Director of Data & AI

• Curri is building the network and software that move the world’s goods with speed, intelligence, and trust
• We’re looking for a Director of Data — an AI-forward leader who owns Curri’s data end to end, from the analytics that steer the business to the machine learning that ships into the product
• This is not a reporting-and-dashboards role
• You’ll set the data and ML roadmap, partner with product and engineering to turn data into shipped features, and build the team and platform that make Curri smarter with every delivery
• Roadmap & product impact:
• Own the data and machine learning roadmap, and tie it directly to product outcomes and company metrics
• Partner with product, engineering, and operations to turn data into shipped features — smarter routing, batching, deadhead reduction, pricing, and ETA accuracy
• Bring an AI-forward point of view: identify where machine learning and modern AI make the product materially better, and drive those bets from concept to production
• Machine learning:
• Lead the strategy for machine learning in the Curri product — routing and optimization, demand forecasting, pricing, and delivery intelligence
• Move models from prototype to production and own their performance, monitoring, and iteration in the real world
• Make build-vs-buy calls on models, tooling, and AI infrastructure
• Analytics & decision-making:
• Own the analytics function that steers the business — the metrics, dashboards, and analyses leadership relies on
• Drive data-informed decision-making across the company, from GTM to operations to finance
• Deepen Curri’s understanding of customers and lanes — penetration, expansion, and delivery economics
• Platform & foundations:
• Own the data platform and warehouse (Snowflake), including modeling, semantics, and quality
• Set the standard for data governance, reliability, and trust so the whole company can build on it
• Ensure the pipelines and infrastructure scale with Curri’s growth
• Team & leadership:
• Build, hire, and mentor a high-performing data and ML team
• Set the bar for craft, and establish the analytical foundations and best practices as the team grows

Benefits

• Health, dental, vision
• 401K
• Equity compensation grant

• Genuine depth in machine learning: you’ve shipped models into production and owned their outcomes
• Fluency with a modern data stack (Snowflake or equivalent) and the judgment to build the right foundations
• A builder’s bias and clear communication, comfortable going hands-on early while scaling a team, and able to earn trust from both executives and engineers
• Strong product and business instincts, with a history of connecting data work to measurable outcomes and influencing a roadmap alongside product and engineering leaders
• 8+ years in data and/or ML, including 3+ leading teams at a high-growth company, with a track record of product impact
• Experience standing up an AI-native / agentic approach to data and internal tooling
• Logistics, marketplace, or operations-heavy domain experience
