• Ensure accuracy, consistency, and quality standards are maintained across all project work
• Monitor team performance and identify recurring quality issues, trends, or areas requiring additional guidance
• Conduct regular audits of labeling and reviewing work and provide actionable feedback
• Manage project-related communications and questions through Discord
• Host Office Hours to answer questions, clarify guidelines, and provide ongoing support to the labeling and reviewing teams
• Help identify ambiguities or gaps in project guidelines and elevate issues when necessary
• Participate in team meetings, calibration sessions, and project discussions
• Support alignment between labelers and reviewers to ensure consistent application of project guidelines
• Communicate important project updates, changes, and quality expectations to the assigned language team
• Collaborate with Project Operators and Project Managers to address quality, workflow, and performance concerns

Who You Are

• Strong understanding of Polish grammar, vocabulary, regional or dialectal variation, pronunciation, and natural spoken usage
• Experience with audio transcription, data labeling, linguistic annotation, quality assurance, or AI/ML data projects preferred
• Strong attention to detail and ability to identify subtle linguistic, transcription, or labeling errors
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills in Polish
• Experience providing feedback, coaching, or leading teams is preferred
• Comfortable working independently and managing multiple project priorities
• Familiarity with Discord or similar online collaboration platforms

Nice to Have

• Background in linguistics, translation, localization, or language education
• Experience with AI training data pipelines or annotation platforms
• Familiarity with regional Polish speech patterns and dialectal variation
• Prior quality assurance or team leadership experience in a remote or distributed setting
