About the role
About Standard Bots Standard Bots is building the next generation of industrial robots — hardware that's powerful, affordable, and designed to scale. We're the largest U.S. industrial robotics company by robots shipped, and we're growing fast. This role keeps one of our most important production operations running on time and on target. Note: This is a full-time, on-site role at our Glen Cove, NY manufacturing facility.
The Role We're looking for a Data Collection Operations Manager to run our on-site data collection floor.
The team you'll manage is responsible for collecting the hands-on demonstration data that fuels the building and training of Standard Bots' AI models — the same models that will shape how automation works on factory floors for years to come. Right now that means managing a team of collectors doing structured, repetitive hands-on work in a controlled environment. As
the team scales, you'll eventually build the supervisory layer underneath you and shift more into a pure management role. Think of it like running a production line: the work is defined, the targets are clear, and your job is to keep
the team moving, the quality high, and the numbers on track. This is a player-coach role to start. You're not just directing — you're on the floor, working alongside
the team, learning the work, and setting the standard. You'll also coordinate with internal teams to make sure your crew always has what they need, and own the metrics that tell us whether we're on pace to hit our aggressive end-of-year target. You'll report directly to the Head of AI Solutions & Strategy.
What You'll Do Floor Operations & Team Management - Run day-to-day operations for our data collection floor - Be hands-on with the work yourself, especially early on — you set the standard by doing it, not just directing it - Track weekly output against the pace needed to hit our end-of-year target — flag shortfalls early and fix them fast - Keep
