You'll lead with vision and clarity, execute with urgency, and grow with intention.

What you'll do:

  • Lead the ML Research function, responsible for delivery, quality, performance, and roadmap execution

  • Operates with urgency and clarity-able to distill priorities and move teams from ambiguity to execution
  • Has experience partnering deeply with sales, delivery, and customer success teams
