• Optimize Data Quality: Implement rigorous quality frameworks—including Inter-Rater Reliability (IRR) and "Gold Standard" audits—to eliminate labeling bias.

• Scale the Pipeline: Partner with AI/ML Engineering and Policy to transform abstract guidelines into executable labeling handbooks and efficient workflows.

• Drive Vendor Performance: Own the operational roadmap, unit costs, and capacity planning for specialized labeling workforces globally.

• Ensure Resilience: Maintain business continuity and site redundancy plans to protect our data labeling pipelines from disruption.

You Have:

• Expertise in Data Labeling: 6+ years in Ops/Trust & Safety, with a proven track record managing large-scale vendor teams focused on data annotation or RLHF.

• Analytical Engine: Experience using data (SQL, Looker, or similar) to identify quality drift and operational bottlenecks.

• Cross-Functional Fluency: The ability to move seamlessly between technical ML requirements and nuanced Policy discussions.

• Operational Grit: A high tolerance for the complexity and emotional intensity of managing teams exposed to sensitive or high-risk content.
