We are seeking a Strategic Project Lead (SPL) to manage and deliver human data programs within a fast-growing new business unit within GLG. You will play a key role in providing elite domain expertise to frontier AI labs and enterprises. You will own end-to-end delivery, from scoping projects alongside AI researchers through coordinating experts and overseeing dataset curation and quality control. In this role, you will also contribute to the continuous improvement of delivery operations of a rapidly scaling business.
Human data at GLG is unique. As the world’s leading platform for trusted human expertise, we bring nearly 30 years of experience connecting clients with hard-to-access domain experts to solve their most complex challenges. SPLs benefit from the resources and recognition of GLG’s longstanding brand and market leadership while operating in a fast-paced, start-up-like environment within the human data business unit.
Key Responsibilities
- Scope client requests into structured projects. Work with AI researchers, human data operators, and other key client stakeholders to translate open-ended aims into clear objectives and projects (e.g., task types, data format, volume, timeline, quality criteria).
- Own end-to-end delivery. Manage daily operations, monitor task execution, oversee expert training and onboarding, provide ongoing logistics support, and ensure data quality.
- Serve as the client's primary point of contact. From scoping to delivery, you will own the client relationship, regularly report on progress, and adjust project scope and trajectory based on client input.
- Shape the business unit’s delivery model. You will play a lead role in refining GLG’s human data operating playbooks, templates, and methodologies, and drive impact on the business beyond your own projects.

Required:
- 2-3 years in management consulting (MBB or comparable), investment banking, private equity, or a similarly rigorous structured-problem-solving environment, OR founder/operator experience building something from an ambiguous starting point, OR 1-2 years in a Strategic Project Lead role managing human data projects
- Demonstrated ability to structure a vague, open-ended problem into a clear plan of action, independently
- Experience owning workstreams and/or projects end-to-end, and coordinating multiple stakeholder groups toward shared deliverables under tight timelines
- Strong attention to detail, impeccable quality standards, and driven by results
- Superior written and verbal communication skills
- Thrives in ambiguous, fast-paced environments
Strongly preferred:
- Current or recent experience as a Strategic Project Lead, Project Lead, or similar client-delivery role at an AI training/human-data company
- Exposure to AI/ML concepts sufficient to be conversant in evaluation, preference data, fine-tuning, and rubric design
