Open roles

What you own

• The work you ship, end to end: the plan, the team, the quality, the client, the margin.
• The quality system. How work gets scored against a written standard, what goes back for a rewrite, and what goes out the door. This is most of the job.
• Growth. Taking a project from dozens of experts to more than a thousand is a structure problem, and you build the structure.
• Four numbers, posted every week, so nobody has to ask how it is going.

What we need

• Five years or more of work, with at least three running projects end to end where failing would have cost real money, and it did not fail.
• Time spent somewhere data quality was the product, whether that was running data projects, research operations or analytics.
• You have coordinated large groups of people who did not report to you.
• Professional English, used with clients every day. Consulting experience is welcome if you owned the result and not just the advice.

What you own

• The environments. Build, containerise and version the tasks models train and get evaluated in, with setup and teardown that behave the same way every run.
• Grading. Turn an expert's judgment into a scorer that runs on its own, and know when a task still needs a person instead.
• The harness. Run models against environments at scale, keep results reproducible, and make failures easy to debug.
• The bridge to our experts. Turn real work from someone who knows a field into a task that is hard for a model and fair to score.

What we need

• Strong Python, and you are comfortable a layer down in containers, CI and cloud infrastructure.
• You have built something a model or an agent interacts with: a simulator, a sandbox, a test harness, a grading pipeline or an evaluation suite.
• You can read a paper and turn it into working code.
• You care about correctness. A reward that is quietly wrong is worse than no reward at all.
• Professional English. Barcelona based, or in our time zone.

What you own

• The network. Signing the best universities in Europe, from career services all the way up to deans.
• The programme, country by country, so students get real academic credit and we stay on the right side of the rules in every market.
• Filling the cohorts. A new group of students starts every month, and they do not fill themselves.
• The team. You hire the two or three people who run this with you once it works.

What we need

• Five years or more in university partnerships, employer relations, academic programmes or placements, with a network you can name.
• You have worked across Europe rather than one country, and you know how differently Spain, Germany, France, the Nordics and Benelux behave.
• You have built a placement or internship programme from nothing, including the boring legal and admin parts.
• Professional English plus at least one other European language. Barcelona based or willing to move.

What you own

• The monthly close, start to finish. You run it, you sign it off, and it lands on the same date every month.
• Paying the experts across every country we work in, on time and correct. This is the part people feel directly.
• Collections. Chasing a late invoice sits with you, not with the founders.
• Two numbers every week without being asked: cash in the bank, and how long it lasts.

What we need

• Three years or more in finance at a startup or scale-up, where the process did not exist yet and the answer was needed today.
• Three years or more of hands-on accounting. You have closed books and defended how you treated something, not only reported on it.
• Real experience with Spanish tax and statutory filings, withholding on contractor invoices, VAT, and the monthly and quarterly returns.
• Professional English and Spanish. Barcelona based or willing to move.

What you own

• The story. Turn our research into things people actually read and repeat.
• Press. Build real relationships with journalists, land coverage, and run our announcements.
• Everything we publish, from LinkedIn and X to the blog and the long pieces that say what we think about AI in Europe.
• The brand. Voice, look, message, and every launch moment from start to finish.

What we need

• Five years or more in communications, PR, content or editorial, owning the result rather than executing inside a big team.
• A strong writer. This one is not negotiable. You can take a complicated idea and make it sharp and worth sharing.
• You have pitched journalists, landed coverage and run an announcement.
• Comfortable with technical subjects, and English at native or near-native level. Spanish is a plus.
