Lead discovery with OEM stakeholders to uncover unmet needs, identify friction points, and inform the long-term vision for the AEC platform.
Define suggested success metrics for OEM integrations and platform capabilities in tandem with the Program Management Organization; instrument, monitor, and report on adoption, satisfaction, and value realization.
Create and maintain product artifacts including BRDs, PRDs, ISDs, and internal and external-facing documentation.
Represent the OEM product perspective in cross-functional planning, executive reviews, and company-level roadmap discussions.
Stay current on OEM industry trends, certification requirements, competitive platforms, and regulatory developments affecting automotive retail technology.
