Parsewave builds evaluation and post-training data for frontier AI labs. We work on custom datasets, expert evaluations, reasoning traces, and other data used to train and test advanced AI models.
We are hiring someone to help with client outreach and relations.
The job is straightforward to describe but difficult to do well: research the right people, understand what they care about, and write emails and messages that actually get replies.
What you will do
- Research AI labs, researchers, teams, and potential clients
- Write thoughtful, personalised emails and messages
- Manage follow-ups without sounding automated or pushy
- Learn Parsewave’s work, pitch, clients, and communication style
- Track conversations and make sure promising leads do not go cold
- Improve our outreach based on what gets replies
- Help maintain client relationships once conversations begin
What we are looking for
Excellent written and spoken English is essential. Your writing should sound human, natural, and sharp. Generic, over-polished AI copy will be an immediate no.
You should have a basic understanding of AI. You should roughly know how models are trained and what researchers at companies such as OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind work on. You do not need to be a researcher.
You should learn quickly and work independently. We will teach you our pitch, tools, and style, but we do not want someone who needs constant instructions or follow-ups.
You should also be reliable and easy to work with: low ego, responsive, and able to get things done without drama or unnecessary delays.
Experience with cold outreach, sales, marketing, partnerships, or client relations is useful, especially if you can show real replies, meetings, or other outcomes. It is not compulsory.
This may be a good fit if you have worked in a founder’s office, at an AI or developer-tools startup, in partnerships or community, or as a strong technical or B2B writer.
How to stand out
Along with your application, include:
1. A short writing sample that represents your natural voice.
2. An example of an email, message, campaign, or piece of writing that produced a real response or result. If you do not have one, tell us how you would research and approach a potential client at an AI lab.
We care more about judgment, writing quality, learning speed, and reliability than credentials or years of experience.
