## About the role

This is an extremely high-ownership role at the intersection of strategic operations, audio data, AI data delivery, product, and customer execution . You will own complex audio collection and annotation projects from customer requirement to final delivery. You will translate ambiguous customer needs into executable workflows inside our platform, run pilots, manage contributors and reviewers, track quality and throughput, identify bottlenecks, and ensure the final dataset meets customer expectations.

## What they're looking for

- 3–7+ years of experience in data operations, AI data delivery, annotation operations, localization project management, marketplace operations, program management, or similar roles
- Proven experience owning projects end to end, from ambiguous requirements to final delivery
- Strong operator mindset: you can break down vague goals, create a plan, execute quickly, and unblock yourself
- Experience managing complex workflows involving distributed contributors, reviewers, contractors, vendors, or large-scale data operations
- Strong product sense, able to identify when tooling or platform features are needed and translate operational pain points into clear product requirements
- Strong analytical ability, comfortable with spreadsheets, dashboards, funnel metrics, QA metrics, and operational KPIs
