About the job
Claru (a Reka business line) is building the layer where the physical world is recorded in a form a model can learn from. We sell data to frontier labs and robotics companies as a two-sided marketplace. We are hiring a Program Lead and are looking for operators who are AI-native: more time with agents than with people, automation before hiring, systems that scale rather than teams that grow.
Responsibilities
- Turn an open-ended research need into a program with a scope, a standard, a timeline and agreed economics — then own the number
- Work directly with frontier labs and robotics teams to turn a research problem into something deliverable and own the relationship from first call to delivery
- Partner with our supply team to build the supply side from nothing if needed: recruit, activate and retain contributors and partner businesses
- Go at whichever blocker is in front of you: some days a spec or a tooling gap, other days a person, a partner or an incentive
- Act as product manager for the platform team: your field evidence decides what gets built next
- Build leverage as you go — agents, automation, playbooks — so the second program costs a fraction of the first
Qualifications
Minimum
- Early-stage marketplace operating experience required; you have had to get a flywheel turning from a standing start in a new territory or vertical
- AI-native required; you spend more time with agents than with people and automate a process before you staff it
- Structured problem solving under pressure using first principles
- Numerate; you build the model, find where the economics break, and argue for the change
- Credible with a research lead and with a shift supervisor alike
Preferred
- Former founders, high growth early stage startup hires, consulting, or business operations background
- Exposure to AI labs or training data pipelines
