- Define KPIs, measure performance (telemetry, task times, etc.) and close the feedback loop to turn good pilots into great ones
- Work with our Southeast Asia team to implement organizational structure improvements
- Partner with the engineering team to turn performance findings into hardware and software changes
What You’ll Bring
- 4+ years of experience in working with off-shore resources (CSR, moderation, data annotation etc.) at a consulting firm or technology company
