About The Role

What if your deep command of Tamil and your leadership instincts could directly shape how AI learns to understand spoken language? We're looking for a Subject Matter Expert (SME) based in or around London to lead our Tamil audio transcription project. You'll oversee a team of language labelers and reviewers, provide linguistic guidance, and help ensure consistent, accurate, and high-quality output across the project.

London is home to one of the largest and most active Tamil-speaking diaspora communities in the world — your cross-cultural perspective and command of the language make you uniquely well-placed for this role.

This is a hands-on leadership role that rewards sound judgment, clear communication, and a sharp ear for language. You'll guide a team through the natural messiness of real-world audio while keeping quality standards high and the team aligned.
