Program Manager for AI Data Operations, scaling GenAI-ready pipelines with vendor networks and automation.
What I'm looking for
I’m a Program Manager in AI Data Operations with 8+ years building and scaling AI/ML data pipelines, subscription programs, and vendor networks to accelerate model readiness. I lead end-to-end data collection and labeling operations that translate program execution into measurable quality and speed improvements.
In my current role, I’ve led a multi-modal initiative processing 400,000+ assets across 23 languages and delivered 100,000+ labeled assets for GenAI (Q1–Q4 2024). I manage 20 direct reports and 25–30 contributors, coordinate five vendors across 20+ regions, and own subscription workflows, tracking dashboards, and KPI reporting to ensure SLA compliance and renewal cycles.
I combine Python + AWS + Box automation with structured QC frameworks to improve dataset quality from 65% to 98% and reduce per-batch processing from 5–6 hours to under 20 minutes. Using Lean Six Sigma (DMAIC), I streamline bottlenecks and scale throughput from ~4,000 to ~30,000 assets/month—so data readiness stays aligned with model release schedules.
