As an Engagement Manager on Scale's Generative AI team, you'll be the face of Scale to the world's leading AI labs and model builders — the labs training the foundational LLM and agent capabilities defining the field.
You'll own these customer relationships end to end: translating what researchers need into the complex human-data programs our delivery teams execute, advocating for customer success internally, and earning Scale more work through precise, trustworthy follow-through. You'll work cross-functionally with Operations, ML, Engineering, and Finance to ensure the seamless delivery of Scale's GenAI products and services.
You won't run data pipelines yourself — you own the customer relationship, shape requirements into delivery outcomes, and partner closely with the teams who execute them. The ideal candidate is organized, execution-focused, and thrives on managing complexity. Precision across tracking, documentation, and customer follow-through is what builds trust and wins repeat work.
What you’ll do:- Own end-to-end account management for assigned frontier-lab customers, from opportunity scoping through project kickoff to completion.
- Translate customer requirements into well-defined human-data programs run by Scale's internal delivery operations teams.
- Manage customer communications, action items, and follow-ups across multiple concurrent projects with strong attention to detail.
- Act as a consultative thought partner to Scale's customers, shaping their needs into clear, deliverable project outcomes.
- Monitor delivery against customer throughput and quality standards, proactively flagging risks and escalating blockers with proposed solutions.
- Partner cross-functionally with operations, engineering, and planning teams to improve delivery efficiency and drive better customer outcomes.
- 3+ years of work experience in consulting, technical program management, or project management.
- 2+ years of experience in B2B client-facing roles.
- Experience in a high-growth environment, working cross-functionally and wearing multiple hats.
- A technical background (education or professional experience with CS, Engineering, Economics, Mathematics, or another STEM field)
- Enough understanding of the ML training lifecycle to discuss use cases meaningfully with technical customers — or a clear ability to learn it quickly.
