About the Role

As a Research & Product Lead, you'll be the primary face of Sieve to our customers, top AI labs building frontier models. You'll combine deep technical fluency with strong relationship skills to manage our most important accounts, drive revenue expansion, and translate customer needs into internal priorities. This role sits at the intersection of product, applied research, and customer engagement, and requires someone equally comfortable in a technical deep-dive as they are shaping roadmap priorities or navigating a commercial conversation. Relationships are central to this role. The strongest candidates will already be plugged into the AI lab ecosystem and have trust built with the people and teams we work with.

Drive renewals and upsells by identifying new dataset needs and partnership opportunities within existing accounts

Collaborate closely with the partnerships, engineering, and data ops teams to ensure customer deliverables are met on time and at quality

Contribute to sales processes for new customers including demos, technical scoping, and proposal development

Requirements

Strong understanding of ML/AI workflows, particularly around data pipelines and model training

A natural relationship builder with a strong external network, especially across AI labs and frontier model companies

Excellent communication skills, able to translate between engineering and business audiences fluently

Comfortable with ambiguity and moving fast in a startup environment

In-person at our SF HQ
