From autonomous vehicles and robotics to sports and healthcare, we're solving AI's hardest problem: turning complex, real-world data into production-ready intelligent systems.\nWe're a team of founders, scientists, quants, researchers, and former Olympians, who’ve helped build some of the most successful companies in Silicon Valley, and alumni of MIT, Stanford, UC Berkeley, Oxford, Cambridge, and Imperial. We’ve raised $110M from legendary technology investors, early backers of companies like Databricks, ElevenLabs and Vercel, and we’re growing at an extraordinary pace.\nWe're looking for exceptional people who want to help build a category-defining company, operating with high urgency and taking real ownership to help shape the future of AI.\nThe role\nThis is an opportunity to own multiple components of our growth function in one of Encord's fastest-growing markets: from our billboards or campaigns on X, to our exec dinners, founder PR or flagship annual summit. You'll have a founder-mentality, move with relentless urgency, and own outcomes rather than tasks.\nIf you want to start a company one day, or already have, this is a chance to help build a hyper-growth GTM function from 0 to 1. You'll own important growth outcomes for the company, work directly with leadership and our founders, and get as much scope as you can handle (as fast as you can earn it). Our team is small and we all roll up our sleeves, from packing hundreds of swag boxes, to cold outbounding a famous podcast to book our founders an interview.\nSome of what you could own in your first months:\nGrowth hacks: come up with scrappy, creative ways to get in front of the AI leaders at the companies we most want to work with\n\nA bold IRL launch: take an out-of-home campaign or stunt in New York or SF from idea to street, owning the concept, budget, locations and distribution\n\nExecutive dinners: own multiple exec dinners with the AI teams at the companies we most want to work with; own pipeline goals and oversee the logistics\n\nContent and PR: own the ideation, budget, schedule and distribution of high-value content that reflects our leadership in the space\n\nWhat you'll do\nOwn Encord's growth end-to-end, helping pick the bets, own the execution and achieve ambitious growth goals for the company\n\nBecome the Encord product and customer expert - you'll know our customers by name, deeply understand why leading AI teams choose Encord and how to accelerate our growth\n\nTake full ownership of projects as you prove yourself, coming up with your own ideas for how Encord can grow and executing on them\n\nHelp build an exceptional growth team that delivers on larger and larger outcomes, as we rapidly scale\n\nOwn the outcome: examine the performance of what we're delivering, track results and proactively identify what's working/not working (and quickly adapt)\n\nWho we're looking for\n4+ years in a high-velocity environment: starting a company as a founder, top-tier banking or investing, early hire at a hyper-growth startup, or similar.\n\nHigh-agency and founder-mentality: you have a strong sense of self-initiative and always find a creative solution around obstacles where others get stuck\n\nEager for a non-linear growth path (and driven to put in the work needed to achieve it)\n\nCustomer-centric and sales-focused: you want to deeply understand how our business works, why our customers choose Encord and what makes a 'great' Encord customer; you want to learn to speak the language of our market and be respected by customers/prospects, have them on speed-dial\n\nRuthlessly focused on results: you set and internalize our north start metrics and goals, and refuse to spend time on 'vanity' tasks or initiatives that don't help us make progress\n\nYou want to roll up your sleeves: you know most of the work required to grow a company is not glamorous, and you deeply care to do a great job on every sub-component required to get to the result\n\nYou're curious, and always hunting for, new avenues for growth: you want to find new S curves for the company and can juggle 'always on' with bold new bets\n\nEvidence that you make important outcomes happen & can pull others along with you: events, projects, campaigns, or businesses you drove yourself\n\nWhy Encord\nGenerational opportunity to shape how AI will develop in the real-world\n\nCompetitive salary, commission, and meaningful equity in a hyper-growth startup\n\nClear, accelerated growth opportunities as the company scales rapidly\n\nStrong in-person culture in our East Village (NY - just launched), Jackson Square (SF), and Soho (London) offices: +4 days/week\n\nDaily team lunches & dinners\n\nAnnual learning & development budget\n\nComprehensive health, dental, and vision coverage\n\nUS employees: 18 paid vacation days plus US public holidays\n\nUK employees: 25 paid vacation days plus bank holidays\n\nFrequent travel opportunities across the U.S., London, and Europe\n\nBi-annual company offsites & monthly socials\n\nOperating principles\nHigh agency\nYou see something broken, you fix it or find the person who can. We celebrate the people who solve 90% of a problem before anyone asks.\nBuild with care & urgency\nWe bear-hug the customer. Former founders and people from fast-moving, high-stakes environments thrive here.\nSelf-aware & hungry\nWe stay warm, self-aware, and genuinely hungry. We elevate our peers, and ego doesn't last long.\nInvent in real time\nWe move toward the ambiguity. We’re pragmatic, resourceful, energized by the fact that there's no playbook.\nIf you're looking to do the most meaningful work of your career alongside people who push you to be better, we'd love to meet you.","description_format":"text","description_chars":5906,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Equity","Growth opportunities"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["MLOps","AI Training Data & Annotation"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-11-09T01:51:01Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":69,"reasons":["conf:4","win:early"],"computed_at":"2026-11-12T10:38:37Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/encord-growth-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/encord-growth-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-12T23:47:43Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":50244,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-13T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":557},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=557"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fencord-growth-lead"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fencord-growth-lead"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fencord-growth-lead"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/encord-growth-lead\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fencord-growth-lead"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3949876}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"encord.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3949876},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
