About the Role :

As Fetch continues to expand the role of AI across our platform, the AI Operations team plays a critical role in ensuring our AI systems are accurate, scalable, and trustworthy.

As Manager, AI Operations, you will lead a multidisciplinary team focused on operational excellence in AI system support.
