Growth Manager, US

Build the US growth engine that makes Spott the name every US recruitment agency knows.

About Spott

Recruitment is a $1 trillion+ industry still running on outdated software, and the biggest players are slow to change. Spott is the reset: the first AI-native recruitment platform, one ATS & CRM where agencies manage candidates, clients and jobs, so they close more placements and help people find the right job faster. Backed by Y Combinator and Balderton, headquartered in Leuven, with offices in New York and Sydney, we already work with 500+ agencies in 30+ countries.

The role

As Spott's Growth Manager for the US, you'll own how US agencies get to know us through people: events, partners, influencers and communities. You'll take what works in Europe, adapt it to the US market and find what comes next. You'll be part of our GTM team, working closely with US team in New York and GTM team in Leuven. The role is in-person at our New York office, with regular travel to events across the US.

What you’ll do

• Bring Spott to the right US events, podcasts and webinars, and make sure each one turns into real conversations with agencies.
• Build real relationships with US recruitment influencers, communities and rec2rec firms, and turn them into partners who bring agencies to us.
• Create marketing content that speaks to US recruiters, from case studies to marketing stunts and socials.
• Analyse the US partnership landscape, spot new opportunities and execute on the best ones.
• Build our US growth playbook as Spott scales, using AI and automation to do more with a small team.

What we’re looking for

• Proven experience managing stakeholders, events and community building.
• Native or fluent English, and the people skills to get partners excited and switch easily between organisers, sales and marketing teams.
• You own your projects end to end, keep many balls in the air and never let anything slip.
• You’re a fast learner who quickly gets how software and AI work, and comfortable using modern AI tools to boost your efficiency.
• Ambitious, hands-on and happy to roll up your sleeves at a startup.

What we offer

• A competitive salary plus generous stock options.
• The chance to build Spott’s US growth engine from the ground up at a fast-growing, YC-backed startup where speed and impact matter.
• Great team vibe with regular dinners, sports activities and international offsites.

Hiring process

1. Talent screening: your motivation to join Spott, what you're looking for next, and time for your questions.
2. Deep dive interview: how you handle growth day to day: choosing the right events, building relationships with partners, influencers and communities, and using AI to move fast.
3. Founders chat: your ownership mindset, how you'd shape growth in the US as Spott scales, and whether Spott is the right next step for you.
