What are the responsibilities and job description for the Analytics Team Lead position at People In AI?
Senior Data Partner, AI / LLM Systems
Compensation: $500,000 - $700,000
Location: New York City (Hybrid)
We’re partnering with a highly respected, research-led organization that has built a sustained edge through deep investment in data, systems, and rigorous decision-making.
The Role
This is a foundational role within a small, high-impact team at the center of the company’s AI transformation.
As a Senior Data Partner, you’ll sit at the intersection of data, research, and AI working on ambiguous, high-stakes problems where data is messy, incomplete, and often unstructured.
Your mandate is to turn that data into something usable, reliable, and scalable.
This is not a conventional data role. The work begins scrappy and exploratory, then evolves into structured systems as patterns emerge. You’ll help define what “good” looks like and build the path to get there.
What You’ll Do
- Translate ambiguous research questions into concrete data systems and workflows
- Work with unstructured data (documents, text, external sources) and transform it into structured, usable datasets
- Design and implement validation and benchmarking frameworks for AI/LLM systems
- Define data correctness and build processes to ensure quality over time
- Identify repeatable patterns and evolve one-off analyses into scalable systems
- Make pragmatic decisions around manual vs automated approaches
- Partner closely with engineers, researchers, and senior stakeholders on critical initiatives
What You’ll Bring
- Extensive experience working deeply with data in complex, ambiguous environments
- Proven track record owning messy data problems end-to-end
- Strong intuition for data quality, validation, and system reliability
- Comfort operating in ambiguity and defining problems from first principles
- Systems thinking mindset—ability to design frameworks, not just execute tasks
- Experience collaborating across technical and non-technical stakeholders
Why Join?
- Work on problems where data quality and correctness truly matter
- Join a small, high-caliber team with outsized impact
- Shape how data systems are built in an AI-first environment
- High ownership and direct exposure to critical decision-making
