Role
Who you are
- This role is ideal for a highly analytical generalist - someone who thrives in ambiguity and is able to move fluidly between strategic problem-solving and rolling up your sleeves to make the business run better day to day. No task is too small if it drives impact
- A penchant for digging deeply into the data yourself, thinking from first principles, and iterating quickly to deliver results
- A strong orientation toward outcomes, and a history of being scrappy when it counts
- Low ego and highly collaborative - you’re excited to work alongside smart, humble teammates and do whatever it takes to help the team succeed
- An easygoing interpersonal style that you bring to bear in everything from deep technical conversations with engineers to polished executive level comms
- Proven ability to build high trust relationships with a wide range of people across the organization
- Experience in product or project management, taking projects from conception to launch
- Excellent qualitative and quantitative analytical skills
Desirable
- ~3 years at a top-tier consulting firm, or experience in investment banking, private equity, or similar
- Exposure to tech, product or operational roles in a high-growth environment
- MBA a bonus (but not required)
What the job involves
- We’re looking for a Business Operations & Strategy Associate to support critical initiatives across GPS product, engineering, sales, marketing and core operations.
- Help drive the team’s core operating cadence and strategic planning moments, including structuring inputs for business reviews, planning cycles, deep dives and offsites to enable clear decisions and effective execution
- Partner with functional leads to track and pressure-test OKRs and key metrics, helping teams move from goals to measurable outcomes
- Drive preparation for team All Hands by shaping narratives, distilling complex work into clear updates, and ensuring follow-through on commitments
- Collaborate with Sales Operations on forecasting and pipeline reviews to improve predictability and drive tighter execution across the go-to-market team
- Work closely with Product Managers and Product Operations to connect roadmap decisions to delivery capacity, operational constraints, and downstream impact
- Identify and address cross-functional gaps in how we operate - structuring solutions and pushing them through to execution where ownership or process is unclear

Our take
When training AI models, lack of access to large scale, high quality, labelled data is often the barrier preventing machine learning teams from building something great. In fact, labelled data is even more essential than the algorithms themselves. Scale AI is solving this by providing easy access through developer APIs to a huge variety of labelled data sets covering a large range of areas within computer vision and natural language processing.
It seems that almost every company now is offering artificial intelligence enabled products to automate every aspect of our lives. So, by positioning themselves as the go-to source for high quality tagged data, Scale AI is in an excellent position as the AI sector continues it's exponential growth.
With innovative AI projects across a range of sectors including retail, energy, and healthcare, Scale AI is now a leader in the industry alongside OpenAI. It continues to forge partnerships with fintech tools and software engine developers such as Brex and Luminar to continue its evolution of digital markets.
