Growth Operations Lead

AI overview

Drive high-impact growth initiatives and design strategies to accelerate revenue and market presence for the Label Studio platform and Data Creation Laboratory services.

The future of AI — whether in training or evaluation, classical ML or agentic workflows — starts with high-quality data.

At HumanSignal, we’re building the platform that powers the creation, curation, and evaluation of that data. From fine-tuning foundation models to validating agent behaviors in production, our tools are used by leading AI teams to ensure models are grounded in real-world signal, not noise.

Our open-source product, Label Studio, has become the de facto standard for labeling and evaluating data across modalities — from text and images to time series and agents-in-environments. With over 250,000 users and hundreds of millions of labeled samples, it’s the most widely adopted OSS solution for teams working on building AI systems. 

Label Studio Enterprise builds on that traction with the security, collaboration, and scalability features needed to support mission-critical AI pipelines — powering everything from model training datasets to eval test sets to continuous feedback loops.We started before foundation models were mainstream, and we’re doubling down now that AI is eating the world. If you're excited to help leading AI teams build smarter, more accurate systems — we’d love to talk.

As HumanSignal continues its rapid expansion in the AI infrastructure space, we are seeking a Growth Lead to drive initiatives that will accelerate revenue and market presence. This multifaceted role demands a unique combination of strategic thinking, operational excellence, and analytical rigor, with the goal of catalyzing growth as we scale our Label Studio platform and Data Creation Laboratory services.

Through our Data Creation Laboratories, we're pioneering a new category: manufacturing purpose-built datasets from scratch in controlled environments. This isn't about labeling what exists—it's about creating the human-generated data that will unlock the next generation of AI capabilities. As we scale this operation alongside our platform business, you'll be at the center of defining how we grow.

You Will:

  • Lead high-impact growth initiatives, working closely with cross-functional teams including Engineering, Operations, Product, and Go-to-Market
  • Design and optimize growth strategies, acquisition funnels, and expansion pipelines that align with the needs of frontier labs, enterprises, and our evolving market
  • Own growth operations end-to-end, ensuring flawless execution and strategic alignment across the organization
  • Deliver regular progress insights to HumanSignal's leadership team, shaping the company's strategic direction
  • Solve the company's most critical growth challenges, establishing new benchmarks for how AI infrastructure companies scale

Ideally, You'd Have:

  • 5+ years of experience in growth, product, operations, or software engineering roles
  • Experience with operations-intensive business models (e.g., marketplaces, on-demand platforms, supply chain, logistics, or services delivery)
  • Strong technical foundation with the ability to conduct sophisticated data analysis using SQL or Python (STEM degree preferred)
  • Exceptional problem-solving skills and analytical mindset, with a track record of using data to drive growth strategies (consulting or operational experience is a plus)
  • An entrepreneurial approach to building—you're energized by ambiguity and thrive when scaling new products or services from zero to one
  • Comfort working in fast-moving environments where you'll need to balance strategic thinking with hands-on execution

This role is pivotal to ensuring HumanSignal not only sustains its growth momentum but accelerates it to capture greater market share in the AI data infrastructure landscape. The ideal candidate brings deep experience, a sophisticated understanding of growth mechanics, and a proven ability to deliver results in high-pressure, high-growth environments.

About HumanSignal

At HumanSignal, we're building the infrastructure for the next generation of AI. Our Label Studio platform powers data operations for leading organizations worldwide, while our Data Creation Laboratories manufacture the purpose-built datasets that breakthrough AI applications require.

We believe the next frontiers in AI won't be unlocked by scraping what's left on the web—they'll be built on human-created data that captures the complexity of how systems need to see, hear, reason, and react. Through controlled environments and operational excellence, we're enabling researchers and enterprises to innovate without being constrained by data availability.

We work with frontier AI labs, Fortune 500 enterprises, and government agencies who are pushing the boundaries of what's possible with AI. Join us in building the data that will build the future.

We are proud to be an inclusive and equal opportunity workplace. We are committed to equal employment opportunity regardless of race, color, ancestry, religion, sex, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital status, disability status, gender identity, or Veteran status.

At HumanSignal we pay based on regional compensation market rate ranges across the globe. We are hiring for this role across North and South America as well as Europe. The base cash compensation range is $90,000 to $140,000 USD. These ranges are provided by market data and are in good faith. The final offer details are determined by several factors including candidate experience, expertise, as well as applicable industry knowledge and may vary from the pay ranges listed above.

We build software that helps people do what only they can do – give meaning. Data fills our modern world. It flows prolifically inside organizations, customer interactions, product usage, environmental research, healthcare imaging, and beyond. What if we could use any of this historical data to predict the future? In most cases, we can now make predictions through Machine Learning & AI, but to do so in a meaningful and impactful way, historical data needs to be accurate, comprehensive, and without bias.   To make the best predictions, we believe teams with domain expertise should be responsible for annotating and curating data. It's called data labeling, and it’s a process of real people giving meaning to the information they see on the screen. HumanSignal was founded to take data labeling operations to the next level and help data scientists make better predictions.
