Sales & Growth Lead

Job Title: Sales & Growth Lead

Location: Remote

Company Overview:

Gratia is a tech-enabled superanalysts platform that provides on-demand, pre-vetted analysts to clients, and apprenticeship-as-a-service to analysts.

On the client side, Gratia delivers superanalysts-as-a-service — sourcing high-potential candidates, rigorously assessing their skills, matching them to appropriate roles, and continuously upskilling them through embedded apprenticeships. On the analyst side, Gratia is building a scalable, platform-based training ecosystem to level the playing field, allowing analysts to win opportunities based on capability and performance — not pedigree.

Gratia's differentiator lies in its dual commitment to quality and equity: our apprenticeship model ensures high retention and performance, while also unlocking grants and tax credits in the US and beyond.
