Summary

Coaches managers on leadership, performance, and team dynamics while designing scalable people systems including compensation, career frameworks, and feedback processes for a high-growth AI research lab.

About the role

What You’ll Do

  • Coach managers by observing how they lead, identifying strengths and blind spots, and working on continuous improvement.
  • Advise leadership on organizational decisions: team structure, succession planning, and strategic people choices that shape how we work.

  • Create career/leveling frameworks that work for a research lab where career advancement often doesn’t mean managing people, contributions such as mentorship and taste are harder to measure, and where senior researchers expect to grow and learn even after a decade in the role.
