Growth Development Director

The Company You'll Join

It is our mission to create an exceptional firm that betters the world of work. Veris Insights is a recruiting intelligence and analytics firm dedicated to helping University Recruiting and Talent Acquisition leaders attract, engage, and recruit top talent.

Through research, analytics, and leader-focused programs, we provide actionable insights, cutting‑edge tools, and collaborative experiences. We advise and support 250+ Fortune 1000 companies on their hardest recruiting issues – diversity and inclusion, recruiting events, candidate preferences, competitor practices…etc.

We are a values‑driven company, and member value is paramount. Simultaneously, we seek to build a remarkable company ourselves. We practice what we study and dedicate ourselves to creating a welcoming home for exceptionally talented people.

The Role We’re Looking to Fill

As Veris Insights accelerates its growth, we’re seeking a dynamic, strategic leader to own the next chapter of our go‑to‑market expansion. This role sits at the heart of our growth engine—responsible for driving pipeline generation, optimizing our sales motion, and scaling a world‑class Growth Development (GDA) function.

You’ll report directly to our Chief Growth Officer, partnering closely with leaders across Account Advising, Marketing, Service, and Partnerships to align strategy, execution, and outcomes.

We're looking for a commercially minded builder and visionary leader—someone who thrives in high‑growth, entrepreneurial environments and is energized by designing new strategies, breaking records, and developing the next generation of commercial talent. This isn’t about following a playbook; it’s about writing the next one.

Who You Are

You’re a strategic, people-centered growth leader who thrives in a fast-moving, entrepreneurial environment. You lead with empathy and integrity, inspire excellence in others, and take full ownership for results. You bring both a builder’s mindset and a coach’s heart—energized by the challenge of developing talent, refining systems, and pushing boundaries to achieve record-breaking outcomes.

Strategic & Driven

You pair vision with execution—able to diagnose challenges, design elegant solutions, and drive measurable impact.

Collaborative & Insightful

You build trusted partnerships across Growth, Marketing, and RevOps, aligning strategy and systems to generate opportunity and value.

Innovative & Adaptive

You rethink traditional growth models, leveraging data, creativity, and experimentation to elevate quality over volume.

Coaching-Oriented

You take pride in developing early‑career professionals, fostering accountability, curiosity, and confidence.

Operationally Excellent

You bring deep familiarity with CRM and enablement tools (e.g., Salesforce, HubSpot, Outreach) and uphold high standards of data integrity and process design.

Communicative & Influential

You articulate ideas with clarity and conviction—whether coaching a teammate, aligning a cross‑functional initiative, or connecting with the market.

• Define and lead Veris Insights’ opportunity and pipeline generation strategy—designing intentional, customized, and relationship‑driven approaches that prioritize quality, personalization, and meaningful engagement.

• Build and evolve playbooks, messaging, and enablement tools that strengthen personalization, storytelling, and credibility in every interaction.
• Champion the Growth Development career path and entry‑talent accelerator program, nurturing emerging leaders through coaching, skill‑building, and high‑impact development experiences.
• Foster a performance mindset grounded in insight, creativity, and accountability, ensuring success through thoughtful strategy and disciplined execution.

The Requirements

The Nice‑to‑Haves

The Compensation and Benefits Package

Please keep in mind : Research has shown that candidates from underrepresented backgrounds only apply to jobs when they meet 100% of the requirements vs. their majority counterparts, which apply at a much higher rate if they meet 50-60% of the requirements. So, with that being said, if you are interested in the role, we would love to hear how you can leverage your talents to be an awesome culture add.

Our Values & Culture, In Brief

Talent is in our DNA. It is what we study, who we serve, and the quality we most pride ourselves on internally. In order for our team members to be at their best, we provide individualized benefits and support. At the most basic level, benefits include unlimited PTO, health insurance benefits, and career development opportunities. We believe a well‑rounded and diverse team is the key to our success. To provide the widest range of experiences and perspectives in our member service and internal culture, we never discriminate on the basis of race, religion, national origin, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, age, or marital, veteran, or disability status. Please let our recruiter know if there are any accommodations we can provide for you to ensure an equitable and comfortable recruitment process.

We highly value diversity, equity, and inclusion, and this shows up in everything we do. Our research has a significant focus on the experiences of candidates from diverse backgrounds. Internally, we have Employee Resource Groups for BIPOC and LGBTQ+ employees, and Affinity Groups to support women and neurodiversity. Furthermore, we’ve established a Diversity Council to promote a workplace environment that is safe, respectful, and inclusive for all and acts as an active partner to People Ops and Leadership in service of our broader firm‑wide DEI goals.
