• Translate downstream ADAS/AD feature mechanics to baseline software and data quality requirements; educate and advocate use cases with upstream data teams.
• Manage the ADAS country tiering model. Prioritize, negotiate, and drive the expansion of key ADAS attributes into new regions and deeper road categories across internal teams.
• Maintain open communication channels with original equipment manufacturer (OEM) partners to ensure our core roadmaps remain user- and partner-focused.
