Growth Hacking Consultant: Senior Operators Who Run the Experiment Engine
Senior growth hacking consultants for product-led SaaS, DTC, and venture-backed companies. Each has run an experimentation engine and carried a growth number. Acquisition, activation, conversion-rate optimization, lifecycle and retention, referral loops, and the analytics that prove what works. A senior operator running the tests from day one, not a strategy deck and a handoff.

Why teams hire Chameleon growth hacking consultants
An experiment engine, not a list of tactics
Growth hacking is not a bag of tricks. Our consultants build the engine: a prioritised backlog of experiments across acquisition, activation, conversion, and retention, run at high tempo, measured honestly, and scaled when they win. The hacks come and go. A repeatable testing engine is what compounds.
Every consultant has carried a growth number
Each growth hacking consultant has owned a growth or performance function, built the funnel, and been accountable for the metrics. You work directly with that senior operator, grounded in what actually moves acquisition and retention, not a junior team running someone else's playbook.
Data and conversion at the core
Real growth hacking lives in the analytics. Our consultants instrument the funnel, find where it leaks, and optimize conversion stage by stage with structured testing. Every experiment ladders back to a metric, so you know which wins to scale and which to kill.
Why hire a growth hacking consultant from Chameleon Collective
Companies bring in a growth hacking consultant at predictable inflection points: an acquisition channel that has stopped scaling, an activation or onboarding step where users drop off, a retention curve that flattens too early, or a product with strong usage but no repeatable growth motion. Each pattern needs a different experiment, and most of all an operator who has actually built the growth engine they recommend.
Find the leak, then test the fix
Most growth help jumps straight to tactics. Ours starts with the funnel. We instrument acquisition, activation, conversion, and retention, find where the biggest leaks are, and build a prioritised experiment backlog against them. Then we run the tests at tempo and let the data decide. When the funnel is clear, every experiment gets sharper and cheaper.
An engine the team can run
A growth strategy that lives in a deck changes nothing. We design the engine alongside the operating rhythm that delivers it: the experiment backlog, the analytics and optimization loop, the lifecycle and referral programs, and the weekly cadence that keeps the team shipping tests. The output is a growth engine the team can run on a Monday morning, not a one-time audit.
What our growth hacking consultants cover
- Acquisition experimentation, channel testing across paid search, paid social, and emerging channels, with budget shifted to what compounds.
- Conversion-rate optimization, landing-page, onboarding, and checkout testing to lift conversion at every stage of the funnel.
- Activation and onboarding, the first-run experience and the activation milestones that turn signups into engaged users.
- Lifecycle and retention, email, SMS, and in-program flows, segmentation, and the retention experiments that raise lifetime value.
- Referral and viral loops, the mechanics that turn existing users into a growth channel.
- Analytics and instrumentation, event tracking, funnel reporting, and the data hygiene that makes experiments trustworthy.
- Experiment operating cadence, the prioritised backlog, the weekly test rhythm, and the win-or-kill discipline that keeps velocity high.
- Interim and fractional leadership, a senior growth operator in the seat to run the engine while the permanent hire is found.

Frequently asked questions
Common questions from teams evaluating a growth hacking consultant.
They build and run an experiment engine across your funnel. That means instrumenting acquisition, activation, conversion, and retention; finding where the funnel leaks; building a prioritised backlog of experiments; running them at tempo; and scaling the winners. It is growth by structured testing, not by a fixed playbook.
An agency usually runs paid acquisition. A growth hacking consultant works the whole funnel, including activation, conversion, retention, and referral, and builds the analytics and operating cadence that make experimentation repeatable. Every senior consultant has built the engine, not just bought media.
Both. The strategy comes with an operating engine, and our consultants can stay in an interim or fractional capacity to run the experiment backlog while a permanent hire is found. You are not left with a plan and no one to ship the tests.
A focused funnel diagnostic runs about two weeks. The first experiments typically launch inside the first few weeks, with a weekly test cadence after that. Growth hacking is a high-tempo discipline; you should see experiments shipping quickly.
Yes. A large part of the work is making your existing stack trustworthy: clean event tracking, sound funnel reporting, and optimization tooling you can rely on. We instrument what you have before recommending anything new, because experiments are only as good as the data behind them.
Directly. Chameleon Collective is a senior-only collective. The consultants you interview are the consultants who run the engagement, with the wider Collective bench behind them. No pyramid, no offshore delivery.
