Strategic Project Lead (Domain Expert)

Job Type: Full-Time

Location: Remote

Your Role:

As a Strategic Projects Lead (SPL), you will be the main POC for our top AI Lab customers and manage a team of PhDs and Professors to train frontier AI models—with a strong focus on domain-specific experts in areas such as Healthcare, Legal, and Finance. You will ensure the highest standards in data integrity, scalability, and quality, overseeing the design and execution of workflows that structure, optimize, and manage large-scale data pipelines. This role requires an analytical mindset, strong technical expertise, and the ability to lead complex, cross-functional initiatives that directly support AI model development and performance.

What You’ll Do:

  • Own projects end to end, ensuring top AI Lab clients are extremely happy.
  • Own and manage complex, domain-specific data pipelines, improving efficiency, accuracy, and scalability.
  • Manage teams of Human Data Managers and Leads reviewing the work of subject-matter experts across Healthcare, Legal, Finance, and other regulated domains.
  • Communicate directly with top AI Labs on massive, high-impact projects.
  • Work with Human Data Engineers to define, track, and optimize KPIs across expert-driven workflows.
  • Provide executive-level insights and updates on key projects, data performance, and operational impact.
  • Report directly to our CEO and Head of Human Data.

Reasons to use Rodeo

I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?

Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.

Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.

Start with a chat, not a search bar

Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
