About This Role
In this hourly, remote contractor role, you will work as a Mandarin Quality Assurance Lead to oversee quality, consistency, and trainer performance across Traditional Chinese AI training projects for the Taiwan market.

You will assess work for accuracy, fluency, grammar, spelling, punctuation, tone, cultural appropriateness, meaning preservation, instruction-following, formatting, and adherence to project-specific rubrics. You will spot recurring quality issues, communicate updates to trainers and QAs, support onboarding, maintain documentation, and help activate contributors who are not working consistently.
