Responsibilities

  • human-data business. You build the researcher relationships, own every technical
  • conversation, and design work we can deliver.
  • AI Solutions puts GLG's expert network to work on AI training data and expert
  • evaluations for frontier labs. Our aim is to lead the top of the market
  • high-stakes professional domains.
  • You are the GM's partner in the market and share one revenue target. The GM runs
  • the commercial side of each deal. You run the technical side: the relationship
  • with the researcher, the quality and measurement discussion, and the design of
  • the program. You are also a hunter, building pipeline through the research
  • community.
  • Researcher relationships. Build direct relationships with researchers,
  • post-training teams and eval leads before there is an RFP. Bring back what
  • labs are buying and where current vendors fall short.
  • Source opportunities through those relationships and in the field: events,
  • conferences and dinners where researchers spend time.
  • Technical discovery. Find which capability a lab is trying to improve. Use
  • GLG experts to surface where a model fails in a domain and turn that finding
  • into a pilot.
  • Program design. Define the task, rubric, output format and difficulty target
  • so the work measures what the lab cares about.
  • Panel design. Decide with the Strategic Project Lead who qualifies for the
  • expert panel and how it is calibrated. You own it together and sign off with
  • each other.
  • Quality methodology. Own the QA conversation and the math behind it: gold
  • sets, agreement metrics, sampling and acceptance thresholds. Go head-to-head
  • with researchers on it.
  • Pilot to program. Set the success criteria for each pilot and help convert it
  • into a production contract.
  • Write the technical sections of bids and build reusable materials so every
  • sale is easier than the last.
  • Credibility strategy. Decide with the GM and Delivery which benchmarks, evals
  • and other proof GLG needs to win its domains.
  • The GM owns pricing, terms and the close. You own the technical promise we make
  • to the client. A Strategic Project Lead co-owns scoping with you, then sources
  • the experts, staffs the panel, pressure-tests the collection approach, and owns
  • delivery with the VP of Operations.
  • As we add sellers, you become their technical counterpart on every deal, or move
  • into a selling role of your own.

Qualification

TechnologyConsultingData & AnalyticsSalesScience & Research
  • Technical depth first. Credible with a frontier-lab researcher, well beyond
  • "AI fluent" in the enterprise-sales sense.
  • Has designed, scoped or delivered human-data, evaluation or benchmark work
  • for AI labs.
  • Knows the work: expert-authored evals, rubric design, preference data and
  • post-training, in domains such as financial services, life sciences, trust &
  • safety, etc.
  • Strong on the statistics of quality: agreement metrics, gold sets, sampling
  • and acceptance thresholds.
  • Comfortable getting hands-on with model outputs and eval results.
  • A hunter's instinct: you build your own relationships, want to share a
  • revenue number, and like being in the field.
  • Comfortable building in ambiguity on a founding team.
  • Likely backgrounds: a solutions engineer at a human-data vendor, a technical
  • project lead who ran lab programs and wants to move to the front of the deal, or
  • an evaluation specialist who wants to work with customers.
  • The supply others lack. Sourcing senior experts is the hard part of this
  • market. GLG's expert network is the business we are built on.
  • A founding seat. You write the playbook, shape the offering, and set the
  • standard for who we hire next.
  • Direct access. You work with lab researchers and with GLG leadership, with no
  • layers in between.

Benefits

  • Compensation: This role offers a competitive compensation package, consisting of

  • including but not limited to skill set, depth of experience, certifications, and

  • of employment

  • required to answer their most critical questions.
  • At GLG, you are an extension of our clients' core teams. You will work at the
  • intersection of industries and global markets, navigating high-stakes challenges
  • across the full spectrum of their strategic initiatives. Operating within the
  • industry’s most trusted research environment, you’ll help our clients capture
