Emerge Career (YC S22) Is Hiring a Founding Growth Marketer

All-in-one re-entry & workforce development training platform

We are looking for our first AI-forward growth marketer who wants to outperform entire marketing teams.

The engine is already running. You'll inherit real traction and real data, not a blank slate. You'll own the acquisition channels that bring students to Emerge at scale—SEO, paid search, out-of-home, channel partnerships, content, and attribution across all of it—while working closely with teammates who own storytelling, field marketing, and partner relationships. Your job is to figure out where the highest-leverage opportunities are and go after them.

This is not a role for someone who wants to manage agencies, fill briefs, or wait for approvals. We believe that one exceptional person, armed with AI-native workflows and genuine creative conviction, can outperform a traditional marketing team. You'll build automated pipelines that generate, test, and optimize creative at a scale no single person could match manually. And you'll do it while deeply understanding the audience—low-income adults, mid-20s to mid-40s, many formerly incarcerated, most mobile-first—because the best growth marketer for Emerge won't just be great at running campaigns, they'll have real empathy for the people on the other end of them.

If you're obsessed with performance, energized by ownership, and genuinely excited about building the acquisition engine for a mission that changes lives, you will thrive here.

Emerge Career is making a dent in poverty. We are powering the skilled trades revolution, serving those who have been left behind by the system. If you want to put your fingerprints on something that actually changes lives, we'd love to hear from you.
