Project Delivery & Customer Success

• Own the execution of customer projects from kickoff through final delivery.

• Coordinate internal teams and external stakeholders to keep projects on track and ensure high-quality, consistent data delivery.

• Monitor project progress, identify risks, and proactively resolve technical or operational issues.

• Serve as a primary point of contact for customers, providing clear communication, project updates, and timely resolution of issues.

• Build strong, long-term customer relationships through reliable execution and technical expertise.

Cross-Functional Collaboration

• Work closely with Product, Engineering, and Operations to identify challenges and improve internal tools, workflows, and processes.

• Capture customer feedback, market trends, and recurring industry pain points to inform product development and roadmap decisions.

• Help translate end results from customer projects into scalable solutions and repeatable processes.

Commercial & Business Development Support

• Support the commercial team in developing technical proposals, Statements of Work (SOWs), project scopes, and pricing materials.

• Identify opportunities for additional services, expanded scope, and follow-on projects within existing accounts.

• Partner with sales and account teams to communicate the technical value and feasibility of proposed solutions.

• Contribute to growing customer relationships and expanding revenue opportunities.

Required Qualifications

• 3–5+ years of experience in solutions engineering, technical sales, project management, product, or a related customer-facing technical role.

• Experience in AI, robotics, autonomous driving, data services, or a related technology industry.

• Strong understanding of the end-to-end AI data lifecycle, including data collection, annotation, quality assurance, delivery, model training, evaluation, and iteration.

• Ability to translate ambiguous customer requirements into structured, actionable technical and project plans.

• Demonstrated ability to manage complex projects involving multiple stakeholders and competing priorities.

• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with the ability to engage effectively with both technical teams and business stakeholders.

• Fluent English communication skills, including the ability to lead customer meetings, technical discussions, and business conversations in English.
