Project Manager, EBP Operations
Evidence Based Associates
About Empower Community Care
Position Summary
A key part of this role is partnering directly with leadership, including the C-suite and other executives, to translate strategic priorities into concrete operational plans and to drive those plans through execution. Fluency with automation and AI tools is a foundational requirement for this role, expected to be applied across process design, reporting, and day-to-day operational work.
Success depends on close, ongoing collaboration with all other functional areas — including Clinical, Finance, Technology, HR, and Sales & Marketing — to ensure operational changes are clinically sound, financially sustainable, well-positioned both internally and externally, and competently executed. Beyond these core priorities, this person will also serve as a utility resource for general process improvement and automation.
Key Responsibilities
- Strategic Planning & Executive Partnership: Collaborate with organizational leaders to translate strategic priorities into structured, actionable operational plans. Provide regular progress updates, risk assessments, and recommendations to leadership to support decision-making, and help leadership teams think through sequencing and trade-offs as plans evolve.
- Project Planning & Execution: Develop and manage project plans, timelines, milestones, and dependencies for cross-functional initiatives, partnering closely with Clinical, Finance, Marketing, and other functional teams to keep plans aligned and moving. Proactively identify risks and roadblocks, build mitigation plans, and keep initiatives moving through to completion. This includes managing organizational transitions such as leadership successions or role realignments, coordinating the handoff of responsibilities and redistribution of work across teams so nothing falls through the cracks.
- Operational Integration: Lead the consolidation of fragmented workflows — such as contract management, customer billing, deliverable tracking, and internal workforce resource planning — into single, coordinated structures. Convert existing practices into clear, repeatable, documented processes and define clear ownership and scalable operational structure in areas where responsibilities overlap and accountability is unclear.
- Product & Resource Development (Clinical Models): Project manage the development of new products and resources within Empower’s clinical models — such as new curricula, training materials, or program resources — coordinating across Clinical, Technology, and other stakeholders from concept through launch.
- Performance Measurement & Reporting: Define success metrics and KPIs for key initiatives, and build and maintain status reports and dashboards that keep stakeholders and leadership aligned on progress, risks, and outcomes.
- Resource & Budget Coordination: Support budget tracking, resource allocation, and vendor or contract coordination across initiatives, partnering with Finance to ensure operational plans remain financially sustainable.
- Continuous Improvement: Serve as a utility resource for general process improvement and automation across the division, supporting Empower’s broader move toward integrated, One Empower operations.
Required Qualifications
- Experience: Approximately 3–4 years in a behavioral health / human services operations role, or comparable experience in project or program management, including experience building project plans, tracking budgets, and managing risk.
- Automation & AI Fluency (Foundational): Working proficiency with automation and AI-enabled tools, and demonstrated ability to apply them to streamline processes, reporting, and daily operational work. This is a foundational requirement of the role, not an optional skill.
- Skills: Strong organizational, planning, and process-documentation skills; comfort working across ambiguous, cross-functional initiatives; budget and financial-model literacy; clear written and verbal communication with both internal teams and external partners, including experience presenting to senior leadership and executives.
- Work Style: Able to work independently in a remote environment while managing multiple concurrent priorities and shifting between hands-on execution, higher-level process design, and executive-facing strategic planning.
Preferred Skills & Experience
- Certifications & Methodology: PMP certification, or equivalent project management training/methodology experience (e.g., Agile, Waterfall, or hybrid approaches).
- Domain Familiarity: Familiarity with evidence-based practice models (e.g., FFT, MST, BSFT) is a plus, but not required.
Additional Requirements
- Background Check: Employment is contingent upon successful completion of a background check, consistent with applicable law and Empower’s standard hiring practices.
- Confidentiality: This role may involve exposure to confidential organizational, financial, and clinical program information. The employee must maintain strict confidentiality and comply with Empower’s internal data governance and confidentiality policies.
- Work Environment: This is a remote, computer-based position requiring prolonged periods of sitting and extended use of a computer, keyboard, and video-conferencing tools, along with travel of up to approximately 25% of the time for in-person meetings, leadership offsites, or site visits. Reasonable accommodations will be made for qualified individuals with disabilities in accordance with the ADA.
- Other Duties: This job description reflects the general nature and level of work performed and is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all responsibilities, duties, and skills required. Duties, responsibilities, and activities may change at any time with or without notice.

Project Manager - Annotation
Pillar Labs
About Pillar Labs
Founded by a trio of researchers, Pillar Labs serves as the internal R&D and innovation engine behind some of the most technically advanced human data annotation in the world. We sit at the intersection of human expertise and artificial intelligence, developing cutting-edge systems, methodologies, and tools that push the boundaries of agentic AI training and evaluation data. Our mission is to enable models to think, reason, and act with greater autonomy, accuracy, and depth of understanding.
About the Role
We’re looking for a Project Manager to help lead complex, multi-phase annotation initiatives from planning through execution. This role combines strategic oversight, operational coordination, and people management. This looks like owning projects end to end, meeting client and internal quality standards, and supporting the continued growth of our annotator community.
You’ll collaborate closely with the Pillar Labs core team, project specialists, and reviewers to translate goals into actionable workflows, monitor project health, and drive continuous improvement across quality, efficiency, and engagement. As a member of a small and fast-moving team, you’ll also contribute to broader operational efforts that help Pillar Labs scale effectively as we expand our research and production capabilities.
Primary Responsibilities
Project Leadership & Operations (65–70%)
Oversee day-to-day project operations, ensuring deliverables meet scope, schedule, and quality targets.
Translate client or internal objectives into clear annotation goals, workflows, and measurable outcomes.
Collaborate with Project Experts and Quality Reviewers to refine guidelines, manage feedback cycles, and implement process changes.
Track progress through internal dashboards and performance data, identifying risks or bottlenecks early.
Coordinate launches, updates, and transitions between project phases.
Partner with the R&D and Operations teams to pilot new annotation methodologies and tooling improvements.
Team Coordination & Communication (20–25%)
Serve as the main point of contact for assigned projects, bridging communication between leadership, research, developers, project specialists, reviewers, experts, and annotators.
Monitor internal communication channels, ensuring issues are triaged promptly and feedback loops stay active and actionable.
Support a healthy and well-informed annotator community by sharing updates, clarifications, and policy changes.
Contribute to the creation of documentation, training materials, and onboarding content to align annotators, reviewers, and the internal Pillar team on standards and best practices.
Help maintain accountability, structure, and fairness across the community through clear communication and proactive moderation when needed.
General Operations & Scaling (10%)
Contribute to building internal systems and processes that help Pillar Labs scale efficiently (e.g., tooling setup, documentation, workflow automation, or process standardization).
Participate in internal planning sessions or cross-team initiatives focused on operational excellence and scalability.
Identify pain points or inefficiencies in company processes and propose sustainable solutions.
Support light operational or administrative tasks as needed during high-growth or transition phases.
You Might Be a Good Fit If You:
Have 4+ years of experience managing complex, multi-stakeholder projects in AI training, data operations, product operations, or a related analytical/technical field.
Have experience at an early-stage or scaling startup, or in product operations or annotation project environments, where systems and roles are still being built.
Have an overlap with UK/European business hours.
Can plan, execute, and monitor multiple initiatives simultaneously, balancing speed, quality, and clarity without losing sight of long-term goals.
Excel at building and scaling operational systems: you identify inefficiencies, design sustainable workflows, and implement improvements with measurable impact.
Are fluent in metrics-driven decision-making: you use data to identify risks, measure progress, and drive alignment across teams.
Communicate with precision and confidence. Can translate technical, ambiguous, or evolving information into clear action plans and decisions.
Demonstrate structured problem-solving under ambiguity: you can break down loosely defined goals into actionable, trackable steps.
Bring strong interpersonal and cross-functional collaboration skills, balancing empathy with accountability in working with leadership/founders, engineers, researchers, reviewers, experts, and annotators alike.
We may use artificial intelligence (AI) tools to support parts of the hiring process, such as reviewing applications, analyzing resumes, or assessing responses. These tools assist our recruitment team but do not replace human judgment. Final hiring decisions are ultimately made by humans.
