We build open models that let anyone control their intelligence and help shape the future of AI. Our mission: make intelligence open and accessible to all.\nRole Overview\nThe Data Acquisition Team is responsible for ensuring that Reflection has all the data it needs to train the world’s best models. We're looking for a Human Data Operations Manager to own the pipelines that turn human expertise into better AI models. You will partner closely with researchers, deeply understand their needs, and source from vendors the data that improves our models’ usefulness and performance.\nThis role combines program ownership with hands-on work on task design, contributor workflows, data quality frameworks, and success metrics. The ideal candidate brings organizational rigor, technical curiosity, and sound judgment about when to move quickly and when to investigate the details.\nWhat You'll Do\nCollaborate with research: Translate critical model capabilities, and researchers’ plans for developing them, into executable data acquisition strategies.\n\nOrchestrate providers: Assess vendors’ capabilities, forecast capacity, define task instructions, acceptance criteria and then hold vendors accountable for quality, delivery, and cost.\n\nTrack and optimize campaigns: Build dashboards tracking throughput, turnaround time, acceptance rates, rework, and cost per accepted task. Leverage data analytics to investigate bottlenecks and guide improvements.\n\nEnsure alignment: Experiments and priorities evolve. You will surface vulnerabilities early and turn feedback into concrete changes to subsequent sourcing. Work with research to close the loop; tracking how our data acquisitions improve model capabilities\n\nWhat We're Looking For\n4+ years of experience delivering a portfolio of complex programs and prioritizing across changing research needs.\n\nAn understanding of LLM training, evaluation, and prompt design, with the ability to learn unfamiliar research concepts quickly.\n\nProficiency in SQL for querying datasets and building dashboards, and Python for data analysis, API integrations, and workflow automation.\n\nClear written communication, strong stakeholder judgment, and a willingness to inspect individual tasks and datasets when the headline numbers do not tell the full story.\n\nHigh agency, bias towards action, and the ability to drive impact in fast-paced, dynamic, and ambiguous environments\n\nExperience with annotation, expert data collection, human feedback, or AI evaluation is a plus.\n\nWhat We Offer:\nWe believe that to make intelligence open and accessible to all, you need to start at the foundation. Joining Reflection means building from the ground up as part of a talent-dense team. You will help define our future as a company, and help define the future of open foundational models.\nWe want you to do the most impactful work of your career with the confidence that you and the people you care about most are supported.\nTop-tier compensation: Salary and equity structured to recognize and retain our talent globally.\n\nStock options: Everyone who joins and contributes to Reflection's success gets to share in the upside through stock options.\n\nHealth & wellness: Comprehensive medical, dental, vision, and life, with an annual wellness allowance.\n\nMeals: Lunch and dinner are provided in the office daily.\n\nLife & family: 22 weeks paid parental leave for all new birthing and non-birthing parents, including adoptive and surrogate journeys.\n\nVacation days: Unlimited paid time off in the U.S. and 30 days in the U.K.\n\nSponsorship support: We sponsor visas to help exceptional talent join our team and support long-term immigration pathways where applicable.\n\nTeam building: We have regular off-sites, happy hours, and team celebrations.\n\nExport Control Notice: This position may require access to technology or source code subject to the U.S. Export Administration Regulations.
