Legal Quality Assurance Lead (QAL)

About the role

In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as a Legal Quality Assurance Lead (QAL) to oversee quality, consistency, and trainer performance across legal AI training projects. You will review AI-generated legal content and trainer/QA work, evaluate output quality against project guidelines, provide precise written feedback, and ensure that all contributors follow the expected quality standards. You will assess work for legal reasoning quality, issue spotting, jurisdictional awareness, citation and source handling, clarity, risk awareness, formatting, instruction-following, and adherence to project-specific rubrics. You will spot recurring quality issues, communicate updates to trainers and QAs, support onboarding, maintain documentation, and help activate contributors who are not working consistently. This role requires strong legal expertise, strong English communication skills, excellent attention to detail, structured communication, and the ability to manage quality workflows across remote legal-review teams. This role is with SME Careers, a fast-growing AI Data Services company and subsidiary of SuperAnnotate, delivering training data for many of the world’s largest AI companies and foundation-model labs. Your legal quality leadership will directly help improve the world’s premier AI models by ensuring that legal training data is accurate, well-reasoned, clearly explained, appropriately cautious, well-documented, and aligned with client expectations. Selection process involves an AI interview, a domain-specific task, and an interview with a recruiter. Important There is no immediate project for this role; however, if qualified, you will be among the first experts we reach out to when relevant opportunities arise. This will also provide you with access to future projects available through our expert network.
