On-siteInformation Technology$120k–$200k/yrInternship
Core Responsibilities
- Design and manage end-to-end data pipelines, from customer specifications to final delivery.
- Diagnose bottlenecks, restructure workflows, and implement solutions that improve quality, throughput, and cost-efficiency.
- Examples include: creating incentive systems, re-sequencing workflows, refining instructions, and scaling review processes.
Customer Relationships
- Act as the primary point of contact for the AI, data, and technical teams at leading enterprises.
- Deliver clear, consistent reporting and proactively anticipate client needs.
- Build long-term trust and identify opportunities for expansion.
Large-Scale Coordination
- Manage 1,000+ distributed contributors in Slack-based workspaces.
- Source, vet, train, and performance-manage domain experts.
- Maintain high execution standards across all stages of production.
Quality Reporting
- Run daily internal syncs (“war rooms”) to stay ahead of issues.
- Provide regular, transparent progress updates to customers.
What We’re Looking For
- Experience: Background in consulting, finance, startups, or other operationally intense environments.
- Skills: Strong analytical and communication abilities; proven track record of managing complex projects.
- Customer-Facing Experience: Comfortable working directly with high-profile clients.
- Mindset: Excited by “gritty” process optimization and large-scale execution.
Key Facts
- SPLs generate $10M+ in project revenue annually.
- Customer requests are high-pressure and time-sensitive (e.g., onboarding 1,000 contributors in 3 days, delivering 10+ hours of quality data per contributor within 48 hours).
- The role is explicitly operations-focused—not strategy, product, or GTM.
- Growth Path: SPLs begin as individual contributors, running projects end-to-end. High performers may advance to Senior SPL (SSPL) roles, managing multiple projects and teams of SPLs.
