Growth Operations Manager

Alignerr is where domain experts, engineers, and creators join to work on the projects that power frontier AI. Growth Operations keeps that engine running: we find the right people, launch new data projects fast, and make sure the work that comes back is good.

We're hiring a Growth Operations Manager based in the Minneapolis–Saint Paul area: a generalist who can pick up an ambiguous problem on Monday and ship a working system by Friday. You'll report to the Director of Growth Operations and work closely with engineering, product, legal, and delivery teams.

Location: Remote / Minneapolis, MN

• Turn client briefs into live projects, from scoping and decisions through contributor instructions and recruiting.
• Build and run sourcing and screening pipelines for specialized talent, across domains and languages.
• Dig into the data to find out why contributors drop off or quality slips, then work with product and engineering to fix it.
• Turn one-off work into templates, trackers, and playbooks that other people can run without you.
• Keep leadership informed on contributor supply, quality, and project health.

• 4–8 years in growth, operations, strategy, marketplace operations, recruiting operations, or a similar generalist role, ideally at a startup, scale-up, or established organization in the Twin Cities region.
• A track record of owning ambiguous, cross-functional projects from zero to shipped.
• Strong analytical skills: fluent in spreadsheets, comfortable with SQL or willing to learn fast, and able to make sense of large, messy datasets.
• Excellent written communication, with the ability to explain complex things simply.
• Good judgment on when to move fast and when to pull in legal, security, or quality.
• High ownership and a bias to action.

• Experience with marketplaces, talent platforms, crowdsourcing, or AI training data.
• Recruiting or sourcing experience at volume, including niche or technical talent.
• Multilingual ability or experience with global communities.
• Scripting or automation skills (for example Python, or AI tools to scale repetitive work).

• First 30 days: you've learned the platform and taken ownership of a defined workstream.
• First 90 days: you've independently launched a project or pipeline and moved a key metric.
• First 6 months: you're the go-to owner for a strategic area, with systems others can run.
