You will collaborate with product, engineering and legal teams, define quality criteria for SEP question classes, and guide AI capabilities across IPlytics and Protégé platforms while ensuring high standards and traceable reasoning.

Qualifications

• Recognized expertise in Data Discovery and Enrichment, with a track record of leading taxonomy, classification, or content enrichment projects independently
• Direct practitioner experience in FRAND licensing or negotiation, technical SEP essentiality analysis, or SEP portfolio management
• Working knowledge of major standards bodies and their patent ecosystems: 3GPP/ETSI, IEEE, MPEG/AOM, JEDEC, ITU
• Experience analyzing patent portfolios at scale

• Build and maintain the curated evaluation question set used across all automated testing and release governance regimes
• Calibrate automated evaluation systems by reviewing AI outputs against expert judgment and documenting overrides with traceable reasoning
• Hold release gate authority for SEP question classes — AI updates that degrade quality below the defined bar do not proceed to production
• Define and maintain the methodology for SEP landscape construction and deliver bespoke landscape engagements for high-value customer projects
• Lead quarterly structured sessions with FRAND practitioners, licensing executives, and patent pool representatives
• Collaborate with Product Management, Engineering, and Data Science teams as a quality authority throughout the product development lifecycle
