About the Role
MeritFirst is building the infrastructure to make better talent allocation the default by providing objective, efficient ways for people to demonstrate critical thinking, problem-solving, and execution. We are seeking a Growth Lead to identify job categories where MeritFirst can become the premier talent discovery platform and attract exceptional candidates. This role involves transforming real work into compelling assessments, developing flagship programs and competitions, and collaborating with companies to leverage demonstrated ability for hiring.
Responsibilities
- Identify role categories with meaningful employer demand, large pools of overlooked talent, and skills that can be demonstrated objectively.
- Build relationships with founders, hiring managers, and talent leaders.
- Secure real opportunities and help companies understand how MeritFirst’s signal should inform their hiring decisions.
- Find and activate exceptional people through communities, referrals, partnerships, content, schools, trade programs, creators, and channels that do not resemble conventional recruiting.
- Work with our product team, assessment experts, hiring managers, and exceptional practitioners to turn popular roles into rigorous, efficient assessments and realistic work challenges.
- Create competitions, cohorts, showcases, and in-person or online events that ambitious candidates want to participate in and that employers pay attention to.
Requirements
- Unusually high-agency generalist who operates with extreme ownership and a maniacal sense of urgency.
- Ability to move between strategy, growth, partnerships, recruiting, operations, and storytelling.
- Experience building something from zero, not merely operating a mature channel or inheriting an existing playbook.
- Ability to persuade an exceptional candidate to bet on a new platform and a skeptical hiring leader to act on a new signal.
- Strong taste for programs, competitions, events, and experiences people genuinely want to join.
About the Company
- Better talent allocation has been a major source of American growth - when capable people reach the work where they can contribute most, workers rise and companies get more productive.
- MeritFirst is building the infrastructure to make that the default: objective, efficient ways for people to demonstrate critical thinking, problem-solving, and execution, so companies hire on demonstrated ability rather than pedigree alone.
