JOB SUMMARY

Specific ResponsibilitiesLearner Supply & InstrumentationBuild a repeatable pipeline of beta learners, engaging the right internal teams to keep them flowing — the constraint that gates everything else, and it rewards hustle over process.Instrument the AI products in partnership with the LLMOps Engineer — you instrument; they build the evals over what is captured.The Experiment LoopOwn the experiment loop — a backlog of the team’s biggest uncertainties, experiments designed against them, cycle time measured and shrinking.Close the loop: data reviewed, UX and learning validation captured, improvements shipped, and the next PoC out the door.Skill Requirements - EssentialProduct experimentation: you have run it end-to-end, hypothesis, instrumentation, decision. A/B testing or structured product testing on a live product.Technical fluency: you can talk concretely about instrumenting a product, read AI-eval results, and hold your own with engineers. You don’t need to code daily.Operator ability: recruiting and coordinating real users, running a beta programme, and wrangling stakeholders.Desirable (not required): hands-on eval or analytics skills; EdTech experience.Essential Traits for SuccessYou have a scientific mindset. You know what an experiment can and can’t conclude, and your favourite experiments include ones that killed an idea you loved.You’d enjoy the question “how would you get 50 beta learners in two weeks with no budget?” enough to start answering it in the interview.
