Strategic Projects Lead

Strategic Projects Lead

The Strategic Projects Lead owns a customer project from end to end. This typically looks like taking a vague research goal from a lab to a delivered dataset a researcher actually trusts. It is the most operationally intense seat at Chakra and the one sitting closest to the customer.

We are looking for someone that is able to deeply understand a given spec, own the relationship between a variety of stakeholders, and fulfill deliverables at a high quality bar.

As an SPL you would:

• Own multi-project delivery end to end, which may include scoping, contributor orchestration, quality assessment, and shipping.
• Recruit and manage a pool of expert contributors who build gyms and trajectories.
• Track and prioritize milestones for project completion in a space where requirements may shift overnight.
• Assess delivery quality regularly before they are sent to a customer.

This is a hands-on operations role, which involves a mix of strategy and product management. The work is specification, coordination, judgment, and follow-through at a rapid pace set by labs that want the data as soon as possible.
