Full Job Description

đź“‹ Description

  • • Join our Asset Hub team to help define a new category from the ground up, working on complex, high-stakes problems, and building the products and processes that guide founders through one of the most consequential moments in a company's life.
  • • Originate, structure, and grow the partnerships that turn our unique supply of assets into recurring licensing revenue — building relationships with AI labs and the companies that serve them, understanding exactly what they need for pre- and post-training, and translating that demand back into how we source and package supply.
  • • Own and grow buyer-side relationships across frontier labs, RL environment builders, data and evaluation vendors, labeling firms, and enterprise AI teams — from first conversation through signed, recurring licensing deals.
  • • Originate new demand: identify which organizations need which assets — pre-training corpora, post-training and RL data, codebases, workspace data, specialized datasets — and open the door.
  • • Structure and negotiate commercial terms — licensing structures, exclusivity, rights, and pricing, including MSAs and order forms — in close partnership with legal.
  • • Be the voice of the buyer internally: translate what labs actually need into how we source, qualify, and package supply, working with product, supply, and engineering.
  • • Stay ahead of a fast-moving market — training methods, evolving data needs, and the competitive landscape of labeling, RLE, and data vendors — and shape our commercial strategy accordingly.
  • • Represent AssetHub credibly with senior technical and commercial stakeholders at labs and partners.
  • • Build the repeatable playbook and infrastructure — pipeline, process, and materials — that lets buyer-side partnerships scale.
  • • A senior, high-autonomy role for someone who knows the AI data and training ecosystem inside and out and can operate credibly with the people building frontier models.
  • • Based in (or willing to work hybrid from) the Los Angeles, San Francisco, or New York metro.

🎯 Requirements

  • • Deep, current knowledge of the AI data and model-training ecosystem — both pre-training and post-training / RL — and how labs actually acquire and use data.
  • • Experience at an AI lab, an RL environment or data/evaluation company, or in a function that sold to or partnered with those companies (BD, partnerships, GTM, or commercial).
  • • A track record originating and closing complex, high-value partnerships or commercial deals, ideally involving data or technical products.
  • • Comfort structuring and negotiating licensing and commercial terms alongside legal — exclusivity, rights, and pricing.
  • • Fluent enough in the technical substance to earn credibility with researchers and technical buyers, without needing to be an engineer.
  • • An existing network across labs, RLE / data companies, or the broader AI ecosystem is a strong plus.
  • • A self-starter who is comfortable with ambiguity and energized by building a young, fast-moving business.
  • • A senior operator — typically 7+ years in BD, partnerships, or commercial roles, with meaningful time in or adjacent to the AI / ML ecosystem.

🏖️ Benefits

  • • Competitive compensation package consisting of a base salary and performance-based variable component.
  • • Competitive equity package
  • • Comprehensive health benefits, including medical, dental, and vision
  • • Life insurance
  • • Unlimited paid time off
  • • Flexible hybrid work environment in New York City (Midtown) or San Francisco (remote but must be in SF)
  • • Two company-wide offsites each year
  • • 401(k) with Traditional and Roth options, with immediate eligibility
