About Snorkel At Snorkel, we believe meaningful AI doesn’t start with the model, it starts with the data. We’re on a mission to help enterprises transform expert knowledge into specialized AI at scale. The AI landscape has gone through incredible changes since 2015, when Snorkel started as a research project in the Stanford AI Lab, to the generative AI breakthroughs of today.

But one thing has remained constant: the data you use to build AI is the key to achieving differentiation, high performance, and production-ready systems. We work with some of the world’s largest organizations to empower scientists, engineers, financial experts, product creators, journalists, and more to build custom AI with their data faster than ever before. Excited to help us redefine how AI is built?

About This Role

We're looking for a Staff HR Business Partner to build and own the people strategy for Snorkel's Data as a Service (DaaS) organization. The DaaS org is a delivery-first team that has more than tripled in size over the last six months, with no signs of slowing. They deliver high-quality data operations and AI deployment outcomes for frontier labs and AI teams.

This org has a unique composition: forward deployed engineers, technical and operations delivery managers, a supply team managing a workforce comprised of multiple worker types at scale, and others. The people challenges here require an HRBP who has seen this kind of complexity before, such as workforce planning across FTEs and contractors, building a high performance culture rooted in delivery outcomes, and keeping a geographically dispersed, operationally complex team connected to Snorkel's culture. You'll partner directly with our DaaS GM and leadership team, and you'll need to be as comfortable in the operational weeds as you are in strategic conversations.

The ideal background is professional services, managed services, or a delivery-heavy tech org. Somewhere you learned to support talent that ships outcomes, not just features. If you're a generalist HRBP looking for your first exposure to delivery org complexity, this likely isn't the right fit.

If you've lived it and want to build something from a strong foundation at a company at the frontier of AI, we'd love to talk.
