Grammarly team members who will be collaborating at our New York hub must be based in the United States.

The opportunity 

Grammarly empowers people to thrive and connect, whenever and wherever they communicate. Every day, 30 million people and 30,000 teams around the world use our AI-powered writing assistant. All of this begins with our team collaborating in a values-driven and learning-oriented environment. 

To achieve our ambitious goals, we’re looking for an Annotation Program Manager to join our Analytical Linguistics team, a group of researchers and engineers who are passionate about language and communication. As Grammarly grows, we are developing a growing number of cutting-edge linguistic features, which require labeled data for building and evaluating our models. 

Grammarly’s engineers and researchers have the freedom to innovate and uncover breakthroughs—and, in turn, influence our product roadmap. The complexity of our technical challenges is growing rapidly as we scale our interfaces, algorithms, and infrastructure. Read more about our stack or hear from our team on our technical blog.

• Balance privacy and security considerations with scalable and efficient data collection.
• Design and implement process improvements.
• Ensure operational excellence of the annotation program and manage projects to meet quality, budget, and timeline requirements.

• Feels passionate about linguistics, natural language, and high-quality data.
• Communicates effectively with cross-functional teams and works collaboratively with remote teams in different time zones.

• Applies their exceptional attention to detail without losing sight of the big picture.
• Has at least 3 years of industry experience leading and managing annotation projects.
