About the role
(Internally we call this Supply Lead)
About Centaur Labs
Centaur Labs is the modern data labeling solution driving AI innovation across the healthcare industry.

Our expert crowd of 50k+ labelers, combined with our gamified DiagnosUs app for motivation and quality control, ensures scalable, high-quality labels are delivered in as little as 24 hours. We are backed by leading investors including Y Combinator, Matrix, and Accel, and recently closed a Series B led by SignalFire.
About the role
The Supply team keeps a scalable, healthy network of labelers flowing into every Centaur project. As Supply Lead, you own the entire labeler lifecycle - sourcing, contracting, onboarding, paying, supporting, and engaging - across both our app-based labeler community and our network of specialists. Labelers are the single biggest variable in project quality, which makes Supply one of the highest-impact functions in the company. Day-to-day, you make sure every project is staffed with the right people, at the right rate, on time.
This is an AI-native role by design. You'll work alongside systems that surface spend and quality dashboards in real time, track channel performance, and maintain the labeler taxonomy. Your job is to decide where the business goes - labeler payment rates, supply mix, fraud strategy, channel investment - and to push the systems harder where they aren't pulling their weight. The person who thrives here redesigns systems rather than runs them.
The unit economics of how every project gets staffed run through this role. You'll own the rate card, the partner mix, the labeler database, and the labeler experience - and you'll see the impact in our margin within your first quarter.
Responsibilities
- Own sourcing strategy and cost. Set pricing rate cards, negotiate partner agreements, and define the supply mix across channels.
