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 managing vendor relationships, including SLA communication.
• People management experience, or readiness to take on direct reports.
