Full Job Description
Your Impact at LILA Lila is building toward scientific superintelligence, which depends on a steady supply of high-quality, purpose-built AI data. We're looking for a Senior or Principal Technical Program Manager to join our AI Research team to drive multiple AI data generation and curation workstreams — standing up new project teams, keeping them on schedule, and incorporating that data into the model training pipeline. You don't need to be an ML researcher, but you must be genuinely curious about how AI data fuels model development and able to clearly articulate what your programs will deliver. The successful candidate thrives in ambiguity, communicates exceptionally well across audiences, and knows how to build clarity and momentum on a fast-paced, rapidly scaling team. What You'll Be Building Launch and operate cross-functional project teams that produce AI data for scientific superintelligence, ensuring each team executes with at high velocity and delivers standardized outputs the model training team can directly consume. Serve as the key communication interface between project teams and the research, science, and model training organizations; set up the organizational information flows that allow this communication to happen with speed at scale. Drive accountability across distributed, cross-functional teams without relying on direct authority; build consensus through clear communication and sound judgment. Define and enforce data delivery standards, QA gates, and handoff protocols so model training receives consistent, high-quality inputs across all active project teams. Implement best practices for rapid experimentation and iteration, enabling new project teams to ramp efficiently as additional data initiatives come online. Develop clear documentation and reporting to communicate vision, track progress, and align project team work with broader AI Research priorities; represent program status and risks accurately even when the picture is uncertain or evolving
