HireFT is an AI-powered global job application platform that helps job seekers discover relevant opportunities, and apply to jobs in a single click.

We're building a global job application engine for candidates across markets including the US, Canada, Australia, UK, EU, India and other international markets.

About the Role

We're looking for a highly entrepreneurial Growth Associate / Growth Hacker who can help us grow HireFT's user base rapidly through creative, unconventional and scalable distribution strategies.

This is not a traditional marketing role.

You'll be expected to experiment constantly, identify what works, and then scale the channels that generate users.

You will work across content, communities, social media, partnerships, creators, referrals, outreach and other growth channels.

What You'll Do

Identify and execute creative growth experiments to acquire new HireFT users

Build and grow distribution across platforms such as Reddit, LinkedIn, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Discord, Facebook groups, Telegram and other communities

Create short-form content around job hunting, resumes, interviews, layoffs, career growth and AI

Create both faceless and talking-head content, including screen recordings, product demos, voiceovers, educational content and trend-based content

Find and collaborate with career creators, influencers, student communities and career-focused organizations

Build and experiment with referral and viral growth loops

Research emerging platforms and unconventional acquisition channels

Analyze acquisition funnels and identify which channels produce high-quality users

Run multiple growth experiments every week and document results

Work closely with the founder to rapidly test and implement new growth ideas

What We're Looking For

We're looking for someone who is extremely internet-native, creative and execution-oriented.

You should:

Understand how social platforms and online communities work

Be comfortable creating and distributing content

Have excellent written English

Be comfortable with outreach and cold messaging

Have strong research skills

Be comfortable using tools such as Canva, CapCut and basic analytics platforms

Understand basic growth metrics such as CAC, conversion rate, activation and retention

Be proactive and capable of working independently

Be willing to experiment with unconventional ideas

Have a strong bias toward execution rather than simply planning

Bonus Points

You'd be a particularly strong candidate if you have:

Previously grown a startup, SaaS product, community or social-media account

Experience with Reddit or other online communities

Experience creating viral or high-performing short-form content

Experience working with influencers or creators

Experience with SEO/content marketing

Experience with referral or affiliate programs

Experience targeting international audiences

Experience in a startup or early-stage company

Built something yourself or run your own online project

What Success Looks Like

Your goal is to continuously increase the number of high-quality users coming to HireFT.

You'll be measured on outcomes such as:

New user acquisition

Activated users

Application activity

Organic/viral growth

Growth from new channels

Creator and partnership distribution

Conversion rates

Cost-efficient acquisition

We care more about users and growth than the number of posts, messages or campaigns you complete.

Who Should Apply?

This role is ideal for someone who thinks:

> “Give me a product and a target. I'll figure out how to get people to use it.”

You don't need to have worked at a large company.

If you've built a community, grown a social account, run a side project, created content, experimented with growth or simply have a track record of figuring things out on the internet, we'd like to hear from you.
