honestly, working closely with the sales team to ensure efficiency and sustainable growth.

Why this role exists now.

This role would normally be three hires: demand-gen, content, and sales support. We can make it one because of what sits behind it. Fourteen years of agency capability, a mature AI stack, and specialists across every channel. One resourceful person plugged into that can carry all three. We're hiring a conductor, not a specialist.

The question you're already asking.

We own an agency. Why hire you?

Because an agency runs channels. It doesn't look at the sales process of a painting company, refine the quoting process, or take a referral partner for coffee. Nobody outsources that. Every good client Dilate has ever had pairs the agency with one person inside the business who owns the number. Our businesses get the same. Dilate builds the engine. You drive it, and the number is yours.

What you'll actually do.

Salt Coast Painting is your first big swing. It's brand new,



so you build the lead engine from nothing. We have already made an incredible start. Google Ads, SEO, landing pages, even offline activities, walking into a strata manager's office if that's what it takes. We don't care whether a channel is glamorous, we care that it produces. Early on you'll be close enough to the phones to listen to the booking and quoting process. That's deliberate, and it's a phase, not the job. You'll feel every lead convert so you know exactly what works, then the phones go to the operator and you stay on the pipeline.

Online Creative Dudes is growing quickly and needs campaign support and lead flow so it can scale also.

Exit Forward needs founders. You'll build the landing pages, write the ad copy, and produce content of Tom and Bodie talking to the camera, and eventually get in front of it yourself if you're up for it. When we're in acquisition mode you'll run the outbound too: prospect lists, sequences in our voices, and keeping the accountants and brokers who refer us deals warm. You book the meetings, we do the deals.

And across all of it, you own the CRM. Every lead from every source lands in it, nothing gets missed, and the numbers stay honest. That's owning the system, not doing everyone's data entry.

The setup.





You'll sit inside Dilate's Fremantle office, surrounded by specialists in every discipline you can imagine. Tap them whenever you need. But be clear, you own the outcome. Dilate supports. You deliver. You report directly to Bodie and Tom, and we run on an EOS Traction operating system , so you'll have a scorecard, a weekly Level 10 and quarterly Rocks. You'll always know how you're going.

Who fits.

You've generated leads with your own hands and you can prove it. You're across the channels, paid, organic, email, and even some guerilla style out of home. You use AI tools every day and it shows in your output. You'd rather own a number than write a strategy about one. You hit a wall and find a way through. You've got a car and a licence, because some of this happens in the real world. You're in Perth with the right to work in Australia.

What's in it for you.

You'll learn the whole game here. Paid, organic, offline, pipeline, and how businesses actually get bought and built. You'll be close to the founders and close to the deals. As the group grows, this becomes a function, and you're the one who builds it and eventually hires into it.

To apply.

Send a short note and answer these three.

One, walk us through a lead engine you built from scratch. What was there before, what did you build, what did it produce?

Two, you're handed a brand-new painting company. Solid trade, no marketing at all. What are the first three things you do in week one?

Three, what's your AI stack, and show us something you built or automated with it that did the work of an extra hire.
