• Familiarity with AI-enabled products or business models, or demonstrated ability to learn quickly and apply those concepts to licensing, data rights, and usage measurement decisions.
• Comfort working with large and complex commercial data sets, pricing and contract structures, and financial or operational analyses to inform decisions.
• Experience partnering closely with Legal teams while maintaining a strong commercial and customer-centric perspective.
• Ability to manage multiple complex work-streams in parallel, balancing near-term execution needs with longer-term architectural decisions.
