Partner cross-functionally with delivery, operations, and program management teams to ensure client commitments are met and data quality/SLAs are maintained
Represent the voice of the client internally, shaping roadmap and delivery priorities based on the client's evolving AI data needs
Collaborate globally with delivery and leadership teams across regions to support a client relationship that may span multiple geographies and time zones
What We're Looking For
5-8 years of experience in client partnership, enterprise account management, or strategic sales roles, ideally supporting large technology or hyperscale accounts (experience with Magnificent 7 companies strongly preferred)
Based in or willing to work from the Seattle area or Bay Area
Demonstrated experience owning and growing enterprise accounts ($10M+ book of business)
Domain exposure to consumer social/product platforms (Facebook, Instagram, or similar) and/or AI research organizations — understanding of the different commercial and technical needs of each
Experience in AI/ML data services — training data, data annotation, RLHF, data labeling, or related data pipeline work — is highly preferred
Comfortable working across two distinct buyer types within the same account: product/consumer teams and frontier AI research teams
Strong presence with a track record of building trust with senior client stakeholders
Proven ability to lead commercial negotiations and structure complex enterprise agreements
A collaborative, hands-on operating style — this role blends strategic account ownership with day-to-day relationship management
Familiarity with Reality Labs, Superintelligence Labs, and Family of Apps
Ability to sell into Agentic AI, Internationalization, Multimodality, and Physical AI use cases
Nice to Have
Prior experience at or partnering closely with Magnificent 7 companies
Experience supporting AI research labs (e.g., foundation model training, RLHF, red-teaming, or safety data programs)
Experience scaling an account from an initial engagement into a multi-year, multi-domain strategic partnership
