CredLens is at an inflection point — and we're looking for the commercial leader who will help us define, shape, and win a market we're creating.
\n
The Chief Growth Officer will join our senior leadership team and own the full market-facing engine at CredLens: sales, marketing, communications, and web. This is not a role for someone who wants to inherit a playbook. It's a role for someone who wants to write one — and who has the experience, instincts, and drive to do it at a critical moment in our growth.
\n
We have built the infrastructure. We have the product. We have an early and growing client base. Now we need the leader who can take all of that and scale it.
\n
The Market We're Building
\n
Non-degree credentials are reshaping how people move from learning to earning. Millions of learners are pursuing certificates, bootcamps, and workforce programs as pathways to better jobs and higher wages. But growth has outpaced clarity.
\n
Thousands of offerings, uneven definitions, and fragmented outcomes data make it nearly impossible to distinguish impact from activity. When results are unclear, learners carry the risk, strong programs can't stand out, and investment can't reliably flow to what works.
\n
CredLens exists to fix that.
\n
We are a neutral, trusted source of high-quality outcomes data for non-degree credentials — connecting issuer-verified credential records to real-world employment, earnings, and education outcomes. Our partners use that data to improve programs, guide investment, and strengthen career pathways for learners.
\n
Two years in, we have a firmly established platform, a growing client base, and the backing of Strada Education Foundation. We are not a startup finding its footing. We are a company beginning to scale — and we are looking for the leader who will take us there.
\n
Key Responsibilities
\n
Own the integrated growth strategy across sales, marketing, and communications. Synthesize insights across market segments, deals, and partners to set commercial priorities, guide team focus, and inform product and go-to-market decisions. Define which customer segments, channels, and partnership models will drive CredLens from early traction to broad adoption — and sequence investments accordingly. This is a market-creation role as much as a market-capture role. The right leader will bring both the strategic clarity to see where the market is going and the operational discipline to build toward it.
"},{"text":"Fundraising Management (15%)","content":"Lead CredLens's fundraising strategy and execution in close partnership with the CEO, developing and managing a diversified funding pipeline across philanthropic and grant sources as earned revenue scales. Cultivate and steward relationships with funders, craft compelling cases for support that translate CredLens's mission and outcomes data into clear funder value, and partner with the CEO on major donor and board engagement. Build the systems and team capacity to support sustainable fundraising — and integrate that strategy with broader revenue and long-term sustainability planning.

Build a unified growth culture across both. Design onboarding and enablement so new sales hires can confidently pitch CredLens, run discovery, and assess fit quickly. Oversee execution quality across the engagement team, intervening selectively on complex or high-stakes opportunities.

Serve as a visible and credible ambassador for CredLens across the workforce development, credentialing, and higher education ecosystem.
"},{"text":"What Success Looks Like in Year One","content":"\n
Growth Strategy
\n
A clear, data-informed growth strategy is actively guiding decisions — with prioritized customer segments, channels, and partnership models tied to measurable targets. Revenue is on track to hit $2M in Year 1 with a credible path and early pipeline momentum toward $9M in Year 2. Investment sequencing reflects real market insights and is producing demonstrable movement from early traction toward broader adoption.
\n
Fundraising
\n
A diversified funding pipeline is established and actively managed. Relationships with key funders are deepening, compelling cases for support are in use, and the systems and processes to sustain fundraising alongside growing earned revenue are in place and running.
\n
Team & Pipeline
\n
The sales team is growing and well-enabled — new hires are onboarded quickly and confidently running discovery and pitching CredLens. A unified growth culture spans sales, marketing, and communications. The forecast is reliable and stress-tested. Sales process improvements are measurably reducing cycle friction, and pipeline health is visible at every stage without heroic manual effort.
\n
Communication & Cross-Functional Alignment
\n
Board materials are consistently concise, narrative-driven, and trusted. Sales, Marketing, Product, and Customer Success are operating with shared feedback loops and aligned on roadmap implications. CredLens's presence and credibility in the workforce development, credentialing, and higher education ecosystem is visibly growing.

Context
\n
Non-degree credentials are reshaping how people move from learning to earning. But growth has outpaced clarity. Thousands of offerings, uneven definitions, and fragmented outcomes data make it nearly impossible to distinguish impact from activity. When results are unclear, learners carry the risk, strong programs can’t stand out, and investment can’t reliably flow to what works.
CredLens is designed to address that need, as a source of high quality outcomes data and insights for non-degree credentials. We connect issuer-verified credential records to real-world employment, earnings, and education outcomes — delivering quality outcomes that partners can trust and use to improve programs, guide investment, and strengthen career pathways for learners.
CredLens has been operating for two years, and as we enter 2026 we have a firmly established platform and are generating insights for a growing number of clients.
