## Job description

We are an early-stage startup building AI tools for hardware manufacturers navigating complex global regulatory requirements. We are a small, fast-moving team. Our regulatory data team builds, curates and maintains the regulatory library that powers everything in the AI product. The quality, breadth, completeness and timeliness of that data is what makes the product work.

## About the Role

We are hiring a Regulatory Data Operations Lead to join our data team. You will own outcomes — the quality, completeness, and coverage of our regulatory data library across multiple industrial verticals. You will work independently, design your own workflows, and take full ownership of the data streams assigned to you. We are scaling aggressively beyond automotive into non-road, marine, industrial machinery, and other hardware verticals. The person in this role is what makes that expansion possible — you will be the one ensuring we have the right data to confidently approach new customers, run demos, and deliver for signed pilots.

## What You'll Do

- Own the research, collection, and quality of regulatory data across multiple industrial verticals — from scoping sources to final ingestion-ready output
- Design and execute efficient data collection workflows using AI tools; you will not just use AI tools passively — you will figure out how to use them to do the work faster and better
- Ensure data completeness, accuracy, and timeliness for the verticals you own — including staying on top of regulatory updates
- Independently ramp up on new industries, regions, and regulatory frameworks — you will regularly be handed an unfamiliar vertical and expected to find your feet, identify the right sources, and deliver quality output
- Contribute to the quality standard of the whole team — your work sets the bar
- Collaborate closely with the team on methodology, prioritization, and customer-facing data needs (demos, pilots, new verticals)
- Coordinate with the broader data team on collection tasks and quality checks

You'll Be a Great Fit If You take ownership seriously

- You hold yourself to a high standard across everything you do
- You think before you start: you map out a smart approach before diving into execution
- You follow through without being chased, and you are bothered when your output falls short You are a fast, independent learner
- You can walk into an unfamiliar industry — industrial machinery, marine engineering, a new legal framework — and figure out what you need to know without someone guiding you step by step
- You adapt quickly when workflows or priorities change; you do not need stability to be productive
- You are genuinely excited about using AI tools to work better and faster — and you keep pace as those tools evolve You have a technical foundation with a business mindset
- You have a 3+ years background in 1) ideally hardware engineering — enough to understand how physical products are designed, built, and regulated across industries, or 2) business roles in fast-moving tech companies, or 3) legal compliance
- You are not locked into one vertical; you are curious about new ones and your engineering intuition travels
- You understand that good data is not just technically correct — it has to actually serve the people using it; you think about the customer, not just the spec

Nice-to-Have

- Prior experience in regulatory, compliance, or standards research
- Experience in a startup or fast-moving environment
- Hands-on use of Claude Code in professional work

## What We Offer

- Full-time role with a fast-growing AI startup
- Direct ownership and responsibility from day one — this is not a support role
- Work directly with the founding team
- Remote-first with a small, high-trust team
- Location: we can hire anywhere in Europe, and you can work from anywhere within Europe

Important: If interested, please apply with your resume at my email: njc.vox@gmail.com or here directly in the form.
