• Collaborating with the legal and ethics department to ensure compliance with data privacy and access regulations, and analyzing and reducing inherent biases in the datasets.
• Implementing processes to update the datasets to respect opt-in/opt-out customers' settings.
• Leading a team of data engineers, data scientists and data analysts in designing, building and maintaining a robust, scalable and efficient AI data platform
• Monitor, analyze and report on the performance of the platform, identifying areas for improvement and making data-driven decisions to optimize the platform's performance and return on investment.

What you need to succeed

• Strong experience in data management, including building and scaling data lake management systems and data pipelines
• Strong experience in data curation and ethical sourcing of data, with knowledge of data privacy regulations
• Strong experience in product management with a track record of delivering successful products and features in the AI/ML space
