Project Coordination Associate (Japanese Speaker)

As a Part-Time Project Associate, you will support the Delivery Team at Chemin, working closely with our Project Delivery Executives to ensure the successful execution of Japanese-language AI data annotation projects.

In this role, you will be responsible for operational delivery and quality oversight, acting as the main point of contact for Japanese-speaking annotators. As the internal team does not speak Japanese, this role is critical in ensuring that annotations meet quality standards before submission to clients.

You will report to the Project Delivery Executive and play a hands-on role in managing people, processes, and quality across ongoing projects that support AI advancements across multiple industries.

• Providing day-to-day operational support to ensure Japanese-language projects are delivered on time and to a high standard
• Assisting with project setup, planning, and guideline development
• Managing and supporting a remote team of Japanese-speaking annotators
• Acting as the language quality gatekeeper for Japanese annotations, ensuring submissions meet required accuracy and quality thresholds (target: 95%)
• Guiding annotators through questions and challenges via internal communication platforms
• Performing detailed quality checks to catch language, formatting, and annotation errors before client submission
• Handling project administration tasks in line with internal and client standards
• Communicating clearly with internal stakeholders on project progress, risks, and quality issues
