Job Description
We are hiring a Data Product Lead to help build Epoch AI’s Data Hub into the go-to source for information and analysis on AI trends. Epoch AI is already producing some of the best research worldwide on training compute, frontier AI capabilities and more. We want to go beyond and create a better offering of data and evidence to inform discussion on AI.
For this, we are building a pipeline producing clear, compelling data insights: graphics and short write-ups exploring key questions and trends in AI. This role would lead several key parts of Epoch’s data work: writing a newsletter to curate and publicize data insights, figuring out the best way to position and present our work, and producing data insights weekly alongside our team of analysts and researchers.
We expect this role to have a significant impact on the public discourse on AI, helping raise the standards and provide evidence that directly informs the priorities of government, AI companies and the world at large regarding the development and deployment of advanced AI.
This role is fully remote and we expect to be legally able to hire in most countries.
If you are unsure whether we can hire in the country you are based in, please email careers@epochai.org.
While we welcome applicants from all time zones, you may be expected to attend meetings during working hours between UTC-8 and UTC+3 time zones. This role is open to full-time and part-time candidates, although we have a slight preference for full-time position.
Responsibilities
As a Data Product Lead, your main responsibilities will include:
- Build our data offering – we plan to curate data updates in a newsletter, which we want to be the best resource in the world to stay informed about AI. You will lead this, producing each issue, writing the content, and determining the best format.
- Take our data insights to the next level in terms of positioning, presentation, and writing. You will support analysts and researchers to produce great work with your guidance, particularly in delivering polished outputs that will engage readers.
- Lead the process around preparing weekly data insights. This is a mixture of timing practicalities (deadlines and check-ins), and ensuring that methodological issues are resolved promptly.
- Help select what data we collect, how we collect it, and how it will translate into data insights. The rest of Epoch will help you here, but ultimately, you will play a key role in positioning our data products.
Role Requirements
We think you would be a great candidate for this role if you:
- Have a product-oriented mindset,
- Are able to imagine and execute ambitious projects advancing our mission of informing the public about the trajectory of AI,
- Have experience leading research focused on data analysis,
- Thrive on boiling down high-level problems into tractable analyses,
- Are able to rapidly and independently execute data insights following a rigorous methodology – and support and guide other team members to do this themselves,
- Are highly self-directed and passionate about AI research – we’re hoping you will be actively following the literature, and would be familiar enough to immediately start brainstorming methodology for insights on key topics.
- Have excellent writing and presentation skills, especially for publicising research beyond typical academic publishing.
- Are comfortable with remote work and asynchronous collaboration using G Suite and other technologies (we’re a remote-first organisation with staff in multiple time zones).
If you don’t tick all these boxes but think you would be a great fit, please consider applying anyway!
