As a Program Manager for Quality Team, you will devise cross-functional quality processes through developing automated, technical solutions and managing an operational team of quality control specialists who evaluate our human data deliverables before they are sent to our customers. The ideal candidate is a scrappy, data-first, and results-driven leader with a track record of excellence.

Responsibilities:
  • Own quality programs for designated accounts or projects in various human data domains.
  • Own outcomes end to end for quality programs on projects: from initial brainstorming and operational execution to final, detailed delivery of audit results and quality insights.

Ideal requirements:
  • 3+ years of experience owning high-impact technical and operational outcomes

  • Strong communication skills across leadership, strategic project leads, cross-functional stakeholders, and our auditor workforce
  • Ability to develop scalable solutions to difficult operational problems - which often require going close to the ground on projects in order to root-cause.
  • Robust project management experience, including the ability to manage a distributed team through ruthless prioritization and a high-urgency mindset.
  • A data-first approach to problem-solving, with demonstrated qualitative and quantitative analytical ability

Bonus:
  • STEM background
  • Experience with LLMs, databases, and scripting
  • Experience developing and growing a 30+ distributed workforce
  • Professional experience at a high-growth startup or fast-paced tech environment


Compensation
  • Base cash comp from $120K-$200k
  • Aggressive bi-annual performance bonus structure
  • Generous equity grant vested over 4 years
  • $15K relocation bonus (for moving to the Bay Area)
  • $10K housing bonus (if you live within 0.5 miles of our office)
