Job description

About the Role

We are looking for data-driven Project Managers to lead our large-scale multilingual data collection and Large Language Model (LLM) evaluation initiatives. In this role, you will be the operational backbone of our AI development, orchestrating global teams of annotators and data specialists.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment where you can optimize workflows for productivity, quality, and throughput, we want to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

1. Project Management

  • End-to-End Delivery: Manage the full lifecycle of AI data projects, from scoping and guidelines creation to data delivery and post-mortem analysis.

  • Pipeline Management: Oversee large-scale data pipelines for multilingual data collection (audio, text, image) and LLM evaluation (RLHF, SFT, ranking, and safety testing).

  • Resource Planning: Forecast capacity needs and manage the allocation of internal and external workforce (vendors, crowdsourced contributors) across multiple time zones and languages.

2. Quality Assurance & Performance Monitoring

  • KPI Tracking: rigorously monitor and report on key performance indicators, including:

    • Throughput: Volume of data processed per hour/day.

    • Quality: Accuracy scores, Inter-Annotator Agreement (IAA), and gold-set performance.

    • Productivity: Cost-per-task and worker efficiency rates.

  • Quality Control: Implement robust QA loops, root-cause analysis for quality dips, and corrective training for annotator pools.

  • Dashboards: Build and maintain dashboards to visualize project health and flag bottlenecks in real-time.

3. Stakeholder Management

  • Global Coordination: Manage relationships with data experts and crowd pools, ensuring adherence to SLAs regarding localized nuances and linguistic accuracy.

  • Cross-Functional Collaboration: Liaise with Applied AI Technical Ops teams. Translate technical requirements into clear, actionable guidelines for non-technical annotators.

  • Feedback Loops: Facilitate continuous feedback loops where data insights drive updates to annotation guidelines and model fine-tuning strategies.

Qualifications:
