Job Description

Cinder is hiring a AI Data Operations Lead to own the health, quality, and evolution of our Managed Services (MS) offerings. This role sits at the intersection of Trust & Safety operations, AI-augmented review systems, customer experience, and vendor management. Managed Services is a core and growing part of how customers experience Cinder. Today, that work spans content moderation, data labeling, red-teaming, and AI-assisted review workflows. This role exists to ensure we deliver consistently high-quality outcomes for customers, learn faster from operational data, and scale our approach thoughtfully as demand grows.

Job Responsibility

  • Own the operational health, delivery, and outcomes for all Managed Services customers
  • Lead quality programs across customers, including QA design, precision/recall analysis, accuracy tracking, and continuous improvement
  • Identify root causes of quality regressions, missed SLAs, or labeling confusion — and drive fixes across tooling, training, or process
  • Own escalation and risk tradeoffs when quality, safety, or customer timelines are at risk, exercising sound judgment in high-pressure situations
  • Manage day-to-day relationships with BPO and data labeling partners
  • Partner with vendors on staffing models, headcount planning, efficiency improvements, and performance management across time zones
  • Review training materials, calibration processes, and reviewer feedback loops to ensure consistent, high-quality output at scale
  • Write, test, and iterate labeling and review instructions in partnership with Product and customers
  • Lead calibration processes with BPO partners to ensure consistent interpretation of guidelines and edge cases
  • Work closely with Product and Engineering on AI deployments that support Managed Services customers
  • Help design and refine workflows where AI augments — rather than replaces — expert human judgment
  • Use operational data to inform model iteration, tooling improvements, and future product decisions
  • Monitor pipeline health across human and AI-assisted workflows, identifying bottlenecks and making informed tradeoffs between quality, speed, and cost
  • Act as a primary operational point of contact for Managed Services customers
  • Navigate customer pressure around deadlines, errors, quality issues, and evolving requirements with calm judgment and clear communication
  • Own prioritization and decision-making when information is incomplete and trade-offs are real
  • Partner with GTM teams to bring Managed Services offerings to market
  • Support upsells, renewals, and new customer conversations by translating operational credibility into clear value

Requirements

  • At least 4+ years of experience in operations roles within Trust & Safety, AI safety, content moderation, or data labeling
  • Directly managed BPO or vendor-based review/labeling teams at scale
  • Highly organized and comfortable owning complex, multi-threaded operational work
  • Experience performing root cause analysis on operational or quality issues
  • Comfortable getting into the weeds — tooling, data, training docs, edge cases — to understand what’s actually happening
  • Can operate independently and take initiative in ambiguous environments
  • Comfortable using data (basic data science, metrics, dashboards) to monitor performance and partner with QA or customer teams
  • Excited about AI-augmented operations and believe human judgment + AI systems outperform purely manual approaches

Nice to have

  • Experience spanning both Trust & Safety and data labeling workflows
  • Experience with red-teaming or adversarial testing programs
  • Background working on the customer side of BPO relationships
  • Experience supporting customer-facing operations in high-stakes environments
