AI Data Operations Project Manager

We’re looking for a Project Manager to lead AI data annotation projects for Computer Vision customers.

This is an operations-heavy role. You won’t be managing software development sprints. Instead, you’ll be responsible for delivering large-scale AI datasets on time, at the expected quality, and within budget - and for facilitating communication between customers and delivery teams, translating client needs into execution and keeping both sides aligned.

What you’ll do

• Own multiple customer projects from kickoff to delivery
• Coordinate cross-functional teams (Operations, QA, Solutions, Finance)
• Manage timelines, priorities and project risks
• Work directly with enterprise customers
• Act as the point of contact for client escalations, drive issue resolution and communicate project status
• Monitor quality, productivity and delivery metrics
• Make operational decisions every day to keep projects moving
• Improve internal processes and automate repetitive work whenever possible

What we’re looking for

• Proven experience in AI/ML data annotation or data labeling operations - this is a must, not a nice-to-have
• A track record of managing complex, large-scale projects (exact years of PM experience matter less than real cases and results)
• Advanced (C1) English or higher, confident written and spoken client communication
• Excellent communication skills, with proven experience engaging senior/C-level stakeholders and a strong ability to summarize complex situations clearly and concisely
• Ability to manage multiple projects simultaneously
• Comfortable working in fast-changing, ambiguous environments - juggling shifting priorities without losing structure
• Strong ownership mindset
• Data-driven decision making
• Experience with Jira, Slack, Google Workspace, Excel/Sheets, and similar project management / collaboration tools (e.g. Asana, Notion)
• Ability to learn technical concepts quickly

Nice to have

• Computer Vision projects experience
• People/team management experience (not just projects)
• Experience working with distributed/remote annotation teams
• Background in outsourcing, BPO, or vendor management
• Process automation experience

This role is probably NOT for you if

• You only enjoy software development projects.
• You prefer having detailed specifications before starting work.
• You dislike operational problem solving.
• You don’t enjoy talking to customers.
• You expect every day to be predictable.

You’ll probably enjoy this role if

• You like solving new problems every day.
• You enjoy building processes instead of following them.
• You take ownership instead of waiting for instructions.
• You like working with AI technologies.
• You enjoy making complex operations run smoothly.
