Job Description

Rise Data Labs is a VC-backed AI data company partnering with leading AI labs and enterprise teams to power training, evaluation, and continuous improvement for generative AI systems. We are building the next-generation infrastructure for human judgment in AI, and we are looking for a Founding GTM Lead to help shape how we grow. 

This is a rare opportunity to join a small, high-trust founding team at the moment where the market is forming and the relationships matter.

The Role

We are hiring a Founding GTM Lead to shape how Rise Data Labs goes to market. This is not a transactional sales role. You will work directly with AI researchers, applied science leaders, PMs, and platform teams to understand how human judgment fits into their training and evaluation workflows, and help translate that into long-term partnerships.

You will own strategic discovery, relationship-building, and revenue motion, building on top of an existing client base while helping define how this category is sold.

This role is full-time and remote, with occasional travel for key customer meetings.

What You’ll Do
  • Lead go-to-market strategy and early sales motion for Rise Data Labs
  • Engage AI researchers, applied scientists, PMs, and technical decision-makers at AI labs and enterprise teams
  • Run thoughtful outbound and inbound conversations to understand buying behavior and evaluation criteria
  • Identify where human data and post-training workflows break today
  • Build trusted relationships that lead to pilots, partnerships, and long-term programs
  • Own end-to-end sales cycles, including scoping, positioning, and commercial discussions
  • Collaborate closely with product, operations, and the founding team to shape offerings and messaging
  • Bring structured insights back to leadership to inform product direction and GTM strategy

Who This Is For

This role is a strong fit if you:
  • Have experience in strategic sales, business development, or partnerships with AI, ML, data, or research-heavy organizations
  • Are comfortable selling into complex, technical buying environments without overselling
  • Understand enterprise or lab-driven purchasing processes and stakeholder dynamics
  • Can translate technical capabilities into clear business value
  • Enjoy early-stage environments where the rules are still being written
  • Want real ownership and influence, not just a title
  • You don’t need to be an ML engineer. You do need credibility, curiosity, and strong instincts.
Compensation & Benefits
  • Competitive base salary
  • Performance-based bonus and/or commission (uncapped)
  • Meaningful early-stage equity
  • Health Insurance
  • Flexible PTO and paid holidays
  • Paid parental leave
  • Remote-friendly with occasional travel
  • Learning and development support
Salary Range: 150,000 - 200,000
