Strategic Data Delivery Lead Frontier AI Labs

The Role

You will be the operational engine behind Turing’s most strategic data delivery projects for frontier AI labs. Every major lab — OpenAI, Google Deep Mind, Meta AI, Anthropic, and others — depends on high-quality human expert data to train, post-train, and evaluate their models. Your job is to take those projects from customer kickoff to flawless delivery, managing hundreds to thousands of contributors and building the client relationships that turn a single project into a long-term partnership.

This is a high-ownership role. You will shape the playbook, the quality frameworks, the escalation paths, and the contributor management infrastructure that define how Turing delivers at scale.

• 1) Operational execution — own end-to-end delivery on every project you run
  • Design and manage data pipelines from customer specification to final delivery, with full accountability for scope, timeline, and quality.
  • Diagnose bottlenecks in real time — re-sequence workflows, refine instructions, create incentive systems, and scale review processes to hit throughput targets.
  • Run daily war room syncs to stay ahead of issues before they reach the customer.
• 2) Customer relationships — be the face of Turing to the world’s leading AI labs
  • Act as the primary point of contact for researchers and program managers at frontier AI labs.
  • Deliver clear, consistent reporting and proactively anticipate client needs before they ask.
  • Build the kind of long-term trust that converts a one-off project into a multi-year partnership — and identify expansion opportunities along the way.
• 3) Large-scale coordination — orchestrate the work of 100–1,000+ contributors
  • Source, vet, onboard, train, and performance-manage domain experts across distributed work spaces.
  • Maintain high execution standards at every stage of production, from annotation through review through delivery.
  • Design motivation and performance systems — including gamification — that keep large contributor pools engaged and output high.
• 4) Quality ownership — ensure world-class data integrity on every project
  • Own quality control across the annotation lifecycle: set the bar, measure against it, and close the gap when it slips.
  • Analyze datasets to identify trends, anomalies, and systematic errors — then fix the root cause, not just the symptom.
  • Implement and continuously improve annotation, evaluation, and curation best practices.
• 5) Process innovation — make the operation faster, better, and cheaper each cycle
  • Stay ahead of emerging practices in AI data operations and apply them before customers ask.
  • Champion workflow changes that reduce task completion times and improve cost efficiency.
  • Maintain clear, scalable documentation so that improvements survive beyond any single project.
• 6) Playbook building — codify what works so future SPLs scale faster than you did
  • Document onboarding scripts, quality benchmarks, contributor management frameworks, and escalation patterns.
  • Own your domain’s section of the SPL knowledge base.
  • Actively mentor the next hire — your playbook is your legacy.

• Background in consulting, finance, startups, or other operationally intense environments, with a proven track record of managing complex, multi-stakeholder projects.
• Strong analytical and communication abilities: you can spot a bottleneck in a noisy production environment, build a measurement plan, and communicate the fix to a demanding client in plain language.
• Customer-facing experience: comfortable working directly with high-profile clients, managing expectations, and building long-term relationships.
• Excited by gritty process optimization and large-scale execution — you thrive on making complex operations faster, cleaner, and more reliable.
