Broad expertise across product strategy, data engineering, commercial operations, and legal/compliance frameworks.
Strong technical fluency, comfortable with data pipelines, API design, and metadata schemas.
Proven ability to evaluate complex situations and exercise independent judgment.
Clear, persuasive communicator adaptable across technical teams, legal counsel, finance leadership, and C-suite audiences.

Nice To Haves

Direct experience with machine learning workflows, computer vision, or 3D/spatial data, especially around model training pipelines or large-scale media/image processing for AI applications.
Experience as a formal network builder with lasting cross-functional working relationships.
Background in prop-tech, real estate technology, digital media licensing, or two-sided marketplace infrastructure.

Responsibilities

Own the product lifecycle and roadmap for the partner ecosystem and data pipeline, translating business goals into a sequenced build plan.
Define product requirements for core ingestion channels including bulk upload APIs, automated system syncs, and batch pipelines.
Own the rights-tagging infrastructure to determine legal clearance for AI training and derivative content creation.

Design partner discovery and ranking logic to incentivize higher-quality capture formats.
Collaborate with Legal to translate vendor onboarding and contract terms into platform guardrails.
Work with Finance and Ops to scale the payment architecture and commercial pipelines.
Support the building of infrastructure for enterprise licensing and potential M&A as the asset library matures.
