This position carries direct accountability for program outcomes across scope, timeline, budget, and quality, while simultaneously building and maintaining high-trust relationships with engineers, designers, fabricators, and manufacturing partners across global time zones.

The role operates with significant autonomy and is expected to make high-impact decisions that shape both client experience and internal capability.

  • Lead the development and integration of hardware, software, and physical display systems, ensuring seamless performance in demanding retail environments.
  • Build and maintain high-trust relationships with engineers, designers, fabricators, and manufacturing partners across global time zones.
  • Define technical requirements, develop comprehensive technology BOMs, and guide sourcing, procurement, and estimation strategies.
Program & Stakeholder Management

  • Define and implement documentation standards, QA processes, and best practices for installation, support, and troubleshooting.
  • Lead internal and external status meetings, delivering clear updates to senior stakeholders.
Hands-On Technical Execution
  • Personally evaluate, test, and validate technology solutions as part of pre-sale exploration, prototyping, and client demonstrations.
  • Build quick-turn prototypes and technology demos that support new business development and innovation initiatives.
  • Act as a tier-two escalation point for complex troubleshooting, ensuring issues are resolved swiftly and root causes are understood.
  • Partner with technology vendors to scope, assess, and co-develop solutions tailored for retail activation.
Cross-Functional Leadership & Collaboration
  • Operate as the central hub between engineering, design, production, sourcing, and client teams—translating technical details into clear, actionable insights.
  • Foster an inclusive and collaborative environment that encourages experimentation, knowledge sharing, and creative problem-solving.
