About the role

Role at Encord focusing on bridging technical sales and hands-on data operations to deliver small-scale, high-quality annotation POCs for enterprise customers, with emphasis on robotics and autonomous driving data workflows.

Responsibilities

  • Partner with Account Executives to lead the technical and operational strategy for complex enterprise sales cycles, co-owning the path to a successful proof of concept
  • Lead deep technical discovery sessions with ML Engineers, MLOps leaders, and non-technical stakeholders to understand data requirements and design the right annotation workflow
  • Manage end-to-end delivery of small-scale annotation POCs — translating complex AI requirements into clear instructions for annotation specialists, auditing outputs, and iterating on quality until the sample is client-ready
  • Build and deliver tailored demonstrations that combine platform capability with live, real-world annotation results — particularly for robotics, autonomous driving, and multimodal sensor data (LiDAR, camera fusion, etc.)
  • Act as a trusted advisor to clients on annotation workflow design, data quality, and the operational processes that underpin model performance
  • Provide structured feedback and guidance to annotation teams during POC delivery, ensuring outputs meet the quality bar required to win client confidence
  • Translate findings and operational results into clear value propositions for senior, non-technical stakeholders
  • Serve as the voice of the customer to Product and Engineering, channeling detailed technical feedback from enterprise clients to shape the roadmap

Qualifications

  • - A sharp operator who combines structured, consulting-style thinking with hands-on execution
  • - Technically fluent: ability to query a database, write Python scripts to automate a workflow, and discuss ML pipelines with engineers
  • - A natural communicator capable of compelling demos and explaining outcomes to VPs
  • - Passion for AI with interest in robotics, autonomous driving, and data operations challenges in physical AI
  • - Entrepreneurial and collaborative mindset with ownership and ability to work in ambiguity
