Responsibilities
• Own the program like a CEO. Own the P&L for your pipeline: accountable for quality, timelines, revenue, margin, and budget. Forecast accurately, surface risks early, and manage spend against plan. • Own the program like a CEO. • Be the single-threaded owner across stakeholders. Your program touches client research and engineering teams, Snorkel's own forward deployed engineers, researchers, and growth partners, and the Expert Contributor Network supporting data production. You are the single person who keeps all of that aligned, accountable, and informed. • Be the single-threaded owner across stakeholders. • Design the training data program. Translate what the model needs to learn into task definitions, quality rubrics, evaluation criteria, and RL environments. Decide what "great" looks like before expert contributors start producing it. • Design the training data program. • Develop and scale the Expert Contributor Network. Define the contributor profile your program needs, work with cross-functional partners to recruit them, and design the training and QA systems that ramp them quickly. Maintain quality standards as volume grows from hundreds to thousands of contributors. • Develop and scale the Expert Contributor Network. • Build the system from scratch. Translate vague, evolving client requirements into crisp workstreams, success criteria, and milestones. Stand up the workflows, quality systems, and operating rhythms where none exist, then harden and automate them as pipeline scales. • Build the system from scratch. • Monitor, measure, and mitigate. Instrument each program with the right dashboards, KPIs, and a live risk register. Catch regressions and surface risks before clients do. Use data, not intuition, to drive decisions, forecasts, escalations, and mitigations. • Monitor, measure, and mitigate. • Drive internal and external comms. Set the narrative. Keep Snorkel leadership, client executive sponsors, and the working team aligned through clear, written-first updates that surface progress, risks, and asks without filler. • Drive internal and external comms. • Manage the data flows under the hood. Oversee data ingestion, transformation, and storage across multiple systems, leveraging SQL, JSON, Python, and query management to pull, push, and consolidate data from wherever it lives. • Manage the data flows under the hood. • Operate with urgency. Move fast, hold the quality bar, and bias toward shipping. Our clients are racing to ship better models, and our pace has to match, without ever dropping the standard that sets Snorkel apart. • Operate with urgency.
