About the role
- You'll work directly with researchers, data teams, and other key stakeholders at some of the most advanced AI organizations in the world.
- You'll be trusted to represent SuperAnnotate at the highest level, including on technical tradeoffs, and to grow those relationships through execution and management excellence.
Responsibilities
- Own project delivery end-to-end: Lead LLM and Gen AI data engagements from initial scoping through final delivery - including use case definition, resource planning, quality oversight, and client sign-off. The project succeeds or fails on your watch.
- Be the client's main point of contact: Build and maintain trusted relationships with key stakeholders. Bring transparency, good judgment, and a solutions orientation to every interaction.
- Drive operational discipline across workstreams: Manage timelines, staffing plans, and delivery quality across multiple concurrent projects. Catch problems before they become crises and fix them before they reach the client.
- Design and build the systems that make delivery possible: Architect data pipelines, quality frameworks, and review infrastructure that let your team execute at scale.
- Lead and develop your team: Recruit, mentor, and performance-manage the operations and subject matter experts. Set the bar, support the people, and build toward a team that can scale.
- Identify scope expansion opportunities: Partner with Go-to-Market to turn strong delivery into expanded engagements. Understand your clients' broader AI data challenges well enough to propose what's next.
- Financial and resource fluency: You understand project margins, can build resource plans, and think about the business impact of operational decisions.
Requirements
- That means hands-on comfort with data, code, and pipelines, and the ability to engage credibly with client engineering and research teams on LLM data challenges and evaluation approaches.
- 4+ years of experience running complex technical projects or operations in client-facing roles, with at least some of that time in a high-growth startup environment.
- A track record of owning outcomes: You've managed cross-functional workstreams with real accountability - and you can point to what you delivered and how.
Nice to have
- Background in management consulting, investment banking, or data-intensive technical services.
- MBA or equivalent advanced degree.
- Why SuperAnnotate This role sits at the center of what SuperAnnotate does and what the AI industry needs most right now.
