At Applied Intuition, you will:

 * Stand up and run program management - define milestones, own timelines and deliverables, manage sprint and roadmap execution for software development teams through series production
 * Manage supplier relationships at Tier-1 and Tier-2 level; hold partners accountable to schedule and quality commitments
 * Serve as the primary customer contact for EMEA OEMs; translate requirements into tracked engineering work and provide structured, regular updates
