Growth Associate
$80k - $110k USD
AfterQuery is hiring a Growth Associate 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, operational excellence, and distribution.
