Scale AI is seeking a hands-on Data Collection Program Manager to own and optimize contributor-facing workflows across hardware, rigs, and physical logistics. This role blends program management, operational problem-solving, and process ownership to ensure smooth execution of complex, work stream projects.

You’ll coordinate contributors, manage hardware and rig logistics, and improve SOPs while solving real-world challenges at the intersection of digital and physical workflows.

• Own SOPs and operational processes, continuously iterating to improve efficiency

• Solve hands-on problems spanning both digital and physical workflows

• Track workstreams, identify bottlenecks, and proactively implement solutions

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Engineering, Product, Procurement, Data) to ensure seamless execution

• Build reporting and feedback loops to provide transparency and inform leadership decisions

• 5 days in office

Ideally you'd have:

• 3–5+ years as a strong Operations or Program Manager with exposure to hardware, logistics, or physical workflows

• Experience coordinating multiple work streams simultaneously

• Hands-on problem solver with a bias toward action

• Comfortable working in a contributor-facing, on-site operational environment

• Strong organizational skills with the ability to design scalable processes

• Experience improving processes and SOPs for operational efficiency

Nice to haves:
