Strategic Projects Lead - Coding

About the role

You'll work directly with the world's leading AI organizations to build next-generation data solutions, managing expert teams across domains like finance, software engineering, and law to produce high-quality outputs at scale. You'll shape dataset specifications that directly influence how frontier models are evaluated and improved, owning critical projects end-to-end from scoping through delivery in a fast-moving, high-stakes environment. Along the way, you'll gain top-tier operational experience, working across multiple parts of the business — building, analyzing, coordinating, and executing wherever it's needed most.
