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
