Business Systems & Analytics Lead

Video is 90% of the worlds data. Most of it is invisible to machines.
TwelveLabs builds the intelligence layer to change that. Our multimodal AI models understand video the way humans do across sight sound and motion and power production-scale AI workloads across media entertainment sports security and government.

We have raised more than $210 million from NEA Radical Ventures Amazon NVIDIA Snowflake Databricks Index Ventures NAVER Ventures Korea Investment Partners Quadrille Capital Red Bull Ventures and AI pioneers including Fei-Fei Li Silvio Savarese and Alexandr Wang.

We are a global company headquartered in San Francisco with offices in Seoul New York and London and employees around the world. We believe the differences in our cultural educational and life experiences make our products stronger. Building technology that understands the world in all its complexity requires people who see it from every angle. We are looking for individuals who are driven by hard problems and want their work to matter. Come build it with us!

As our Lead Business Systems & Analytics you will be the first dedicated business systems hire at TwelveLabs. Your job will be to implement enduring systems & analytics architecture across TwelveLabs. Clear systems of record data that flows between them without human intervention and a reporting layer every team can trust.

This is deliberately a hybrid role. Roughly half of your time will be around systems. This involves owning the stack running implementations building integrations and setting master data standards across the business. The other half is analytics - turning that clean data into the dashboards and metric definitions that leadership and the board actually run the company on. We are hiring for someone who wants both halves because the two reinforce each other: nobody builds good reporting on a stack they dont understand and nobody designs a good stack without knowing what has to come out the other end.

You will report to the Head of Finance and start as an individual contributor with company-wide scope. Finance and the core business systems are the first priority but this role is horizontal by design. GTM People and Engineering are all customers and we expect you to operate credibly with any of them. As the function grows this seat is the foundation for a team.
