The Director, China Product provides strategic direction and operational leadership for TechInsights' China product portfolio, with responsibility for ensuring alignment between product strategy, execution, and delivery excellence. This individual will oversee China product coverage and lead the roadmap for the company's multi-year China intelligence initiatives.

Working closely with cross-functional leaders across Product, Data, Engineering, Architecture, Reverse Engineering, and Marketing, the Director will direct and leverage the company's core technical capabilities — reverse engineering, process verification, and supply chain intelligence — against the U.S.-China technology competition and its cascading regulatory, strategic, and commercial implications. This is an opportunity to shape enterprise-level outcomes while collaborating across a broad range of functions.

This role is accountable for program schedules, budgets, deliverables, and business alignment, and ensures that the Compliance Monitor and other China ecosystem intelligence products advance corporate strategy, drive customer satisfaction, and establish TechInsights as the premier provider of China semiconductor intelligence. Success in this role is measured against defined revenue targets and user base expansion.

This position is well suited to a candidate who brings a distinctive combination of product management expertise, deep China domain knowledge, executive leadership capability, and strategic business acumen.

Provide Strategic Leadership and Governance for China Products:

Drive Product Strategy, Roadmap Development, and Market Positioning:

• Own the end-to-end China product roadmap
• Direct market analysis, competitive assessments, and customer research across fabless, capital equipment, IDM, foundry, hyperscaler, product manufacturer, and government segments to inform roadmap decisions.
• Define product vision, value propositions, and differentiation grounded in TechInsights reverse engineering, teardown, and process analysis.
• Collaborate with Reverse Engineering, Process Analysis, HPC, Market Analysis, Engineering, and Data teams to translate customer requirements into product specifications.
• Ensure products are AI-native from inception, including integration with Insightful Chat, MCP connectors, and a dedicated agent for China intelligence use cases.

Build and Maintain Strategic Customer and Partner Relationships:

• Serve as senior subject-matter expert and executive sponsor for key accounts across the semiconductor value chain.
• Coordinate government business development (BIS, Treasury/OFAC, DoD, ODNI, allied governments) with the existing government relations function, subject to budget availability.
• Represent TechInsights at industry conferences, briefings, and thought leadership forums.
• Identify, evaluate, and recommend acquisition targets that accelerate the company’s coverage on China - coordinating with corporate development and executive leadership.

Ensure Operational Excellence and Team Development:

• Establish and monitor China product KPIs covering revenue/ARR, content velocity, sales velocity, customer renewal rates, and bundle attach rate.
• Build, develop, and retain a high-performing analytical and product management team; manage the hiring plan and scaling model in step with revenue.

• Ability to translate reverse engineering, teardown, and process analysis into defensible technical evidence and strategic intelligence.
• Strong product management methodologies (Agile, roadmapping, stakeholder management); familiarity with AI-native product delivery (LLM-based assistants, MCP connectors) a plus.

• Visionary, results-oriented leader with high integrity, a collaborative mindset, and a customer-centric, external market orientation; adaptable and resilient in a fast-paced, evolving environment.
• Executive presence with the ability to influence C-suite, government, and board stakeholders; strong strategic thinking, program management, and change management capabilities.
