About Snorkel
At Snorkel, we believe meaningful AI doesn’t start with the model, it starts with the data.
We’re on a mission to help enterprises transform expert knowledge into specialized AI at scale. The AI landscape has gone through incredible changes between 2015, when Snorkel started as a research project in the Stanford AI Lab, to the generative AI breakthroughs of today. But one thing has remained constant: the data you use to build AI is the key to achieving differentiation, high performance, and production-ready systems. We work with some of the world’s largest organizations to empower scientists, engineers, financial experts, product creators, journalists, and more to build custom AI with their data faster than ever before. Excited to help us redefine how AI is built? Apply to be the newest Snorkeler!

- Be a Voice for Contributors: Serve as the advocate for contributor needs internally, shaping product, process, and tooling decisions.
- Drive Cross-Functional Alignment: Collaborate with GTM, Delivery, Ops, and Analytics teams to ensure contributor supply supports overall business growth.
- 7+ years of experience in strategy, operations, growth, or marketplace roles in a fast-paced environment.

- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills; ability to define metrics, run analyses, and translate insights into action.
- Experience driving complex cross-functional initiatives with multiple stakeholders.
- Exceptional communication skills with the ability to influence senior leadership and external partners.
