Founding Delivery Lead - AI Training Data (Healthcare and Life Science)
About Grayde
Grayde.ai is a life science AI data company. We provide annotation, model evaluation, and fine-tuning datasets for AI models being built in pharma, biotech, and medical devices – delivered by credentialed domain experts under ISO-certified quality systems.
We're early stage. This is a founding operations hire.
The role
This is a 0 → 1 role.
You own everything between the signed contract and the delivered dataset.
That means building and running the specialist network (freelance annotators who work on the projects): sourcing, credentialing, onboarding, performance tracking, fraud controls, and retention. It means designing the quality systems: calibration tasks before any specialist works on a live project, creating training materials and checklists, multi-layer QA pipelines, inter-rater reliability checks, and specialist rating and rewards.
It means running delivery: project planning, risk tracking, client communication, and invoicing. And it means owning project P&L – estimating correctly, allocating resources, and protecting margin.
You'll build a team from scratch – owning training, assignment and performance management.
What you'll own
Specialist network: Sourcing, vetting, and credentialing domain experts from around the world to work on the project. Onboarding and training before any live project. Retention and referrals.
Quality systems: Calibration tasks, multi-layer QA pipelines, inter-rater reliability measurement, and client feedback that closes back into contributor training.
Project delivery: Planning, timelines, risk tracking, batch delivery, and client communication from contract to invoice. You're the client's point of contact once the contract is signed.
P&L and operations: Project estimation, resource allocation, and margin tracking. SOPs, tooling, process compliance, and building the delivery team as the business scales.
What we're looking for
- 6+ years running delivery or operations at an AI data, annotation, or managed services company in the healthcare/life sciences industry
- A degree in a field related to medicine or life sciences mandatory
- Someone with excellent communication skills and high agency who is self-driven
- Experience with stakeholder management and coordinating between different teams
- Someone who has used AI tools actively to build processes and solve operational problems
- Team management experience
Pay: ₹2,000,000.00 - ₹2,500,000.00 per year
Work Location: In person
