About the Role
As a Research & Product Lead, you'll be the primary face of Sieve to our customers, top AI labs building frontier models. You'll combine deep technical fluency with strong relationship skills to manage our most important accounts, drive revenue expansion, and translate customer needs into internal priorities. This role sits at the intersection of product, applied research, and customer engagement, and requires someone equally comfortable in a technical deep-dive as they are shaping roadmap priorities or navigating a commercial conversation. Relationships are central to this role. The strongest candidates will already be plugged into the AI lab ecosystem and have trust built with the people and teams we work with.

- Translate customer feedback and requirements into clear internal briefs for engineering and data ops
- Drive renewals and upsells by identifying new dataset needs and partnership opportunities within existing accounts
