Position Overview
Turing is seeking an accomplished Delivery Manager – Data Science to lead large-scale LLM training and Agentic AI programs, driving the successful delivery of mission-critical datasets, fine-tuning workflows, and model alignment initiatives.
In this role, you will oversee multiple cross-functional teams of data scientists, ML engineers, and data professionals engaged in Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT), Reinforcement Learning from Human Feedback (RLHF), and Agentic AI system development. You’ll ensure the delivery of world-class training data, reproducible pipelines, and scalable experimentation frameworks that directly support frontier AI research and enterprise-grade AI deployments.
This is a high-impact leadership role at the intersection of technical depth, delivery excellence, and strategic alignment — ideal for someone who combines expertise in LLMs with operational mastery of large-scale AI execution.
Primary Responsibilities
1. Team and Delivery Leadership
- Lead large, distributed teams of data scientists, ML engineers, and Python developers delivering high-quality AI datasets and models.
- Scale and operationalize data science workflows for SFT, RLHF, and RLAIF pipelines.
- Define and manage project goals, timelines, and quality benchmarks for multiple concurrent programs.
- Drive team performance, engagement, and innovation, fostering a culture of technical excellence and accountability.
2. Program and Stakeholder Management
- Oversee end-to-end delivery of complex AI/ML initiatives, ensuring client goals are achieved on schedule and within scope.
- Partner with internal research and product leaders to translate technical requirements into actionable execution plans.
- Manage dependencies across annotation, model training, and evaluation streams, mitigating risks proactively.
- Deliver clear and consistent program reporting, highlighting key metrics, challenges, and insights.
3. Technical Oversight and Data Quality
- Ensure rigorous standards for data, model, and process quality throughout the lifecycle.
- Oversee data collection and benchmarking for LLM alignment and evaluation.
- Leverage analytics to identify model performance gaps, biases, and optimization opportunities.
- Champion reproducible experimentation, responsible AI practices, and scalable infrastructure design.
4. Research Collaboration and Innovation
- Collaborate closely with AI researchers and infrastructure teams to refine model training methodologies.
- Drive continuous improvement in data quality pipelines, annotation frameworks, and feedback loops.
- Support the development of Agentic AI systems, enabling autonomous agents that learn from human and tool-based feedback.
- Document and disseminate best practices to accelerate team learning and institutional knowledge.
Required Skills & Qualifications
- 10+ years of experience in data science, AI/ML, or related engineering leadership roles.
- Proven success managing large-scale AI delivery programs (100+ members) across multiple workstreams.
- Deep expertise in LLM training methodologies (SFT, RLHF, RLAIF) and Agentic AI systems.
- Strong proficiency in Python and modern ML frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face, LangChain, and LlamaIndex.
- Advanced understanding of data pipelines, annotation processes, and quality metrics.
- Excellent client-facing communication, stakeholder management, and cross-functional collaboration.
- Demonstrated ability to balance technical depth with operational leadership and business impact.
Preferred Skills & Qualifications
- Advanced degree (Master’s or PhD) in Computer Science, Data Science, or AI-related field.
- Experience delivering LLM and Agentic AI projects in production or research settings.
- Knowledge of Responsible AI, fairness, and model interpretability practices.
- Familiarity with project gamification, motivation frameworks, or workforce optimization at scale.
- Experience working in fast-paced AI research or product organizations.
Why Join
- Work at the intersection of cutting-edge AI research and scalable data delivery.
- Lead flagship LLM and Agentic AI programs that define the next generation of intelligence systems.
- Mentor high-performing global teams and influence both technical and strategic direction.
- Be part of a mission-driven culture shaping the future of AI delivery excellence.
