About the role

The Strategic Delivery Lead is the senior operator accountable for turning a pod’s ambition into reliably delivered, high-quality work. This role is hybrid ( 3 days/week in office) in San Francisco, CA or New York City, NY. You will own the performance of a portfolio spanning samples, off-the-shelf datasets, proprietary data products, and bespoke engagements, connecting GTM, Research, Delivery, Product, Engineering, and Expert AI Supply to ensure the right work is prioritized, staffed, and executed.

What they're looking for

  • Manage and grow a team of Strategic Project Leads (SPLs) to ensure projects are delivered on time, and you establish a culture of high performance
  • Turn recurring failures into systemic fixes. When the same problem appears repeatedly, address it in the operating model, tooling, or process rather than continuing to solve it one project at a time
  • Build the pod playbook. As one of the first leaders operating this model, establish the rhythms, processes, roles, and best practices that will make the model repeatable for future pods
  • Share learnings across the broader organization. Ensure insights, proven practices, and recurring challenges are systematically shared across pods so that each team benefits from what others have learned
More about this role

At Snorkel, we believe meaningful AI doesn’t start with the model, it starts with the data.

We’re on a mission to help enterprises transform expert knowledge into specialized AI at scale. The AI landscape has gone through incredible changes since 2015, when Snorkel started as a research project in the Stanford AI Lab, to the generative AI breakthroughs of today. But one thing has remained constant: the data you use to build AI is the key to achieving differentiation, high performance, and production-ready systems. We work with some of the world’s largest organizations to empower scientists, engineers, financial experts, product creators, journalists, and more to build custom AI with their data faster than ever before. Excited to help us redefine how AI is built? Apply to be the newest Snorkeler!
