About the role

Program Lead for Claru (a Reka business line) in San Francisco, driving open-ended research programs for frontier labs and robotics teams, building scalable supply and automation to turn research problems into deliverables and owning program economics and roadmap.

Responsibilities

  • Turn an open-ended research need into a program with a scope, a standard, a timeline and agreed economics — then own the number
  • Work directly with frontier labs and robotics teams: turn a research problem into something deliverable, keep sophisticated buyers confident, and own the relationship from first call to delivery
  • Partner with our supply team to build the supply side from nothing if needed: recruit, activate and retain the contributors and partner businesses a program needs, in industries and geographies where none exists
  • Go at whichever blocker is in front of you: some days a spec or a tooling gap, other days a person, a partner or an incentive
  • Act as product manager for the platform team: your field evidence decides what gets built next, and you speak for the contributor and the client in the roadmap
  • Go where the work happens; physical operations are won by whoever showed up
  • Build leverage as you go — agents, automation, playbooks — so the second program costs a fraction of the first and the tenth runs itself

Qualifications

  • Early-stage marketplace operating experience — required
  • AI-native — required
  • You have operated, not only advised
  • Structured problem solving under pressure: first principles, then a plan a client and a team can both act on
  • Numerate — you build the model, find where the economics break, and argue for the change
  • Credible with a research lead and with a shift supervisor alike
  • Bonus: exposure to AI labs or training data pipelines
