Growth Lead

About HUD

-------------

HUD is building infrastructure to create RL training data and evals for frontier AI agents, as well as a marketplace to sell these to frontier labs through the HUD marketplace. Our platform is used by frontier labs, Fortune 500 companies, and startups. We’ve raised $16M from top VCs and were YC W25.

About the role

------------------

We’re hiring a Head of Growth to help HUD meet the right people and evangelize our vision. This is the most unique role at HUD as “right people” could mean

• Candidates for hiring, the initial focus of this role
• AI engineers and researchers at events
• Key people at other AI companies and the broader AI ecosystem

This role isn’t growth in the traditional GTM sense

- though it could become that if you develop a large rolodex and enjoy sales. Where this role leads really depends on you!

Responsibilities

--------------------

• Telling HUD’s story and getting people excited about our vision through worldbuilding
• Finding, connecting, and meeting with candidates, AI engineers and researchers, and other key people in the AI ecosystem
• Define our culture and values, then screen candidates and develop an onboarding process for new hires based on them
• Work with the Chief of Staff to own end-to-end recruiting, including building and optimizing the systems (recruiting ops and tooling, automated workflows, etc.)
• Work with the Marketing & Events Lead to host community events, represent HUD at industry events, and create content
• Work with the GTM Engineers to find intros or connection pathways into high-priority leads

Experience

--------------

You may be a good fit if you have

• Genuine excitement about frontier models and telling HUD’s story - explain your interest in detail under “Why are you interested in working at HUD?”
• Experience finding and connecting with people in any context (e.g., recruiting or GTM)
• Strong soft skills - well-spoken, proba...
