Strategic Project Lead

Replay • New York, NY

5d • $175,000 - $220,000

About The Position

Replay is hiring a Strategic Project Lead to own our most important engagements with frontier AI labs, end to end. You'll take a lab's goals for the data they need, turn them into a scoped, high-quality delivery, and run it through to completion, working directly with the lab's researchers on one side and our internal team and partner companies on the other. This is a high-ownership role for someone who is as comfortable in a research conversation as they are in the operational weeds.

Requirements

• 2-3+ years in a high-pressure, high-ownership environment, such engineering or technical program/account management at a startup
• Track record of owning complex, ambiguous projects with multiple stakeholders and external clients, and delivering on them
• Comfort engaging directly with external stakeholders, including high-profile technical and research counterparts: you're curious about how models are trained and evaluated, and can hold your own in those conversations
• Strong analytical skills: you can structure messy problems, work with data, and build the metrics that tell you if a project is on track
• Excellent written and verbal communication, including with senior external stakeholders
• Gritty, action-oriented, and happy to roll up your sleeves

Nice To Haves

• Experience at or working with a frontier AI lab, or a data/evaluation vendor in the AI space
• Experience in forward-deployed, solutions, or client-facing delivery roles
• Hands-on experience with data pipelines, RL environments, evals, or model post-training
• Previously a founder or early employee at a startup

Responsibilities

• Own multi-million-dollar data projects with frontier AI labs — from first scoping conversation through successful delivery
• Be the primary point of contact for lab research and data teams: translate what they're trying to improve in their models into concrete data specs, quality requirements, and timelines
• Build relationships and trust with Replay’s clients - proactively anticipating needs, identifying opportunities for expansion, and ensure world-class execution under demanding timelines
• Work with our partner companies and internal teams to source, structure, and deliver data, and remove blockers as they appear

Benefits

• $175-220K base salary
• Meaningful equity
• 100% covered medical, dental, and vision
• Unlimited PTO
• Free gym + workout class memberships (via Wellhub)
• $500 desk allowance
• Up to $15,000 relocation bonus where applicable
