Description:
Strategic Projects Lead
About the Role:
We need an SPL who obsesses over operational excellence, thrives in ambiguity, and can own multi-million dollar contracts with labs and enterprises from day one.
What You'll Do:
Project Ownership & Execution:
- Own end-to-end delivery of customer projects by managing budget, schedule, and scope
- Track project milestones and deliverables, ensuring quality standards are met
- Identify bottlenecks early and resolve problems before they become blockers
- Communicate directly with customers to understand needs, set priorities, and manage expectations
Operations & Scale:
- Build and scale data pipelines and operational processes that drive real revenue
- Manage large teams of global experts (annotators, engineers, domain specialists)
- Coordinate work across distributed teams to hit aggressive deadlines
- Design systems and workflows from scratch when playbooks don't exist
Strategy & Decision-Making:
- Make high-impact decisions daily on resource allocation, scope, and trade-offs
- Use data analysis (SQL/Python) to track performance and optimize operations
- Organize, plan, and prioritize work across multiple concurrent projects
- Wear multiple hats: ops, strategy, product, and execution
What We're Looking For:
- Technical foundation: CS/Engineering degree, comfortable with SQL/Python for data analysis
- Project management chops: 1+ years managing complex projects, teams, or operations (PM experience is a major plus)
- Scrappy mindset: You figure things out without a playbook and build solutions from first principles
- Communication skills: You can coordinate teams, brief stakeholders, and resolve conflicts effectively
