Full Job Description
AfterQuery is hiring Growth Associates to architect and scale the expert supply engine powering frontier AI training. You will own both manual and automated acquisition pipelines to grow our expert network from 100K to hundreds of thousands and beyond. This role blends GTM automation engineering, talent acquisition, marketing, conference planning, partnership building, purchasing, and distribution.

This is not a typical "growth" role. It is an operational, and strategic position working directly with our founding team. You will design scalable systems, run experiments, recruit elite experts and operators, build automation stacks, represent AfterQuery at conferences and panels, and drive brand amplification / marketing initiatives.

  • Leverage LinkedIn and similar platforms to identify and bring on professionals from diverse industries
  • Lead purchasing efforts in the up and coming data acquisition field
  • Expand AfterQuery's Conference footprint
  • Expand Campus Partnership efforts with elite universities and MBA/PHD programs
  • Collaborate with Marketing to improve brand awareness and social media strategy
  • Work hand in hand with Engineering on Product Design Optimization


Required Qualifications
  • Experience scaling talent networks or marketplaces, recruiting, or outbound sales/lead generation
  • Scrappiness, thriving in ambiguity, and being able to overcome bottlenecks on the fly
  • Demonstrated track record of elite operational execution
  • Analytical rigor; comfort with funnel modeling and pipeline analytics
  • Exceptional written and verbal communication
  • Evidence of high agency, resourcefulness, and competitive drive


Preferred Qualifications
  • Proficiency with GTM tooling (Clay, Instantly, Apollo, Zapier, scripts, scrapers)
  • Willingness to operate in a 5-6 day startup cadence
  • Passion for frontier AI and ambition to build category-defining systems
