## About the role

We're looking for a manager to lead a team of researchers to focus on data evaluation, error analysis and data valuation methods to predict model performance. This team is responsible for showcasing the value and quality of Snorkel’s data for model training and evaluation, understanding where today's frontier models fall short, and turning that understanding into a point of view on what benchmarks and datasets these models will benefit from.

## What they're looking for

- 7+ years in applied AI, ML, or research roles, with 4+ years managing technical teams
- A leader who has repeatedly turned research and analysis into business outcomes, and who instinctively connects technical findings to market and customer needs
- Strong business and market judgment in the AI/ML space — you understand the competitive and frontier-lab landscape and can prioritize accordingly
- A nose for trends: able to look across many evaluation results and failure cases and extract the signal that should drive what gets built next
- Excellent communication and storytelling skills, with the ability to make technical results legible and persuasive to non-research audiences
- Familiarity with data valuation or data attribution research is a strong plus
