Learn more at www.turing.com The Role You will be the operational engine behind Turing’s most strategic data delivery projects for frontier AI labs. Every major lab — OpenAI, Google DeepMind, Meta AI, Anthropic, and others — depends on high-quality human expert data to train, post-train, and evaluate their models. Your job is to take those projects from customer kickoff to flawless delivery, managing hundreds to thousands of contributors and building the client relationships that turn a single project into a long-term partnership. This is a high-ownership role. You will shape the playbook, the quality frameworks, the escalation paths, and the contributor management infrastructure that define how Turing delivers at scale. What You’ll Do 1) Operational execution — own end-to-end delivery on every project you run Design and manage data pipelines from customer specification to final delivery, with full accountability for scope, timeline, and quality. Diagnose bottlenecks in real time — re-sequence workflows, refine instructions, create incentive systems, and scale review processes to hit throughput targets. Run daily “war room” syncs to stay ahead of issues before they reach the customer. 2)
