• Prepare written quality assessments for annotators with specific examples and recommendations
• Evaluate TTS output and provide ground truth assessments of pronunciation, prosody, and naturalness
• Update and expand annotation guidelines when gaps or edge cases are identified
• Prepare and run calibration meetings with annotators
• Hold scheduled office hours during active studies for real-time annotator support
• Develop onboarding materials and resources for new annotators
• Write QA reports on annotation quality and calibration outcomes
• Review production audio and flag quality issues to the team

• Ability to write clear, structured instructions and deliver specific, actionable feedback
• Comfortable working with data and metrics including inter-rater agreement scores, audit spreadsheets, and structured feedback templates
• Self-directed with ability to manage feedback cycles, QA reviews, and data projects without close oversight
• Availability during some US Pacific business hours for team syncs and real-time support
• Authorization to work in your country of residence

Preferred:

• Experience writing or maintaining annotation guidelines or rubrics
• Experience training, mentoring, or managing other annotators
