About the Mission
Turing Robotics is building datasets of human and robot activity to train the next generation of physical AI models. Our goal is to capture huge volumes of high-fidelity data across a diverse range of industries and daily activities.
We are looking for an experienced operational leader to work with us in building our India robotics data collection operation. You will not just be running a team; you will be building a logistical and commercial engine capable of sourcing partners, managing physical inventory, setting up secure sites, and executing high reliability data collection at scale.
The Role
You will be responsible for building the team, network, and infrastructure required to scale a range of data collection efforts in the region. You will support across the lifecycle from sourcing business partners (factories, kitchens, offices) and operators , to managing the "last mile" logistics of delivery, training, and data retrieval.
Key Responsibilities
Build a Scalable India Operation
- Team Building: Recruit and manage a high-performing local team across business/partner development, field operations, and quality management.
- Design for Scale: Establish India as a center of excellence for high volume data collection, creating standard operating procedures that will be used globally.
Source & Scale Partner Networks
- Business Partnerships: Drive strategies to partner with companies across diverse sectors (manufacturing, retail, healthcare, logistics) and negotiate access agreements for on-site data collection.
- Operator Network: Build recruitment funnels to onboard individual workers & operators.
Operational Execution & Logistics
- Hardware Management & Deployment: Oversee the import, storage and deployment of high-value hardware across multiple sites in India and provide first line
- Workflow Design: Test, iterate, refine & scale up the operational playbook for scaling data collection.
- Legal & Compliance: Work with counsel to ensure robust consent forms and liability waivers are in place for all participants, adhering to local regulations (e.g., India DPDP, GDPR).
Deliver International Support
- Playbook Replication: Support international teams in setting up their own partner/operator networks, field operational teams, and logistics chains based on the models validated in India.
- Cross-Border Standardization: Ensure standardisation of data quality as well as productivity & performance metrics across different territories.
Who You Are
- The Builder: You have 7+ years of commercial & operational experience, with at least 4+ years in a leadership role scaling a gig-economy platform (e.g., Uber, Swiggy, Urban Company), or complex logistics operation in India.
- Partnership Pro: You are comfortable selling a novel concept to business owners and navigating B2B service agreements.
- Operational Architect: You are a highly structured thinker with deep experience building playbooks, managing logistics, and utilizing software/automation tools to manage field operations and ensure high reliability at scale.
- Technical Background: You have a top-tier engineering or computer science background and are comfortable navigating complex topics related to data pipelines, hardware, and computer vision.
- Legally/Financially Savvy: You have experience navigating commercial contracts, labor laws, and contractor compliance.
- Domestic & International Travel: You are comfortable travelling as required to both setup & run domestic sites and support international market launches.
Why Join Us?
