tml Partners is honestly the most professional, welcoming, and inspiring place I've ever worked. I never thought I'd be able to find a recruitment business that could accommodate a working mum, make it ok to work part time, and also feel completely included in all business activities and goals.

Latest insights

FAQs

When should a company hire a Chief Growth Officer?

Organisations typically look to hire a Chief Growth Officer during periods of scaling, transformation, or when traditional growth channels have plateaued. If revenue growth has become fragmented across siloed teams — or if leadership needs a dedicated executive to own the full growth agenda — it’s a strong signal that a CGO appointment is warranted. Companies backed by private equity or in competitive market environments also frequently make this hire to accelerate commercial momentum.

How do you find and recruit a Chief Growth Officer?

Recruiting a Chief Growth Officer requires access to a specialist network, since the best candidates are rarely actively job-seeking. An executive search firm with expertise in commercial and revenue leadership can map the market, proactively approach passive candidates, and run a rigorous assessment process. tml Partners specialises in exactly this — using deep industry knowledge and a global network to identify and secure the right CGO for your organisation.

What industries typically hire Chief Growth Officers?

While the Chief Growth Officer role originated in the technology and SaaS sectors, it has since expanded across financial services, consumer markets, professional services, FMCG, life sciences, and B2B organisations. Any business where growth depends on aligning multiple commercial functions and driving measurable revenue outcomes is a strong candidate for a CGO hire.

Can tml Partners recruit a Chief Growth Officer on an interim basis?

Yes. tml Partners offers interim CGO recruitment for organisations that need growth leadership on a fixed-term or project basis — whether covering a gap between permanent hires, supporting a specific transformation programme, or testing the role before making a full-time appointment. Interim or Fractional Chief Growth Officer placements can often be activated faster than permanent searches and provide immediate commercial impact.

Why use a specialist headhunter to recruit a Chief Growth Officer rather than a generalist recruiter?

Chief Growth Officers are a rare and highly sought-after calibre of executive. Generalist recruiters typically rely on active job-seekers responding to advertised roles, which means they miss the majority of the best talent. A specialist headhunter like tml Partners proactively maps and approaches the passive market, brings sector-specific credibility to candidate conversations, and applies a rigorous assessment framework tailored to senior commercial roles. This results in a higher-quality shortlist, a faster process, and a better long-term hire.
