This is a high-level entrepreneurial role for a veteran business development leader (10+ years) with a deep understanding of the AI ecosystem. The ideal candidate has specialized experience in AI data marketplaces, ML infrastructure, or data annotation services. You should be comfortable in a "discovery" phase, moving quickly from identifying white-space opportunities to negotiating pilot agreements with technology innovators. This is a fully remote, 6-month contract with the potential to convert to a permanent full-time position. It offers a unique opportunity to build an AI-driven growth initiative from the ground up within an established professional education company. You will have a direct line to senior leadership, influencing the long-term strategy of a business serving over 1 million customers. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have a proven track record of closing strategic alliances in the AI/ML or data operations space. * Excel at operating in "ambiguity" and can translate dry market intelligence into actionable GTM strategies. * Possess the technical credibility to influence product and engineering stakeholders at frontier AI companies. * Are looking for a high-impact, remote leadership role that bridges education and AI technology.
