Job Description

About the role

As a Growth Operations Lead, you will help build and activate the contributor network needed for our AI projects.

You will work at the intersection of growth, operations and contributor acquisition. You will help translate project requirements into clear job ads and sourcing strategies, launch acquisition campaigns, identify relevant contributors and improve the journey from first contact to project activation.

You will report to Manon Pagnucco, GTM Lead, and work closely with Lucas Weston Smith, Product & Operations Lead, Project Leads and the wider JT AI Labs team.

This is a hands‑on individual contributor role. We are not looking for a traditional internal recruiter, and we are not looking for a pure growth marketer.

  • Launch acquisition initiatives through LinkedIn, Talent Match, CRM campaigns, professional communities, referrals, universities, multilingual forums and other relevant channels.
  • Use targeted sourcing techniques, including talent mapping and personalised outreach, selectively when a project requires a specific or hard-to-reach contributor profile.
  • Adapt campaigns to specific languages, countries, areas of expertise, availability and project requirements.
  • Create clear and engaging messages that encourage relevant contributors to apply and participate.
• Improve contributor operations and experience
  • Support the contributor journey from first contact to application, qualification, onboarding and first completed project.
  • Work with Operations and Product to identify friction points and improve workflows and onboarding.
  • Use contributor feedback to improve job ads, messages, campaigns and processes.
  • Document successful approaches and turn them into simple, repeatable playbooks.
• Track and improve performance
  • Monitor key funnel metrics, including applications, qualification, activation, conversion, retention and acquisition cost.
  • Identify drop-offs and suggest practical improvements.
  • Run small experiments across channels, messages, audiences and geographies.
  • Share clear insights with the JT AI Labs team and contribute to operational decisions.

Qualifications

• You have 2 to 5 years of experience in growth operations, acquisition, direct sourcing, recruitment operations, community growth, marketplace operations or a related field.
• You have hands‑on experience building or improving a user, contributor, talent or community funnel.
• You are comfortable sourcing niche, multilingual or hard‑to‑reach profiles through direct outreach and talent mapping.
• You know how to write clear job ads, outreach messages and campaign content.
• You are comfortable using tools such as LinkedIn, CRM platforms, talent databases, matching
