[Hiring] Director of AI Data Solutions @Pearl

Role Description

Pearl (the parent company of JustAnswer) is building a category-defining enterprise business at the intersection of AI and professional human expertise. One of our most important bets is AI Human Data Services: Expert data products that accelerate frontier model development.

• We need an AI data service entrepreneur/intrapreneur to discover maximum product-market fit.
• Build a durable product line: a repeatable set of data offerings, a world-class quality and evaluation system, and a delivery engine that frontier labs trust.
• This is not a quota-carrying sales role; it’s a product-and-operations leadership role with deep customer intimacy.

The ideal leader has either:

• Owned procurement/partnerships for custom AI training or evaluation data inside a major AI lab.
• Successfully brought to market high-end custom data programs at a leading data provider.

Qualifications

• AI data procurement/partnerships at a frontier lab, data product leadership, data operations, ML research operations, or senior roles at an AI data provider.
• Demonstrated experience building or operating high-quality human-data programs.
• Strong technical intuition: comfortable working with ML researchers and engineers.
• Strong contract and vendor maturity: familiarity with data rights, licensing, and confidentiality constraints.
• Comfort operating in high-ambiguity, high-velocity environments with lean start-up methods.
• Smart, fun, get-things-done.

Requirements

• Define and productize our AI Data Services portfolio.
• Build the delivery engine: staffing, workflows, tooling, QA loops, and automation.
• Establish Pearl’s quality bar and measurement system.
• Own customer outcomes: translate ambiguous research needs into precise task designs.
• Build data rights and licensing strategy in partnership with Legal.
• Create Pearl’s external credibility in expert data.

Benefits

• Remote work options available from various states.
• Pay transparency information provided upon application.
• Commitment to an inclusive workplace.
