• Partner with Sales, Operations, Product and Engineering to coordinate resources and solve delivery challenges.
• Stay close to execution, spotting risks early and working through problems directly to keep delivery on track.
• Own and track key delivery metrics, including quality, timelines, budgets and profitability, and use project data to improve outcomes.
• Improve how we deliver AI projects by developing scalable processes, tools and ways of working as our client base grows.

Qualifications

• 3-6+ years of experience managing complex client projects or programmes, ideally in AI/ML, human data, data services or another technical environment.
• A solid understanding of AI technologies and the AI/ML development lifecycle, including data collection, annotation, evaluation or validation.
• Strong client-facing skills, with experience building trusted relationships and communicating with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
• Experience turning complex or ambiguous requirements into clear, executable plans and successful outcomes.
• A hands-on approach to problem-solving, with the ability to get into the detail, identify what’s going wrong and drive solutions forward.
• Strong analytical and commercial judgement, with experience managing KPIs, budgets, profitability, quality and delivery performance.
• Proven ability to lead across teams, align stakeholders and operate in a fast-moving environment where priorities change.

Benefits

• Competitive salary, benefits, and remote working within an impactful, mission-driven culture.
• Compensation packages for eligible roles include base salary, equity, and benefits.
• Opportunity to earn a cash variable element, such as a bonus or commission.
• Salary range for this full-time role in San Francisco or New York is $140,000-$170,000 per annum and negotiable for other states.
