Growth Operations Lead
$90k - $140k USD
The future of AI — whether in training or evaluation, classical ML or agentic workflows — starts with high-quality data.
At HumanSignal, we’re building the platform that powers the creation, curation, and evaluation of that data. From fine-tuning foundation models to validating agent behaviors in production, our tools are used by leading AI teams to ensure models are grounded in real-world signal, not noise.
Our open-source product, Label Studio, has become the de facto standard for labeling and evaluating data across modalities — from text and images to time series and agents-in-environments. With over 250,000 users and hundreds of millions of labeled samples, it’s the most widely adopted OSS solution for teams working on building AI systems.
Label Studio Enterprise builds on that traction with the security, collaboration, and scalability features needed to support mission-critical AI pipelines — powering everything from model training datasets to eval test sets to continuous feedback loops.We started before foundation models were mainstream, and we’re doubling down now that AI is eating the world. If you're excited to help leading AI teams build smarter, more accurate systems — we’d love to talk.
As HumanSignal continues its rapid expansion in the AI infrastructure space, we are seeking a Growth Lead to drive initiatives that will accelerate revenue and market presence. This multifaceted role demands a unique combination of strategic thinking, operational excellence, and analytical rigor, with the goal of catalyzing growth as we scale our Label Studio platform and Data Creation Laboratory services.
Through our Data Creation Laboratories, we're pioneering a new category: manufacturing purpose-built datasets from scratch in controlled environments. This isn't about labeling what exists—it's about creating the human-generated data that will unlock the next generation of AI capabilities. As we scale this operation alongside our platform business, you'll be at the center of defining how we grow.
You Will:
- Lead high-impact growth initiatives, working closely with cross-functional teams including Engineering, Operations, Product, and Go-to-Market
- Design and optimize growth strategies, acquisition funnels, and expansion pipelines that align with the needs of frontier labs, enterprises, and our evolving market
- Own growth operations end-to-end, ensuring flawless execution and strategic alignment across the organization
- Deliver regular progress insights to HumanSignal's leadership team, shaping the company's strategic direction
- Solve the company's most critical growth challenges, establishing new benchmarks for how AI infrastructure companies scale
Ideally, You'd Have:
- 5+ years of experience in growth, product, operations, or software engineering roles
- Experience with operations-intensive business models (e.g., marketplaces, on-demand platforms, supply chain, logistics, or services delivery)
- Strong technical foundation with the ability to conduct sophisticated data analysis using SQL or Python (STEM degree preferred)
- Exceptional problem-solving skills and analytical mindset, with a track record of using data to drive growth strategies (consulting or operational experience is a plus)
- An entrepreneurial approach to building—you're energized by ambiguity and thrive when scaling new products or services from zero to one
- Comfort working in fast-moving environments where you'll need to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution
This role is pivotal to ensuring HumanSignal not only sustains its growth momentum but accelerates it to capture greater market share in the AI data infrastructure landscape. The ideal candidate brings deep experience, a sophisticated understanding of growth mechanics, and a proven ability to deliver results in high-pressure, high-growth environments.
