## About the role

This role mixes industrial partnerships with hands-on data ops. You’ll open doors into factories and similar environments, then run the workforce, QA, and platform work that turns that access into reliable multimodal data for frontier labs. Strong fits look like industrials consultants, robotics operators, PE ops folks, or early ops hires who’ve already managed human-in-the-loop work and know how to earn trust with plant leaders and ops teams. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- Direct relationships into factories, manufacturing, or adjacent industrial environments — or a clear track record of building them
- Mixed technical and non-technical skillset, comfortable with data tooling, light scripting, and spreadsheet-level analysis
- Strong organizational skills and attention to detail, able to manage multiple concurrent work streams
- Growth mindset: experience running or contributing to user acquisition, sourcing campaigns, or platform growth
- Comfort with ambiguous, relationship-heavy work and the unglamorous ops needed to make a partnership live
- Bachelor’s in CS, STEM, or equivalent practical experience, in-person at our SF HQ
