About the job
Location: New York, NY Work Model: Hybrid Industry: AI / human data (audio and voice) Compensation: $135K-$175K base, plus equity About the Company Our partner is an audio and voice focused human data company that operates more like a research lab than a services shop. Rather than building one-off custom data sets and never seeing them again, they create and own off-the-shelf data sets they can iterate on, guided by in-house research and product leadership. They partner long-term with leading research labs and major technology companies, and the work is deep, intentional, and squarely focused on quality. The Opportunity As a Data and Product Operations Lead, you will own data sets end to end, from conception through delivery, treating the data itself as the product. This is far more than delivery work. You will partner across product, research, engineering, and deployment to define goals for each data set, manage the project to a high quality bar, and problem-solve how the data will perform when used to train machine learning models. You will work in a small pod alongside a handful of teammates on each project, touching nearly every part of the business in a tight-knit, low-ego, and highly collaborative environment.
