About this role
Role Overview
Drive high-value partnerships with AI labs and advanced ML organizations to improve frontier model performance through human data pipelines, evaluation systems, and reinforcement learning environments. This role combines technical discovery with commercial deal execution, influencing product direction and delivery across research, engineering, and operations.
Key Responsibilities- Source and close partnerships with AI labs and ML-driven organizations working on frontier models.
- Lead technical discovery across evaluation workflows, RLHF pipelines, and model improvement loops.
- Engage directly with research leads, ML engineers, and data teams to surface system-level constraints and requirements.
- Translate ambiguous research and engineering needs into well-scoped human data and evaluation programs.
- Structure and negotiate complex, high-value agreements involving data generation, annotation, and evaluation at scale.
- Collaborate with product, research, and operations to ensure delivery meets technical expectations.
- Drive expansion by integrating deeper into evaluation pipelines and RL environments.
- Provide clear, actionable signals on pipeline quality, deal risk, and market dynamics.
- Feed customer insights back into evaluation frameworks, product direction, and go-to-market strategy.
- Proven ability to communicate fluently with ML engineers and research teams, able to hold technical conversations even if not an engineer.
- Experience selling into AI/ML, developer tools, or other deeply technical products.
- Strong track record of closing complex, multi-stakeholder deals with both technical and commercial depth.
- Familiarity with model evaluation, RLHF, or reinforcement learning environments.
- Structured, hypothesis-driven approach to sales and problem solving.
- High agency and comfort operating in ambiguous, fast-moving environments.
Preferred
- Experience with human data pipelines, including labeling, evaluation, synthetic data, or RLHF workflows.
- Exposure to frontier model development or benchmarking systems.
- Prior work with AI labs, research organizations, or advanced ML teams.
- Understanding of enterprise procurement processes for high-value technical agreements.
- Skills explicitly referenced in source material: Client Acquisition, Outbound Prospecting, Enterprise Partnerships, Enterprise AI.
- Employment type: Full-time.
