## About the role

The world's leading AI labs are racing to build smarter models and the data behind them is the bottleneck. We're looking for a Project Manager to sit at that bottleneck: managing expert teams, shaping dataset specs, and driving high-stakes projects from scoping to delivery for the organizations building the frontier.

- 3+ years of experience at a top-tier management consulting firm (MBB or similar), Big 4 strategy practice, or corporate strategy team
- Background in business strategy, case analysis, market research, or corporate operations
- Strong grasp of structured problem-solving, business frameworks, and financial/quantitative analysis
- High agency and strong work ethic, comfort defining problems and thriving with minimal direction in ambiguous situations
- Demonstrated leadership excellence and strong client-facing communication abilities
- Genuine passion for AI and an entrepreneurial inclination
