Yipit Data’s Corporate team collaborates directly with organizations like Ulta, 3M, and Scotts Miracle‑Grove to build one of the most comprehensive views into how consumers in the U.S. are purchasing and engaging with brands. By transforming massive volumes of consumer data into accurate, reliable, and actionable insights, we enable our clients to understand not just what is happening in their businesses, but why—and to use that understanding to make higher‑confidence decisions in an increasingly competitive landscape.

As part of our continued growth, we are expanding the Data team within our Corporate practice and are excited to welcome a Director of Product Classification to help deliver the most accurate category insights to our Retail and Brands clients.

As an Associate Director, Product Classification, you will be the operational leader of our Product Classification organization — the team responsible for ensuring every product in our datasets is accurately categorized to meet the precise needs of our clients. You'll own the people, processes, and accountability frameworks that drive classification accuracy at scale, while maintaining excellent cross‑functional partnerships with Engineering, Data, and our client‑facing teams.

This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who thrives in ambiguity & rapid growth. You will be hands‑on in building and managing a multi‑layered team — including a Data Classification and a Manual Data Quality team — and you'll be responsible for recruiting, training, and creating a culture of operational excellence and continuous improvement. You'll set the metrics that hold people accountable, build the systems that make the team scalable, and ensure our classification quality is best‑in‑class.

This is a remote‑friendly opportunity that can sit in NYC (where our headquarters is located), one of our office hubs, or anywhere else in the US. However, depending upon where the remote work is performed, income could be subject to New York State tax withholding.
We expect East Coast work hours.
