Over the past year, we’ve seen exponential growth, both through direct-to-consumer adoption and growing demand from job platforms looking to embed our verified profiles to let their workers stand out. Given the strong traction and massive market opportunity, we’re making our first growth hire dedicated to this product line. This role will be the right hand to Checkr’s Co-founder and Head of Checkr Personal. You will be instrumental in shaping and scaling our growth.

This is a high-leverage opportunity to help scale a new product line inside a profitable, fast growing company.

A fast-paced and collaborative environment: feels like a startup, but backed by the scale, resources, and reach of Checkr. What you’ll do Own the growth engine: Design, run, and evolve our growth strategy, spanning acquisition, activation, and retention. Move fast: Launch experiments across paid, organic, referral, and product channels; scale what works and drop what doesn’t.

Find leverage: Identify new channels, loops, and creative bets that unlock step-changes in user growth. Collaborate deeply: Partner with product, design, and engineering to make growth part of the product experience. Measure what matters: Track CAC, retention, LTV, and virality, but focus on learning velocity and compounding results.

A generalist with experience across acquisition, lifecycle, and product-led growth. Comfortable getting scrappy: you test, learn, talk to users, and build without waiting for process or polish. Analytical and creative in equal measure: you can go from SQL to campaign copy and Figma mock in a single day. Excited by ambiguity and speed. Curious about AI-driven growth and automation tools.
