Team Leader

This is a remote position.

Team Lead — High Performing Departments

Remote | Competitive Monthly Wage

About the Role

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.

About Us

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.

Responsibilities

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

Requirements

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

Benefits

What We Offer

• 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
