Job Description
If you enjoy turning complex AI data problems into simple, scalable solutions for demanding customers, this role will feel very familiar.
Our client is building AI and data solutions that power some of the most advanced AI workloads in the world, and you will own how those solutions are shaped, packaged and taken to market for key customers.
About our client
Our client is a global AI and data company that helps leading technology and enterprise organisations build and scale production grade AI.
They combine platforms, tools and a large expert community to deliver training data, evaluation, RLHF and multilingual AI solutions for complex, high impact use cases.
The work is global, fast moving and closely tied to the most strategic AI initiatives in their customers roadmaps.
The opportunity
In this role you will lead solution design and pre sales for the AI data and training portfolio.
You will work with LLM providers and enterprise AI teams to turn complex requirements into scalable, profitable solutions, and you will set the standards for quality and governance across key accounts.
What you will do
Lead solution design and pre sales for AI training data, RLHF, localisation and multimodal workflows with LLM providers and enterprise AI customers.
Work with sales, delivery, product, research, finance and legal to design solutions and proposals that are both technically robust and commercially sound.
Turn complex AI and data requirements into clear architectures, workflows and quality frameworks that delivery teams can execute reliably.
Define and champion quality, governance and risk management standards for AI training data, including labelling, evaluation and RLHF.
Support RFPs and large pursuits with structured responses, pricing options and customer workshops.
Act as a senior counterpart to key accounts, helping customers think through how to adopt AI data and GenAI solutions in a safe, scalable way.
Represent the organisation in senior level discussions about AI data, GenAI and solution strategy, both internally and with customers.
Coach and support people around you so that the organisation becomes stronger over time, not more dependent on you personally.
What you bring
To thrive in this role you will likely bring:
Experience operating at VP or Senior Director level in AI data, LLM, MLOps or a closely related field.
A track record of delivering outcomes such as winning complex AI data or GenAI deals, scaling repeatable solution patterns across customers, or standing up new AI data offerings.
Clear evidence of working with LLM providers, enterprise AI teams and senior commercial stakeholders on demanding AI initiatives.
Strong understanding of data labelling, annotation, localisation and RLHF workflows, and how they fit into broader AI development lifecycles.
Comfort working in a global, multi time zone and multi cultural environment where priorities and customer needs can shift quickly.
Strong communication skills with technical and non-technical stakeholders, including C-level.
It is a plus if you also have:
Experience from AI data vendors, LLM labs, evaluation or RLHF providers, or large cloud or platform environments.
Experience shaping pricing, margin and P and L for AI or data solutions.
Visible thought leadership in talks, panels or publications related to AI data, RLHF or evaluation.
Location and set up
US based, with a strong preference for the Bay Area. Other major tech hubs may be considered for exceptional profiles.
Hybrid or remote first, with some travel to customer and internal leadership meetings as needed.
Package
Competitive base salary in the region of USD 300,000.
Performance based bonus or OTE, with additional long term upside for strong and sustained performance.
