About the role

Responsibilities

  • Oversee data annotation projects, translating complex AI and machine learning requirements into clear workflows and instructions for data annotation teams
  • Ensure the highest standards of data quality by designing and refining annotation processes, auditing results, and implementing feedback loops
  • Act as a trusted advisor to clients, helping them design and implement the best data annotation workflow for their human annotation process
  • Provide guidance and feedback to the annotation team, ensuring team members are equipped with the context and skills needed to perform high-quality work aligned with project requirements and best practices
  • Work closely with product and engineering teams to drive improvements in AI training data processes, tools, and methodologies

Requirements

  • 3–7 years of professional experience, with a strong preference for backgrounds in top-tier strategy consulting and/or operations or data roles at leading AI or technology companies
  • Proven ability to own complex, multi-stakeholder workflows end-to-end — from scoping and planning through execution, quality assurance, and iteration
  • Working proficiency in Python or SQL, with the ability to query data, automate workflows, or audit annotation outputs; broader familiarity with relational databases or data annotation tooling equally valued
  • Experience designing or optimising data operations processes with a strong eye for quality, consistency, and scalability — ideally in a context involving human-in-the-loop workflows or structured labelling tasks
  • Demonstrated ability to engage effectively with both technical stakeholders (ML engineers, data scientists) and non-technical clients, translating requirements clearly in both directions

Nice-to-haves

  • Hands-on experience with computer vision, generative AI, or multimodal data workflows
  • Prior exposure to data annotation platforms or quality management frameworks
  • Experience coaching or managing operational teams
