Position Overview:

As a Delivery Manager, you will lead the end-to-end execution of LLM training projects involving Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT), Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), and Reinforcement Learning from Execution Feedback (RLEF). You will manage a cross-functional team of AI Trainers, Leads and Engineering Managers to ensure delivery of high-quality data and model improvements.

You will operate as the senior-most project owner, accountable for strategic client alignment, throughput, quality, and operational efficiency across multiple streams and programming languages (Python, JavaScript, Java, etc.).

This role requires hands-on delivery leadership, team scaling, stakeholder management, and a clear understanding of both technical and operational dimensions of LLM development.

 

Key Responsibilities:

1. Project Leadership & Cross-Functional Management

• Own full project lifecycle from kickoff and scoping to delivery and stabilization.
• Manage multiple concurrent LLM training streams (Evals, SFT, RLHF, RLEF, etc.,) across languages and domains.
• Lead and coordinate distributed remote teams including AI trainers, team leads and engineering managers.
• Maintain strong alignment with Engineering Managers, ensuring delivery of technically sound and review-compliant datasets.
• Monitor throughput, quality, rework, review coverage and staffing requirements.
  
  

2. Client Engagement & Operational Oversight

• Act as the strategic point of contact for clients - gathering requirements, aligning on expectations, and managing feedback loops.
• Build and maintain detailed project trackers, dashboards, and delivery health reports.
• Proactively flag risks and drive resolution to ensure uninterrupted, high-quality delivery.
• Set up scalable processes, SOPs, and review systems to mature project operations.
  
  

3. Quality Governance & Continuous Improvement

• Own delivery-level quality KPIs across all roles from trainers to engineers.
• Ensure clarity, accuracy, and completeness in outputs: code, responses, explanations, and evaluations.
• Work closely with team leads to implement quality review loops and resolve systemic quality gaps.
• Identify inefficiencies and continuously optimize workflows and operational structure.
• Ensure all output meets the highest standards expected by AI researchers and clients.

 

Required Qualifications:

• 4–8 years of experience in a Delivery Manager, Program Manager, or similar role within a technical or data-driven environment.
• Proven track record in managing end-to-end project lifecycles, scaling teams, and optimizing delivery pipelines.
• Strong experience in client-facing roles involving requirements gathering, delivery tracking, and stakeholder alignment.
• Experience managing diverse and distributed teams.
• Skilled in driving team performance, managing escalation workflows, and balancing speed, quality and cost.
• Working knowledge of Python and/or JavaScript to effec
