About Vable
Vable
is the global leader in content intelligence and news aggregation for law firms. We transform vast amounts of business and legal information into structured intelligence that powers critical decisions at the world's leading law firms. We're now at an exciting point in our journey - deploying AI-driven classification to replace manual processes, expanding beyond legal into new markets, and reimagining how professionals discover and use business-critical information.
The Opportunity
As our
Content Intelligence Lead
, you'll take ownership of the AI-driven pipeline that processes thousands of articles daily, turning raw content into structured intelligence. You'll ensure our classification and entity extraction delivers accurate, reliable results that power critical business decisions. You'll be the guardian of quality, optimizing performance while controlling costs.
We're looking for someone exceptional to fill this role - but working at Vable is pretty exceptional too. You'll have real ownership, work with cutting-edge technology, and directly impact how thousands of legal professionals access information.
What You'll Own
The Content Intelligence Pipeline

* Manage quality metrics (precision, recall, F1 scores) and drive continuous improvement
* Control and optimise AI processing costs - balancing quality with efficiency
* Ensure publisher agreement compliance for AI processing
Client Intelligence & Taxonomy Evolution
* Analyse search patterns and platform usage to understand client information needs
* Expand and refine taxonomies based on real usage data and feedback
* Identify content gaps and opportunities for new information products
* Translate insights into actionable improvements for classification accuracy
What You'll Bring
Essential Experience
* 3+ years experience working with taxonomies, classification systems, or structured data analysis
* Strong analytical skills - you can spot patterns in large datasets and identify root causes
* A production mindset - you understand the importance of reliability and uptime
* Excellent process improvement track record - you've made things better, not just maintained them
* Technical competence - advanced Excel skills with data visualisation experience, proficiency in taxonomy management tools, classification metrics (precision, recall, F1) and comfortable learning new tools
Core Competencies
* Ownership mentality - you take pride in systems running smoothly
* Detail-oriented - you catch issues others miss
* Learning agility - excited to understand AI/ML applications (we'll teach you)
* Clear communication - can explain technical issues to any audience

* Quality metrics knowledge (precision/recall)
* Experience with AI-driven classification systems
We Don't Require
* AI/ML expertise (you'll learn on the job)
* Deep legal knowledge (we provide domain training)
* Management experience (this is an individual contributor role, but it's important you are a team player)
Why This Role Matters

you
in this role, we'll transform how legal professionals access information, making complex searches simple and intuitive.
