About Encord

Encord is the multimodal data layer for physical AI. Manage, curate, annotate, and align petabytes of data - from sensor streams to video to text. Trusted by 300+ AI teams including Woven by Toyota, AXA, UiPath, Zipline, and more. Backed by Y Combinator and CRV.

About the role

This is an opportunity to own multiple components of our growth function in one of Encord's fastest-growing markets: from our billboards or campaigns on X, to our exec dinners, founder PR or flagship annual summit. You'll have a founder-mentality, move with relentless urgency, and own outcomes rather than tasks. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

What they're looking for

  • 4+ years in a high-velocity environment: starting a company as a founder, top-tier banking or investing, early hire at a hyper-growth startup, or similar
  • High-agency and founder-mentality: you have a strong sense of self-initiative and always find a creative solution around obstacles where others get stuck
  • Eager for a non-linear growth path (and driven to put in the work needed to achieve it)
  • Ruthlessly focused on results: you set and internalize our north start metrics and goals, and refuse to spend time on 'vanity' tasks or initiatives that don't help us make progress
  • You want to roll up your sleeves: you know most of the work required to grow a company is not glamorous, and you deeply care to do a great job on every sub-component required to get to the result
  • You're curious, and always hunting for, new avenues for growth: you want to find new S curves for the company and can juggle 'always on' with bold new bets
