Role Goal
Provide strategic and operational leadership for a portfolio of high throughput, clinically defensible, audit ready surgical video annotation programs. Own scale, standardization, automation leverage, quality systems, and client trust across multiple programs—ensuring predictable delivery, regulatory readiness, and measurable ROI on human in the loop operations.

What You'll Do
Portfolio & Delivery Ownership (E2E)
• Own end to end delivery for multiple concurrent surgical video annotation programs across clients, procedures, and modalities.
• Set and enforce standard operating models from intake → de identification → annotation → QA/IRR → adjudication → dataset release + evidence packs.
• Ensure programs meet or exceed SLAs, quality thresholds, and release timelines at scale. Operating Model & Standardization




• Define and institutionalize annotation operating standards: o Program playbooks o SOPs o Quality gates o Evidence pack structure o Dataset versioning discipline
• Ensure every program is reproducible, auditable, and clinically defensible. Ontology & Clinical Governance
• Partner with senior clinical SMEs to: o Define and approve procedure level ontologies (phases, steps, anatomy, tools, events). o Ensure consistent translation into labeling guidelines, UI constraints, and QA checks.
• Own governance mechanisms to resolve clinical ambiguity, manage guideline evolution, and prevent ontology drift across programs.

Automation First Strategy
• Set the automation vision and roadmap for surgical video labeling: o Pre labeling + verification as default o Confidence/uncertainty based task routing o Active learning feedback loops
• Drive continuous reduction in cost per labeled minute and human effort per release.
• Partner with ML, platform, and da
