German Speaking Project Management (Part-time)

About the Role

Chemin, a leading expert in data labeling and AI services, has partnered with an AI-powered language solutions company. Over the past two years, our partnership has strengthened and scaled. As we expand our German language capabilities, we are building a dedicated team to drive project excellence and fuel account growth.

We're seeking a Part-Time Project Associate to join our team on a 2-month contract. You will work closely with our Project Manager and Associates to ensure the success of this project, measured by the accuracy, speed, and output (volume) of labeled data.
