Job Description
About ScaleSource + The Role
ScaleSource helps U.S. companies hire high-quality remote team members from around the world.
We are not building a boring staffing company.
We are building focused, fast-moving vertical growth teams that can take one role, one niche, or one customer type and turn it into a contract-generating machine.
That is where you come in.
As a Vertical Growth Operator, you will own one ScaleSource vertical like it is your own mini-business.
You are the builder.
You are the operator.
You are the funnel owner.
You are the accountability driver.
You are the person making sure the damn thing actually produces contracts.
This role is part funnel builder, part automation nerd, part revenue operator, part recruiting coordinator, part team leader, and part entrepreneur.
You will be expected to build the system, track the numbers, improve the funnel, use AI and automation aggressively, coordinate sales and recruiting, and hit real contract targets.
This is not for someone who wants a perfect playbook.
This is for someone who can build the playbook while moving fast.
You will be able to add two team members to your pod as the vertical gets moving. Those team members may support sales, recruiting, marketing, operations, or fulfillment depending on what the vertical needs most.
The job is simple:
Build the vertical.
Generate leads.
Book qualified calls.
Build the candidate pool.
Help close contracts.
Track everything.
Fix what breaks.
Repeat until the machine works.
If that sounds exciting, keep reading.
If that sounds stressful, this probably is not your seat.
