Data Collection Partnerships Lead at Sieve · LumiJobs

Responsibilities

You’ll build and scale Sieve’s network of external data collection vendors, owning both new vendor development and ongoing vendor management. You’ll source and qualify collection companies and local operations teams, negotiate agreements, launch pilots, and manage those relationships through accepted data collection hours and sustained production across countries, environments, and data types.
Our partners bring their own access and collection operations. You’ll own those relationships and their commercial and operational performance, working with our hardware, engineering, quality, and delivery teams to ensure the data meets Sieve’s requirements.
Strong fits have personally developed external suppliers or operated distributed production networks. You should enjoy both the commercial work of building a partnership and the detailed follow-through that makes it productive.
Build the vendor pipeline: Own sourcing and qualification of collection vendors across countries, environments, and data types. Assess their access, staffing, equipment, economics, and demonstrated collection capabilities.
Qualify through real output: Run structured sample reviews and pilots with our technical teams. Establish what a partner can reliably produce before committing to a larger program.
Own commercial negotiations: Negotiate pricing, payment schedules, volume ramps, and performance commitments. Work with legal and finance to establish clear agreements covering data rights and each party’s responsibilities.
Turn pilots into production: Translate collection requirements into concrete partner plans, milestones, and onboarding steps. Coordinate internal support so promising partners move into production quickly.
Own ongoing vendor management: Manage the relationship beyond onboarding and pilots. Run regular reviews of accepted data collection hours, quality, cost, coverage, and delivery reliability. Expand successful vendors and address underperformance directly.
Resolve operational blockers: Work with partners and internal teams to fix collection, upload, equipment, and quality issues. Set corrective actions, assign owners, and follow through until problems are resolved.
Build a repeatable operating system: Maintain clear records of agreements, specifications, pilot results, production capacity, and risks. Create playbooks for pricing & region targets, qualifying partners more quickly, and more.
What Success Looks Like
Promising partners move efficiently from first conversation to successful pilots and sustained production.
