• Strong understanding of the AI/ML research ecosystem, including research trends, benchmarks, evaluations, and technical communities.

• Exceptional written communication skills with the ability to communicate effectively with both technical and broader audiences.

• Strong analytical judgment and ability to evaluate whether technical claims, supporting evidence, and research materials are ready for external publication.

• Experience building relationships with researchers, technical leaders, developers, or AI communities.

• Strong ownership and ability to take ambiguous initiatives from strategy through execution.

• Strong cross-functional collaboration skills and ability to work closely with research teams while maintaining a high standard for technical accuracy and quality.
