Save Job

About us At Pareto.AI, we’re on a mission to enable top talent around the world to participate in the development of cutting‑edge AI models.

In coming years, AI models will transform how we work and create thousands of new AI training jobs for skilled talent around the world. We’ve joined forces with top AI and crowd researchers at Anthropic, Character.AI, Imbue, Stanford, and University of Pennsylvania to build a fair and ethical platform for AI developers to collaborate with domain experts to train bespoke AI models.

About this role The Head of Expert Growth owns Pareto's expert supply: sourcing, screening, qualification, onboarding, allocation, retention, and pricing strategy. You’ll build systems and processes that ensure Delivery always has access to high‑quality experts with the right skills at the right cost.

This is not a traditional recruiting role. You’re building a

growth engine

for expert supply—designing experiments, analyzing conversion funnels, optimizing for both speed and quality, and creating scalable systems that work across dozens of expert profiles and hundreds of projects.

Qualifications Required

6+ years in growth, marketplace operations, talent acquisition, or related roles with increasing scope

Experience building supply‑side growth systems required:

Expert marketplaces (e.g., Alpha sites), data companies (e.g., Scale AI), gig economy platforms (e.g., DoorDash, Uber driver growth), or similar two‑sided marketplaces

Track record of designing and optimizing growth funnels: sourcing, screening, onboarding, activation

Strong analytical skills: comfortable with metrics, cohort analysis, experiment design, funnel optimization

Demonstrated ability to: Build scalable systems and processes, not just manually recruit

Balance speed and quality (fast hiring without quality is useless)

Design compensation and incentive structures

Use data to drive decisions and continuous improvement

Experience managing teams (even small ones) and building cross‑functional partnerships

High ownership and bias to action: you experiment, learn, and iterate quickly

Excellent communication skills: can translate between data/metrics and business strategy

Nice to Have

ML/AI domain knowledge or strong interest in learning

Experience recruiting or engaging specialized/technical talent (PhDs, domain experts, engineers)

Background in HR tech, ATS/CRM systems, or recruiting operations

Experience with crowdsourcing platforms or distributed workforce management

Familiarity with data labeling, annotation work, or AI services

Network in relevant expert communities (academic, professional, technical)

Key Responsibilities

Own Expert Growth Strategy & Operating Model

Build Sourcing & Screening Systems

Own Expert Onboarding & Activation

Manage Expert Roster, Allocation & Utilization

Own Expert Compensation & Pricing Strategy

Drive Expert Retention & Quality

Lead & Develop the Expert Growth Team

Cross‑Functional Partnership & Data‑Driven Optimization with Delivery, Sales and Account Management, and Finance

Why this Role Matters Pareto’s promise to customers—high‑quality data, on time— is only possible if we have the right experts available when we need them. Too slow to fill roles, and we miss revenue opportunities or delay customer projects. Too focused on speed without quality, and we damage customer trust and waste Delivery’s time managing underperformers.

As Head of Expert Growth, you’re building the supply engine that powers Pareto’s business. You’ll design systems that find specialized experts who are nearly impossible to source at scale, create experiences that make them want to work with us, and build processes that keep them engaged and performing well.

This isn’t traditional recruiting. Its growth hacking meets marketplace operations meets talent strategy. The best people in this role are deeply analytical, creatively experimental, and obsessed with building systems that scale.

What We Value: We hire people who take pride in their work, can take something and run with it end‑to‑end, ask good questions proactively, and have a good attitude. We’re building a team of A‑players, not protecting mediocre performers. We establish clear standards and hold everyone accountable to them.
