As the VP of Research, you will lead teams of AI Researchers, Engineers, and Linguists to develop advanced natural language technologies for multilingual writing and communication products. Your scope will span both the applied AI/ML teams building state-of-the-art NLP solutions and the linguistics experts who ensure our tools are grounded in deep language insight.
In this role, you won’t just be building better models to hand off to Product & Engineering. This role represents a unique opportunity to shape the vision of the core product experience of the organization: personalized multilingual writing assistance technology.
You will drive innovation across core areas like paraphrasing, grammar checking, summarization, and translation—while also shaping the long-term vision for language technologies that power world-class writing and communication tools. You’ll mentor technical leaders, champion a culture of research excellence and product impact, and partner closely with product, design, and executive leadership to turn groundbreaking ideas into widely-used, meaningful tools.
