TL;DR · Music Content Operations AIML Program Lead

The Music Content Operations AIML Program Lead joins the Content Operations team to drive a strategic initiative scaling music content operations through models, agents, and automation. This individual contributor role serves as a technical liaison between operational workflows and data science and engineering teams. You will translate complex operational realities into technical requirements, develop agentic systems, and establish infrastructure to integrate these tools into existing curation workflows. Key responsibilities include defining hybrid operating models where humans remain in the loop for high-risk decisions, building evaluation frameworks like golden sets and quality metrics, and designing human-in-the-loop tooling. The role requires expertise in LLM-based workflows, prompt evaluation, MLOps, and agentic architectures. You will solve the challenge of transitioning manual music curation into a scalable system using advanced technology to manage metadata, content risk, and editorial judgment.

What you'll do

  • Develop and execute strategies to scale music curation through AI models, agents, and automation.
  • Translate complex operational challenges into technical requirements for engineering and data science teams.
  • Build infrastructure to integrate agentic systems into existing content curation workflows.
  • Define the operating model for human-in-the-loop systems to manage high-risk or quality-critical decisions.
  • Create evaluation frameworks, including golden sets and quality metrics, to judge if AI solutions are production-ready.
  • Design tools that surface model outputs and confidence scores for human reviewers to validate.
  • Conduct ROI and impact analyses to prioritize long-term structural automation over short-term wins.
  • Create executive-level narratives and presentations to communicate progress and trade-offs to leadership.

What we're looking for

  • Minimum of 5 years of experience in operations, program management, or technical product roles with exposure to AI/ML workflows.
  • Experience translating operational problems into ML requirements and working with data scientists and engineers through development cycles.
  • Exposure to LLM-based workflows, prompt evaluation, or agentic automation for content moderation or classification.
  • Experience evaluating model outputs by designing eval sets, quality metrics, error analysis, and human feedback loops.
  • Experience designing or specifying review/annotation tooling that surfaces AI inputs to human reviewers.
  • Conceptual understanding of core analytics principles including sampling, hypothesis testing, and statistical measurement.
  • Ability to produce executive-ready written narratives and presentations for senior leadership.
  • Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Business, Economics, or equivalent experience.
