From Snorkel AI's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Snorkel AI is the frontier AI data lab, helping teams build the data and environments behind high-performing frontier and agentic AI. We combine technology with research-driven AI data development to create datasets, benchmarks, evals, and custom solutions for real-world AI systems. Founded out of the Stanford AI Lab in 2019, Snorkel works with leading AI labs and enterprises to move from better data to better outcomes.
Excited to help us redefine how AI is built? Apply to be the newest Snorkeler!
We're hiring a Director of Data Partnerships to lead a new function at Snorkel. You'll own the supply side of our data partnerships end-to-end: setting the strategy for how we source and procure private data, building the partner / supplier pipeline, structuring agreements, and working with the business to bring it all to life. It is an entrepreneurial, external-facing role that will drive top-of-funnel and convert opportunities into real value.
The market for training data partnerships is nascent and rapidly changing - business judgment is key to success in this role. Finally, cross-functional collaboration and a sense of overall ownership are key to ensuring we get value from the partnerships we strike.
This role will require hands-on, zero to one work. You'll be sourcing, qualifying, and negotiating directly. You'll own the funnel, form a sound but swift view on whether an opportunity is worth pursuing and know which terms to offer and how to negotiate them to close. You'll carry those relationships forward after signature rather than handing them off. As the function proves out, you'll build a small but mighty team behind you and shift toward setting direction, standards, and performance expectations.
This is a high-impact role for someone with sharp commercial judgment, meaningful experience in licensing and IP, the creativity and range to operate in a market whose economics and value chain are still being defined - and, critically, hustle. You'll be a key advisor to leadership on strategy and execution, and you'll shape how Snorkel acquires data as a matter of company practice. The Business Operations team will help build the internal systems, analytics, and operating cadence alongside you.
Success will be measured by the growth of our private data partnerships and the value they create for our business.
Compensation
$215,000 — $315,000 USD
