About the Company

Our partner is a fast-growing applied AI research lab that produces expert-level training data for the world's leading AI labs.

Manage a network of domain experts producing the data, and run quality assurance and quality checks.
Proactively identify high-value datasets by tracking industry news and research.

Requirements

3+ years of experience, with the ability to own client relationships independently end to end.
A background such as top-tier banking or consulting, an entrepreneurial or founder track record, an early-stage startup operator role, or a technical or research (software engineering, computer science, or AI/ML) background.
High agency and a strong bias to action under ambiguity.
Fast learner who can keep pace with a rapidly evolving field.
Strong work ethic and stamina for a demanding, project-based environment.
Exceptional attention to detail in client-facing work.
