Engage directly with client stakeholders across Product, Engineering, ML, Data Science, and Speech teams.
Translate complex technical requirements into clear internal delivery plans and execution roadmaps.
Ensure alignment between client expectations and operational capabilities across data, engineering, and production teams.
Demonstrate domain fluency across TTS, ASR, transcription workflows, data collection, annotation, and model training support.
Contribute technical insight during solution design discussions, including conversations around model accuracy, constraints, scaling, and evaluation methodologies.
Protect and stabilize existing revenue streams while supporting responsible expansion aligned with the client’s technical roadmap.
Participate in RFP/RFI responses and commercial discussions with awareness of scope, margin, and delivery risk.
Partner closely with delivery, data operations, engineering, and product teams to ensure seamless transition from scoping to execution.
Identify risks early, escalate appropriately, and maintain transparency across stakeholders.
Build long-term trust through responsiveness, clarity, and professionalism in complex enterprise environments.

Requirements

5+ years of experience within speech technology, AI/ML services, data annotation, data collection, or language technologies.

Experience working with large technology platforms or enterprise AI customers.
Technical fluency in deep learning-based TTS and ASR systems, voice technologies, NLP fundamentals, and model training pipelines.
Strong understanding of annotation workflows, dataset management, and model evaluation concepts.
Comfort engaging directly with engineering, ML, and product stakeholders.

Commercial awareness and structured account management discipline within enterprise environments.
