Business Operations Lead

Companies want to train their own large models on their own data. The current industry standard is to train on a random sample of your data, which is inefficient at best and actively harmful to model quality at worst. There is compelling research showing that smarter data selection can train better models faster—we know because we did much of this research. Given the high costs of training, this presents a huge market opportunity. We founded DatologyAI to translate this research into tools that enable enterprise customers to identify the right data on which to train, resulting in better models for cheaper. Our team has pioneered deep learning data research, built startups, and created tools for enterprise ML. For more details, check out our recent blog posts sharing our high-level results for text models and image-text models.

We've raised over $57M in funding from top investors like Radical Ventures, Amplify Partners, Felicis, Microsoft, Amazon, and notable angels like Jeff Dean, Geoff Hinton, Yann LeCun and Elad Gil. We're rapidly scaling our team and computing resources to revolutionize data curation across modalities.

This role is based in Redwood City, CA. We are in office 4 days a week.

We’re looking for a strategic, execution-focused Business Operations Lead to build and scale the business and GTM infrastructure behind our rapid growth. You’ll work cross-functionally to drive operational excellence, support sales and customer success initiatives, and ensure the business runs smoothly. This is a high-impact role for someone who thrives in ambiguity, takes ownership, and and wants to operate as a force multiplier across the business during a critical stage of growth.

• Business Operations: Streamline internal processes, manage cross-functional initiatives, and ensure accountability across teams. Build systems that help the company run faster and smarter.

• GTM Strategy & Execution: Partner closely with leadership on GTM planning, from pipeline management and sales ops to customer insights and enablement.

• Vendor & Tool Management: Own key vendor relationships and evaluate tooling to support GTM and operational needs.

• Revenue Operations: Track lead flow, sales funnel metrics, and customer lifecycle data. Support customer onboarding and engagement processes.

• Finance & Compliance: Help manage budgeting, vendor invoicing, reimbursements, and tax compliance. Keep us aligned with financial and marketplace requirements.

• 5+ years of experience in business operations, ideally at a high-growth startup.

• A systems thinker with strong project management chops — you bring structure to chaos.

• Comfortable shifting between strategic planning and tactical execution.

• Strong communicator who can work across sales, product, and leadership teams.

• Datadriven, organized, and unafraid to own critical workstreams end-to-end.

• You bring an owner’s mindset and love turning vision into operational reality.
