Requirements

What you’ll need

Bachelor’s degree in business, operations, information systems, or a related field.
4+ years of professional experience in data operations, data quality, content processing, or shared-services roles.
2+ years directly leading or managing a team, with a proven ability to coach, develop, and hold people accountable.
Demonstrated experience managing high-volume, detail-oriented workflows to tight quality and SLA standards.
Data Fluency: You can use raw data (advanced Excel, PowerBI, Looker) to track performance, spot bloat, and drive behavioral change in your team.
You anticipate challenges, resolve issues fast, and balance daily tactical delivery with a steady drumbeat of continuous improvement.
You actively mentor and elevate associates, guide them through ambiguous operational change, build actionable growth plans, and cultivate critical thinkers rather than task executors.
You treat accuracy as the baseline, not the goal. You uphold and strengthen QA frameworks—even with legacy tools—so that high-fidelity classification and first-time-right execution are non-negotiable.
(Good to have) Industry Context: Experience in media intelligence, ad-tech, data tagging, taxonomy management, or content moderation is a strong plus.
