  • Navigate Complex Data Governance: Work cross-functionally with Legal, Privacy, and Security teams to structure licensing, provenance, and anonymization terms (including CCPA/CPRA and broader data regulations) that guarantee legal training and commercial usability
  • Scale Data Operations: Build robust, long-term vendor and partner ecosystems, managing delivery SLAs and pipeline tracking to accelerate research velocity without sacrificing quality.

Who We Look For
Preferred Qualifications
  • Demonstrated expertise in high-leverage technical environments, with a strong background in Technical Program Management (TPM), AI Data Operations, Strategic Tech Deals, Data Licensing, or Management Consulting.
