The Role

As a Strategic Projects Lead (SPL), you will own end-to-end execution for complex AI and data projects supporting our customers, including U.S. Government, defense, intelligence, or national security missions. You will translate customer requirements into clear project specifications, design and launch scalable data pipelines, and align Operations and technical domain experts to deliver high-quality solutions in mission-critical environments.

What You'll Do

  • Own projects end to end, from pipeline framing and scoping through execution and delivery.
  • Translate complex customer requirements into clear, actionable technical and operational project specifications.
  • Design and continuously improve data pipelines for usability, accuracy, quality, and scalability.
  • Coordinate Operations and specialized domain experts to support rapid and reliable project deployment.
  • Establish delivery milestones, manage dependencies, and maintain a tight execution cadence.
  • Own client communication, ensuring clear, direct, and consistent engagement with technical and operational stakeholders.
  • Manage domain experts and project leads to ensure quality, operational efficiency, and timely delivery.
  • Provide daily internal updates covering progress, blockers, risks, and explicit next steps.
  • Ensure project workflows align with customer-specific data handling, quality assurance, and documentation requirements.

    • What We're Looking For

  • Exceptional communication, stakeholder management, and project management skills.
  • Strong ownership, urgency, and attention to detail.
  • Startup and entrepreneurial mindset with a strong bias toward execution.
  • Background in data operations, engineering, computer science, or technical project management.
  • 2+ years of experience leading complex technical projects, data pipelines, or operational workflows.
  • Ability to translate ambiguous technical and operational requirements into structured execution plans.
  • Experience coordinating cross-functional teams and managing technical project deliverables.
  • Comfortable working in a fast-paced, high-intensity environment while maintaining rigorous quality and delivery standards.

    • Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience supporting U.S. Government, defense, intelligence, or national security missions, either directly or through government contractors.
  • Experience delivering AI/ML, computer vision, data annotation, or data evaluation projects.
  • Familiarity with multimodal datasets, including imagery, video, sensor data, or other complex data types used in AI training and evaluation.
  • Experience designing or managing data pipelines, AI training workflows, quality assurance processes, and human-in-the-loop operations.
  • Familiarity with government contracting environments, data governance, security protocols, or compliance requirements.
  • Experience managing technical or data-intensive projects in fast-paced startup environments.
  • Technical background in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
