Role: AI Growth Hacker

  • Location: Remote (global)
  • Reports to: Technology Enablement Manager

About the Role


We’re looking for a sharp and scrappy AI Growth Hacker to bring ambitious growth and automation ideas to life at Nexford. You'll work directly with the CEO, growth marketing, and cross-functional teams to co-create and execute smart, tech-enabled solutions that drive real impact — fast.

You’ll contribute to shaping the "what" and the "why" behind automation and growth experiments — applying structured thinking to identify where AI and technology can unlock speed, efficiency, or scale. Once an idea is clear, you’ll take full ownership of making it happen — using tools like Replit, Lovable, Make, and ChatGPT to build, test, and iterate rapidly.

This role is for someone who thrives in the messy middle between ideation and execution — a builder who can think and a thinker who ships.

What You’ll Do

  • Collaborate with the CEO and team leads to identify high-leverage opportunities for growth and automation
  • Help shape solutions through light design thinking: framing problems, asking the right questions, suggesting better approaches
  • Use AI tools and automation platforms to rapidly prototype and deploy solutions
  • Own the full execution cycle: from concept to working tool, script, or system
  • Stay on the pulse of emerging tools and tactics to keep us moving faster and smarter

Who You Are

  • 2–5 years’ experience in a fast-moving startup environment, ideally in growth, operations, or technical marketing
  • Strong familiarity with AI and automation tools — Replit, Lovable, ChatGPT, Zapier/Make, Notion AI, etc.
  • Basic working knowledge of Python and/or R is a plus — enough to adapt and run existing scripts
  • Problem-solver at heart — structured thinker who’s also a hands-on doer
  • Confident collaborating with leadership but just as comfortable rolling up sleeves and getting things done
  • Super tech-savvy, independent, and resourceful — you know how to figure things out

Why This Role Matters


At Nexford, we’re not just building a university — we’re building a smarter way to learn, work, and grow. We're effectively building the world's first truly AI-enabled university delivering high-quality yet affordable education to learners across the world! This role is your chance to help us scale faster by applying AI and automation where it matters most and accordingly to bring real positive impact to the world!
