About the role

Growth Operations Lead to architect and scale strategic growth initiatives driving revenue, product adoption, and market leadership for Handshake AI. Role blends hands-on execution with strategic roadmap ownership, collaborating across Product, Engineering, Operations, and GTM, with close alignment to the San Francisco team and core U.S. hours.

Responsibilities

  • Own critical growth initiatives from strategy through execution, partnering closely with Product, Engineering, Operations, and GTM.
  • Design and run scalable growth systems and data-driven experiments, optimizing the funnel from acquisition to activation.
  • Synthesize product, market, and operational data to surface opportunities and drive prioritization.
  • Work directly with leadership to define success metrics and drive accountability across growth workstreams.
  • Solve ambiguous, high-priority problems with a structured, data-first approach, building playbooks and systems from zero to one as we scale.

Qualifications

  • 3-4+ years in growth, product, strategy, or operations at a fast-paced tech company, ideally in strategy/ops-heavy environments (marketplaces, logistics, on-demand, or AI products) at early-stage or high-growth startups.
  • A track record of owning growth initiatives end-to-end, including designing experiments with measurable outcomes.
  • Advanced data skills (SQL or Python) and familiarity with BI tools, funnel metrics, and KPI tracking.
  • Strong problem-solving and communication skills, with the ability to operate autonomously and influence cross-functionally without direct authority.
  • An entrepreneurial, bias-for-action mindset - comfortable with ambiguity and building from scratch.
  • Bachelor's degree required; engineering background strongly preferred, top-20 university or MBA a plus.
