We’re building a platform that powers the world's most powerful models in partnership with companies like OpenAI, Anthropic, Meta, and Google.\nAt Surge, we believe the path to AGI isn’t just about scaling compute-it’s about embracing the unlimited ceiling of human intelligence and creativity in the data that shapes these systems. Our platform combines elite human expertise with cutting-edge tools for scalable oversight, from building rich RL environments to conducting rigorous evaluations that go beyond benchmarks. We’ve run a profitable business from day one without raising venture funding.\nThe Role\nWe’re looking for a rare operator - someone who can walk in, figure out what needs to happen, build the plan, and execute it. No playbook required. You’ll own growth initiatives end-to-end across recruiting, reactivation, and new audience acquisition at Surge AI. You’ll work across functions, bring structure to ambiguous problems, and drive outcomes without hand-holding.\nWhat You’ll Own\nGM: You’ll own acquisition, reactivation, and retention efforts across contributor pools, with a relentless focus on quality. Partner with an Operational Owner to ensure volume and speed targets are met- consistently.\n\nPlatform engagement: Own the strategy and execution for increasing the amount of work done on the Surge platform - identifying levers, running experiments, and scaling what works.\n\nWorkforce recruiting: Define and lead the approach for acquiring specialized contributors - accountants, coders, and other skilled workers - through marketing and non-marketing channels (i.e. partnerships, conferences, community groups) alike.\n\nReactivation: Build and own the strategy to re-engage lapsed workforce segments, from diagnosis through execution and iteration.\n\nCross-functional project management: Manage assigned initiatives from kickoff to outcome, aligning stakeholders across teams without losing momentum.\n\nChannel experimentation: Test and learn across paid, organic, partnerships, and non-marketing levers for each problem you own. Know what’s working and double down.\n\nWhat We’re Looking For\nRequired\nStrong data and analytical skills: You make decisions from data. You can pull your own numbers, build models, identify trends, and communicate their meaning to any audience. This is a hard requirement.\n\nAI / LLM knowledge: You have familiarity with the AI ecosystem - how models are built, evaluated, and improved - and can speak credibly to the space.\n\nPaid and organic channel experience: You’ve run campaigns across both paid and organic channels and understand the tradeoffs between them.\n\nExceptional communication: You write clearly, speak concisely, and can align stakeholders across functions without anyone feeling out of the loop.\n\nComfort with ambiguity: You don’t wait for a perfect brief. You scope the problem, form a hypothesis, and get moving. You update as you learn.\n\nOwnership mentality: You track your work, manage your deadlines, and don’t let things slip. You close the loop without being asked.\n\nFast-paced by default: You’re energized (not drained) by a moving target. Changing priorities don’t derail you - they’re just part of the job.\n\nCross-functional fluency: You know how to work with product, ops, engineering, and leadership. You build trust quickly across teams.\n\nSenior-level experience: You’ve owned something end-to-end before. You know what “good” looks like because you’ve built it.\n\nNice to Have\nCoding ability or strong technical literacy\n\nTwo-sided marketplace or platform experience","description_format":"text","description_chars":3783,"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":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-25T14:29:29Z"}],"liveness":{"score":11,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.408,"p_room":0.28,"age_days":74,"expected_fill_days":21,"reasons":["conf:13","win:tail","crowd:"],"computed_at":"2026-09-26T04:18:11Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/surge-ai-senior-growth-lead","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/surge-ai-senior-growth-lead.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-09-26T04:18:11Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","usage":{"tier":"crawler","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":4668,"day_limit":5000,"remaining_today":332,"minute_limit":60,"resets_at":"2026-09-27T00:00:00Z"}}}
