Role
Who you are
- 5+ years of experience in growth, product, operations, or software engineering roles
- Experience with operations-intensive business models (e.g., marketplaces, on-demand platforms, supply chain, logistics, or services delivery)
- Strong technical foundation with the ability to conduct sophisticated data analysis using SQL or Python (STEM degree preferred)
- Exceptional problem-solving skills and analytical mindset, with a track record of using data to drive growth strategies (consulting or operational experience is a plus)
- An entrepreneurial approach to building—you're energized by ambiguity and thrive when scaling new products or services from zero to one
- Comfort working in fast-moving environments where you'll need to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution
- The ideal candidate brings deep experience, a sophisticated understanding of growth mechanics, and a proven ability to deliver results in high-pressure, high-growth environments
What the job involves
- As HumanSignal continues its rapid expansion in the AI infrastructure space, we are seeking a Growth Lead to drive initiatives that will accelerate revenue and market presence
- This multifaceted role demands a unique combination of strategic thinking, operational excellence, and analytical rigor, with the goal of catalyzing growth as we scale our Label Studio platform and Data Creation Laboratory services
- Through our Data Creation Laboratories, we're pioneering a new category: manufacturing purpose-built datasets from scratch in controlled environments
- This isn't about labeling what exists—it's about creating the human-generated data that will unlock the next generation of AI capabilities. As we scale this operation alongside our platform business, you'll be at the center of defining how we grow
- Lead high-impact growth initiatives, working closely with cross-functional teams including Engineering, Operations, Product, and Go-to-Market
- Design and optimize growth strategies, acquisition funnels, and expansion pipelines that align with the needs of frontier labs, enterprises, and our evolving market
- Own growth operations end-to-end, ensuring flawless execution and strategic alignment across the organization
- Deliver regular progress insights to HumanSignal's leadership team, shaping the company's strategic direction
- Solve the company's most critical growth challenges, establishing new benchmarks for how AI infrastructure companies scale
- This role is pivotal to ensuring HumanSignal not only sustains its growth momentum but accelerates it to capture greater market share in the AI data infrastructure landscape
Our take
A number of new industries are developing, and winning big, in the slipstream of the AI boom. One of them is data labelling: the process of identifying raw data and tagging it with labels that will provide informative context for the machine model to learn from. It is proving a lucrative business, and HumanSignal is one of a growing number of startups looking to capitalize on this.
HumanSignal’s principal product is Label Studio, a collaborative data labelling solution with a focus on streamlining team management, relevant access and data security. With industry leaders such as IBM, Nvidia and Facebook having already adopted this product, it has certainly made a splash thus far.
HumanSignal has substantial funding under its belt but will have to compete with a large number of new data-labelling startups - some of them enjoying similar early success. With many heralding data labelling as the new “gold rush”, and the industry spreading worldwide, the competition looks fierce - but the space will be rewarding for those that win out.
