As Client Success Director for our Amazon relationship, you will serve as the primary commercial and strategic owner of one of our most critical and complex client partnerships. This is a hands-on, high-impact individual contributor role focused exclusively on deepening, expanding, and protecting our footprint within Amazon, spanning their AI, Alexa, AWS, and broader machine learning organizations. You will operate at the intersection of artificial intelligence, data operations, and enterprise account management, bringing a strong understanding of the full AI data lifecycle from initial collection and annotation through to validation, fine-tuning, and model evaluation.

Our service offerings span the breadth of what modern AI development demands. On the Generative AI side, we partner with clients to build human-aligned datasets for fine-tuning and evaluating large language models, supporting workflows including Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT), Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), red teaming, and bespoke dataset creation across more than 20 domains and 100 languages. We deliver data for AI & robotics to help robotics labs with sensor setups, hardware integration, foundational training/simulations, and real-world interactions. In the arena of data for search & ads we leverage two decades of experience in delivering uninterrupted data that powers the world's leading search and content platforms. Rounding out our portfolio, we offer a library of off-the-shelf datasets purpose-built for training and evaluating LLMs, computer vision models, and audio AI systems, providing clients with accessible, cost-effective solutions ready for immediate integration.
