Job Description:
We work with a global network of vendors who supply human-annotated data supporting our AI research and product development. We're looking for a highly organized sourcing and program professional to support vendor onboarding and contracting execution.
You'll be the connective tissue between our sourcing managers, business partners, and vendors - moving each engagement from selection through to a signed contract and a live program, and supporting ongoing supplier management and compliance once that program is live.

- Lead contract negotiations that optimize value to the company
- Manage vendor performance and governance in collaboration with the business
- Provide market intelligence and sourcing updates to leadership
Minimum Qualifications
- BS/BA degree
- 4 years of outsourcing or strategic sourcing experience, ideally in tech or AI domains
- Demonstrated success negotiating complex contracts and managing vendor relationships
- Strong commercial negotiation skills across multiple levers beyond rates (volume discounts, quality thresholds, speed to quality, service levels)
- Program management experience with business stakeholders, cross-functional groups, and third parties
- Highly organized structured thinker; able to synthesize complex information into executive-ready summaries
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience sourcing annotations for ML/AI or large language model development
- Experience managing high-volume data annotation sourcing programs
- Experience working with BPOs, crowdsource/freelance platforms, and boutique data vendors
- Experience breaking down vendor cost models and understanding ROI drivers
