About the role

  • Strategy and planning for multimodal data capture
  • Setup and management of capture environments
  • Execution through internal teams and third parties
  • Data organisation, governance, and quality control
  • Continuous improvement of capture pipelines as Lumi evolves
  • This is a highly autonomous role with real operational responsibility and influence over how Lumi scales.
  • Define and own the strategy for capturing multimodal data (audio, video, images), aligned with product and operational goals.
  • Translate internal requirements into concrete capture specifications (modalities, environments, formats, volumes, quality thresholds).
  • Decide when data should be captured internally, commissioned externally, or sourced via partners or third-party providers.
  • Design and run data capture programmes across labs, customer sites, pilots, and internal environments.
  • Identify, secure, and organise capture spaces, including studios, labs, offices, or temporary setups.
  • Oversee setup of capture environments, including equipment, layouts, and workflows.
  • Coordinate and manage the people doing the capture, including internal teams, contractors, partners, and customers.
  • Build repeatable, well-documented processes that allow data capture to scale without chaos.
  • Own the pipeline from raw data capture through storage, validation, and delivery to downstream teams.
  • Work with engineering to ensure data is traceable, accessible, and well structured.
  • Define and enforce quality checks to ensure captured data meets agreed standards.
  • Source, onboard, and manage external data capture partners and vendors.
  • Monitor and manage cost, throughput, and quality, to the highest possible standard.
  • Continuously evaluate buy vs build vs partner approaches to data capture.
  • Work closely with scientists and domain experts to ensure captured data reflects real-world lab behaviour.
  • Support compliance, security, and privacy requirements (e.g. GDPR) across all capture workflows.
  • Ensure appropriate consent and usage rights are in place for all captured data.
  • Define KPIs for capture quality, coverage, cost, latency, and reusability.
  • Identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies in capture operations and resolve them.
  • Continuously evolve capture methods as Lumi expands into new domains and use cases.

Requirements

  • Experience owning or running large-scale data capture or data acquisition operations, particularly involving audio and/or visual data.
  • Proven ability to set up and manage physical or remote capture environments.
  • Experience coordinating internal teams, contractors, or external partners.
  • Strong operational mindset with the ability to design processes and make them work in practice.
  • Comfort operating across technical, scientific, and operational domains.
  • Strong organisational skills and attention to detail, without losing sight of the bigger picture.
  • Excellent communication skills and confidence working with senior stakeholders.
  • Experience with data governance, compliance, or regulated environments is a plus.
  • Background in media operations, AV production, lab operations, or data operations is highly desirable.
