Emerge Career, the Y Combinator S22 alumni, posted its first AI‑forward growth marketer role. The hire will inherit live acquisition data and own channels such as SEO, paid search, out‑of‑home, and partner referrals to drive student enrollment. Unlike agency‑centric positions, the role expects a single operator to outpace an entire traditional marketing team. The team shows measurable traction, delivering thousands of enrollments via existing campaigns.

The position targets candidates who combine deep empathy for low‑income adults, many formerly incarcerated, with proven expertise in paid acquisition, SEO, or channel marketing. Applicants must be AI‑native, running automated creative‑testing pipelines, version‑controlled workflow repos, and self‑updating dashboards. Success is measured by granular attribution that isolates which creative, channel, and touchpoint actually converts a student, and can scale them across mobile‑first audiences.

Emerge expects the marketer to act as an autonomous product owner, launching MVP campaigns, iterating fast, and reporting plainly without sugar‑coating results. The role demands 60‑plus hour weeks, reflecting the nonprofit’s mission to scale education for a population traditionally ignored by tech marketers. Emerge will directly shape the acquisition engine that fuels its impact, and will report outcomes to the board quarterly.
