Key Responsibilities

Data Science & Computer Vision Leadership

Lead the technical strategy for a mobile Computer Vision SDK, enabling intelligent image capture through real-time quality assessment, image validation, augmented reality guidance, and user coaching.

Drive the design and ongoing optimization of image processing pipelines that transform raw image captures into actionable operational insights in near real-time.

Guide development of a scalable backend platform for configuring, managing, and deploying image processing workflows across multiple business use cases.

Define and operationalize KPI frameworks that convert image recognition outputs into reliable business metrics, dashboards, and decision-support insights.

Partner with product and engineering teams to integrate computer vision capabilities across multiple applications and platforms.

Collaborate with data engineering and analytics teams to enable enterprise-wide access to image recognition insights through modern data platforms and AI-powered experiences.

Establish standards for model evaluation, benchmarking, quality assurance, drift monitoring, experimentation, and continuous improvement.

Research and implement emerging computer vision and machine learning technologies, including foundation models, self-supervised learning, synthetic data generation, and edge AI optimization.

Serve as the subject matter expert for model validation, experimentation, performance analysis, and solution design.

Product Vision, Strategy & Execution

Define and own the vision, strategy, and roadmap for the computer vision product portfolio, including SDKs, image-processing services, and business rules engines.

Establish and drive product objectives and key results (OKRs) aligned to measurable business outcomes.

Lead product discovery efforts through stakeholder engagement, user research, workflow analysis, and market evaluation.

Own product backlog prioritization, balancing customer value, strategic alignment, technical considerations, and delivery effort.

Define and monitor key product success metrics, including adoption, model accuracy, user engagement, operational impact, and time-to-value.

Create and maintain product artifacts such as business cases, product requirements documents (PRDs), roadmaps, release communications, and executive updates.

Act as the primary bridge between business stakeholders, technical teams, and leadership to ensure alignment and successful product delivery.

Develop value realization plans that support adoption, user enablement, training, and measurable ROI.

AI Vendor & Data Asset Management

Manage relationships with external AI, machine learning, and image recognition technology providers.

Establish and maintain service-level expectations for model performance, accuracy, retraining cadence, and issue resolution.

Oversee image datasets, reference assets, metadata, and catalog governance to ensure data quality and consistency.

Evaluate model performance using quantitative methods and challenge assumptions through rigorous testing and analysis.

Assess emerging technologies, partners, and vendors to ensure a best-in-class computer vision ecosystem.
