Work at Sovrano AI in Barcelona

Physical AI needs its own data layer: the data, the benchmarks and the evidence that connect real-world skill to the models that run robots. Sovrano is building it. This role leads the research that tells Sovrano, and the field, what actually makes robots better, and then makes sure it gets built. Sovrano AI is a data and research lab in Barcelona. Sovrano brings real experts into building AI: they do the work, Sovrano captures their judgment, and turns it into the data, benchmarks and evidence that frontier AI labs, robotics companies and enterprise AI teams use to train and evaluate their models. Behind it sit a network of 400,000 or more professionals, 100 or more partner universities across Europe, EFMD certification, 23 languages and EuroExec, Sovrano's own benchmark. Language models got good because the internet already existed. Physical AI has no internet: every robot that learns useful work will learn it from data someone deliberately built, tested and proved. What data a policy needs, how to judge its quality and how to test a policy against real work are still open across the field. Europe has the experts and the research talent to answer them, and this is a founding seat on the research team that intends to. The week is about 80 percent research: training, evaluating, publishing. The other 20 percent is communication and coordination, with clients, with marketing and with the data team. You report to Pau Arnal, Founding Researcher, who leads the research team and sets its agenda, and you work directly with him and with the CEO. Said plainly: scope moves as results and clients come in. Some weeks you train models all week, some weeks you are on a call explaining why a data spec should change. Much of the research infrastructure you need is yours to build. The trade is ownership most researchers wait a decade for: a research agenda that is genuinely yours to shape, and results that change what the company does the following week.

The next generation of models will be shaped by knowledge that cannot be scraped: the judgment of the lawyers, doctors, engineers and tax advisors who do the work. Sovrano turns that judgment into post-training data, rubrics and benchmarks. This role answers, with evidence, whether that data makes models better, and then tells the team what to do about it.

The internet has been read. The gains now come from post-training and evaluation on expert work, and whoever defines what good work looks like is shaping the frontier. Europe has the experts, the universities and the research talent to build that layer, and too many of its best machine learning researchers leave to do frontier work elsewhere.

The best AI models in the world are only as good as the experts who teach and test them. Somebody has to find those experts, and every new project starts with the same question: can we get the right ones in front of it, fast? This role is the marketer who answers yes. Sovrano supplies verified European expertise to frontier AI labs, robotics companies and enterprise AI teams. Doctors, lawyers, engineers, linguists and researchers put their judgement to work on the data that trains and evaluates frontier models. Sovrano draws on a network of 400,000+ professionals, 100+ partner universities across Europe with EFMD certification, 23 European languages, its own EuroExec benchmark, and a funding round led by b2venture. Two audiences decide whether that works: clients on one side, experts on the other. Marketing covers both, and this role owns the expert side. Think of it as a forward deployed marketer. You report to the Head of Marketing, who guides the work: which channels to use, how Sovrano is presented to experts, and where your time goes. Day to day you work closely with the lead of Talent Operations & Community to understand the staffing needs of each project, then turn them into campaigns. A new project is announced on Monday. By the end of the week you have worked out where its experts are, built the campaign, put it live and can tell us what is working. Strategy on Monday, Figma on Tuesday, a paid test on Wednesday, an event on Thursday. Every campaign maps to real people joining real projects, so you know within days whether an idea worked. That breadth is the point, and it is also the hard part. The supply side tells you what each project needs, Marketing sets the direction and the standard, and most weeks you will be the one weighing which piece of work moves the numbers first.
