Proven track record of building quality standards from scratch (rubrics, SOPs, QC workflows).
Experience managing annotation or review teams, including remote/offshore or vendor/BPO teams, and driving performance against SLAs.
Experience delivering direct, frequent quality feedback to operators or annotators.
Data fluency, with the ability to build and own reporting and analyze data (SQL, BI tools, or AI-assisted).
Meticulous judgment on edge cases combined with pragmatism to ship initial versions.
