The Role

We’re hiring a Growth Associate to architect and scale the expert-supply engine that powers frontier AI training. You’ll own both manual and automated acquisition pipelines and grow the expert network from 100K into the hundreds of thousands.

• Build, optimize, and scale automated sourcing pipelines
• Use LinkedIn and similar platforms to identify and bring on professionals across industries
• Run many concurrent recruiting workflows to deliver qualified experts at high volume
• Experiment on funnel performance and double down on what scales
• Recruit elite experts and operators into the network
• Build the automation stack that makes all of this possible
• Drive brand amplification across channels

Clay, Instantly, Apollo, Zapier, plus custom scripts and scrapers.

Requirements

• A background scaling a talent network or marketplace, or a strong track record in outbound sales / lead generation
• Hands-on with modern GTM automation tooling (Clay, Instantly, Apollo, Zapier, and light scripting/scraping)
• Analytically rigorous — comfortable modeling funnels and reading pipeline analytics
• A demonstrated record of high-volume operational execution
• Genuine high agency, resourcefulness, and competitive drive, and comfort with an intense, fast-moving startup pace
• Strong written and verbal communication
• Roughly 1–3 years of relevant experience
