  • Develop and execute strategic projects for direct bottom-line impact - think of new opportunities, run experiments, and work cross-functionally to plan and execute innovative solutions around quality acquisition and cost reduction.
  • Design and implement programs intended to increase the number of top-of-funnel applicants above and beyond those we bring in through paid marketing campaigns.
  • Partner closely with the Success and Fulfillment teams to ensure independent contractors are in the right place at the right time, providing a high level of service to customers.  

Your Areas Of Expertise:

  • At least 4 years of work experience in strategy consulting, investment banking or operations at a tech startup or marketplace company.
