AI Research & Operations Analyst Lead Job ID 2026-1565
About The Position
We're looking for an experienced and energetic AI Research & Operations Analyst Lead to lead and mentor our team of Associate AI Research & Operations Analysts. You'll be the connective tissue between cutting-edge AI experimentation and real-world business execution — mentoring a team of 5–10 analysts, scoping incoming AI requests from across the organization, and rolling up your sleeves to help explore and answer technical and operational questions regarding GenAI. This is a hands-on leadership role for someone who is equally comfortable in a 1:1 coaching session, collaborating with different stakeholders, and a debugging session. You'll help shape how Internet Brands adopts and scales AI across its portfolio.
Requirements
- 3+ years of professional experience in software engineering, technical analyst, or project management, with meaningful exposure to web application development (front-end, back-end, or full-stack).
- 1+ years of experience managing, leading, or formally mentoring a team of individual contributors.
- 2+ years of hands-on experience working with generative AI tools, platforms, or applications — including practical use of LLM APIs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Google), prompt engineering, and building or evaluating AI-powered agents and workflows.
- Strong communication and interpersonal skills — able to build trust with both technical and non-technical stakeholders, facilitate productive conversations, and deliver clear written and verbal updates.
- Demonstrated ability to scope ambiguous requests: asking the right questions, identifying constraints, and breaking work into executable pieces.
- Experience triaging and problem-solving complex technical or operational issues, including helping others get unstuck.
- Highly organized and comfortable managing a team workload across multiple concurrent projects.
Nice To Haves
- Experience in data science or a closely related field, with comfort working with structured and unstructured data, drawing analytical insights, and applying quantitative thinking to business problems.
- Background in a fast-moving, cross-functional environment such as a tech company, digital media, or SaaS organization.
- Experience defining team processes, rituals, or operating norms from scratch.
Responsibilities
- Directly lead and mentor 5–10 Associate AI Research & Operations Analysts, providing day-to-day guidance and conceptual framing of the individual work assignments.
- Model strong communication practices and help the team translate business needs into structured, actionable plans.
- Step in and directly assist the various projects when the situation becomes confusing. In other words, help define the path forward when needed.
- Partner closely with product, engineering, and business stakeholders to identify high-impact AI opportunities and drive adoption of AI solutions across the organization.
- Ensure team outputs — prototypes, evaluations, automation builds, and documentation — meet a high standard of quality and business relevance.
Benefits
- health insurance options such as medical, dental, and vision coverage
- flexible spending accounts (FSA) for medical and dependent care
