Data-Driven Project Coordinator

Technical Project Manager

At our organization, we're on a mission to empower top talent worldwide to participate in the development of cutting-edge AI models. In the coming years, AI models will revolutionize how we work and create thousands of new AI training jobs for skilled professionals around the globe. We've joined forces with top AI and crowd researchers at renowned institutions to build a fair and ethical platform for AI developers to collaborate with domain experts and train bespoke AI models.

Much like our traditional Project Manager role, we're seeking exceptional communicators with experience in data operations, data science, or AI research who are interested in leading our key AI projects. As a Technical Project Manager, you'll combine your project management skills with a solid understanding of database systems, backend processes, and software development. In addition to overseeing and coordinating project execution, collaborating with clients, project stakeholders, and workers to continuously improve product offerings and processes, you will also own much of the data handling and modeling associated with our data delivery projects. This is a long-term, fully remote role.
