About The Opportunity

قائد/ة مشروع — تكييف المعايير المرجعية لتقييم الذكاء الاصطناعي للسياق الخليجي

نبحث عن قائد/ة مشروع لإدارة فريق من الخبراء الخليجيين في تطوير محتوى تقييمي عالي الجودة باللغة العربية الفصحى الحديثة.

LILT adapts benchmarks into Modern Standard Arabic for the GCC market. Tasks are delivered as: an Arabic task statement, a scoring rubric, human & LLM submissions, scores, and a gold solution. The output includes published datasets and research papers.

This project lead role is for a specific benchmark. The pilot is complete and we are scaling to full production. The project lead will work with GCC-based domain experts organized into pods by domain. The lead will be provided with production support to help organize logistics.

What You’ll Deliver

Onboard Task Creators and Reviewers: rubric methodology, GCC adaptation guidelines, scoring tools, and gate-tracking workflow.
Gate tasks for quality and provide feedback at all checkpoints: Tasks, rubrics, reviews and solutions.
Manage rework. Decide what gets sent back, why, and to whom to ensure the utmost quality.
Coordinate across domain pods (Islamic Finance, Petroleum Engineering, Healthcare, Government, Real Estate, etc) and work with Production support to keep the pipeline running at a steady weekly delivery cadence.
Escalate sourcing gaps, tool issues, and timing outliers to Production support; identify top-performing task creators for more work.
Partner with the LILT research team on weekly delivery reviews and on inputs into research.
Ensure cultural and regulatory accuracy: tasks must be appropriate for the GCC regulatory & cultural environment, i.e. GCC frameworks (ZATCA, CMA, AAOIFI, Saudi Aramco HSE / SAES, etc.).

Qualifications

Native-level Arabic (MSA) with professional working English. You will be reading, editing, and gate-approving content in both languages every day.
Project management experience leading distributed expert teams, ideally in localization, evaluation, annotation, or a regulated knowledge-work domain.
Familiarity with LLMs, rubric evaluation and LLM pipelines. LILT provides the tooling, but you must be comfortable operating and teaching LLM use to non-technical users.
Demonstrable judgment about quality in professional GCC Arabic content: you can tell a polished MSA financial advisory deck from a rough one without a checklist.
Working familiarity with one or more relevant sectors (Finance, Healthcare, Government, Manufacturing, Real Estate, Retail, Information, Professional Services).
Strong written communication. Most coordination is async across pods.
Nice to have: Prior experience working on AI evaluation, benchmarking, or RLHF / SFT data programs.

What to Consider Before Applying

This is a contract engagement of approximately 20 hours per week over a 10-week period, Sunday through Thursday, starting immediately.
Compensation is a competitive USD-based contract day rate aligned with senior project management experience.
Candidates must be based in the GCC region (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Kuwait, or Oman).
Reliable availability and consistent delivery are essential due to the project’s weekly production cadence.
