About Align Turn

Align Turn provides quality assurance for speech training data. We help AI research teams validate audio quality, verify transcripts and timestamps, and ensure models are only trained on the best data. Our distributed teams of transcribers work across many languages — and we're growing fast.

About the Role

We're hiring Transcription Project Managers to each own the transcription pipeline for a single language. You'll be the accountable owner for your language: managing a team of hundreds of remote transcribers, keeping quality high, and delivering accurate transcripts on schedule.

This is a hands-on operational role. You'll spend your days coordinating people, auditing work, unblocking issues, and making sure nothing slips through the cracks.

What You'll Do

Own day-to-day transcription operations for your assigned language, delivering high-quality transcripts on time
Manage a distributed team of hundreds of transcribers: onboarding, training, scheduling, calibration, and ongoing performance management
Track throughput and deadlines, forecast capacity, and escalate risks early
Audit transcriber work continuously and provide detailed, actionable feedback to maintain data integrity
Maintain and improve training materials, style guides, quizzes, and QA checklists
Triage questions from transcribers and resolve edge cases against the style guide
Report progress, quality metrics, and blockers to leadership and clients
Surface tooling and workflow improvements to streamline operations

What You Bring

Strong project management and operational execution skills — you can run a process reliably at scale and hit deadlines
Experience managing large distributed teams, contractors, freelancers, or annotators (or comparable coordination experience, e.g. BPO, community management, large volunteer programs)
Extreme attention to detail and a high bar for data accuracy
Excellent written communication — most of your team interaction is async and in writing
Comfort with spreadsheets and tracking tools; able to stay organized across hundreds of people and thousands of files
Reliable internet connection and availability for overlap with your team's working hours

Big Plus

Fluency in Tamil, Hindi, Spanish, or Tagalog — you'll be able to spot-check transcripts in your language directly
Prior experience in transcription, translation, localization, subtitling, or data labeling / annotation operations
Experience with QA workflows, audio data, or linguistics
Basic technical proficiency (spreadsheet formulas, SQL, Python, or AI coding assistants) to streamline workflows
