As a Project Coordinator, you will own a full project lifecycle within Data Quality — from defining review guidelines to running audit cycles to managing the analysts and vendors who execute the work. You will be the primary point of contact between project-level execution and engineering, translating data quality requirements into guidelines a review team can act on, and feeding audit findings back into how the team works.

• Write and maintain project-level SOPs; update them through post-project retros.
• Manage direct reports where applicable, including structured performance reviews.
• Design project-specific training materials and calibration exercises.
• Serve as the primary contact for project-level vendor coordination, including communicating SLA expectations.
• Translate quality requirements into actionable review guidelines; act as first point of contact for project-level clarifications.

Requirements

• 4+ years of experience in data quality, data labeling operations, or content/data review roles, with demonstrated ownership of a project or workstream end-to-end.
• Experience writing review guidelines, acceptance criteria, or SOPs that other people executed against.
• Experience running audit or QA cycles and translating findings into process or guideline changes.
• Comfort working directly with engineering or ML stakeholders to translate technical requirements into operational guidance.
• Experience managing vendor relationships, including SLA communication.
• People management experience, or readiness to take on direct reports.

Bonus Qualifications

• Experience with golden set / ground truth construction.
• Background in robotics, autonomous systems, LLM or physical AI data.
• Experience designing training or calibration programs for review teams.
