About the Role

We are hiring a General Manager (GM) with a founder’s mindset and operator’s discipline to lead strategic accounts across frontier AI labs. This role carries end-to-end P&L accountability — you will act as the CEO of your accounts, driving financial outcomes, deepening technical partnerships, and ensuring delivery excellence.

The ideal candidate brings entrepreneurial ownership, technical fluency, and investment-level commercial instincts. You know how to build in ambiguity, create structure where none exists, and translate cutting-edge research needs into business growth.

 

Responsibilities

  • Own full P&L accountability for assigned frontier AI lab accounts
  • Expand and deepen existing partnerships, structuring new engagements that align with customer priorities and Turing’s financial goals
  • Shape, scope, and launch multi-million-dollar programs across RLHF, evaluation, scaling, data pipelines, and agentic workflows
  • Lead executive-level commercial discussions with research leadership and technical sponsors
  • Translate ambiguous or early-stage research objectives into executable programs with clear scope, milestones, and ROI
  • Oversee health and profitability of all active programs, ensuring responsiveness to shifting technical requirements
  • Partner with internal teams to align delivery capabilities with evolving customer needs, without direct ownership of delivery execution
  • Capture customer and technical signals to inform Turing’s service design, roadmap, and AGI infrastructure strategy
  • Act as trusted technical-commercial partner for researchers, infra engineers, and executives inside customer labs

Requirements

  • Founder/operator background with direct experience owning budgets, scaling products, or exiting startups
  • Demonstrated ability to expand and grow high-value accounts in complex, research-driven environments
  • Strong technical fluency in generative AI, foundation models, and adjacent workflows (CoT, RAG, alignment, evaluation, safety)
  • Comfort engaging both researchers and C-level stakeholders, flexing between technical depth and executive clarity
  • Track record of translating zero-to-one opportunities into scalable, repeatable programs inside existing customer bases
  • Highly organized and resilient, able to manage concurrent workstreams and account-level P&L responsibilities
  • Commercial instincts that balance growth, profitability, and long-term strategic alignment

Values:

  • We are client first: We put our clients at the center of everything we do, because their success is the ultimate measure of our value.
  • We work at Start-Up Speed: We move fast, stay agile and favor action because momentum is the foundation of perfection
  • We are Al forward: We help our clients build the future of Al and implement it in our own roles and workflow to amplify productivity.

Advantages of joining Turing:

  • Amazing work culture (Super collaborative & supportive work environment; 5 days a week)
  • Awesome colleagues (Surround yourself with top talent from Meta, Google, LinkedIn etc. as well as people with deep startup experience)
  • Competitive compensation
  • Flexible working hours
