Key Responsibilities:

• Strategic Vision and Leadership:
• Lead the product vision and strategy for vehicle lighting, vision, and sensing technologies to help secure Lucid’s continual competitive advantage in a margin-appropriate fashion.

• Holistically drive multi-year product roadmaps and align them with the company’s overall business strategy and market trends.
• Collaborative Development and Stakeholder Engagement:
• Work closely with UX designers to ensure seamless integration of technologies that delight customers with intuitive ease and emotional appeal, with a razor-sharp focus on incremental value vs. incremental lifecycle cost.
• Partner with marketing teams to define market needs that identify customer value propositions and then express Lucid’s advantages in compelling ways that truly land and stick.
• Serve as the primary point of contact between engineering, UX, marketing, and other stakeholders to ensure alignment and project success.
• Gather insights and feedback from internal and external stakeholders, integrating them into product development processes.
• Market Analysis, Market Research, and Innovation:
• Conduct market analyses to identify the most forward-looking trends and innovation opportunities in vehicle sensing technologies.
• Stay abreast of competitive offerings and ensure the company’s solutions are best-in-class.
• Leverage a mixture of qual and quant market research techniques to gain fundamental insight into the potential response, viability, and corresponding value of lighting, vision and sensing alternatives.
• Continually engage with research teams and top vendors to trigger development programs that could support Lucid’s leadership positioning
• Collaborate intensively with engineering teams to optimize the relationships between product innovation, piece part cost, capital investment, time to market, and actual customer impact.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Engineering, Product Management, Business, or a related field. MBA or equivalent competence strongly desired.
• At least 8 years of demonstrated high performance as a product manager who consistently delivers world-class products, preferably within the automotive branch or technical industries with similar rigor.
• Proven ability to lead cross-functional teams and manage complex projects under intense time pressure.
• Possess an exceptionally innovative mindset with a passion for sustainability and electric vehicles.
• Clear aptitude in balancing conflicting needs such as feature-benefits vs development expense vs capital investment vs product cost vs time to market.
• Significant knowledge of vehicle lighting, vision, and sensing technologies—or a strong track record of rapid onboarding in analogous technical fields.
• Extremely refined communication skills with the ability to bridge technical and non-technical stakeholders. Experienced at persuasively presenting to upper management with targeted messaging, even when under uncomfortable pressure.

Advantageous:

• Proven track record of deriving deep insights from a mixture of qualitative and quantitative user experience research, including uncovering future opportunities where companies could carve out unique value for customers.
• Very well-developed sense for visual aesthetics, user experience, and how to generate targeted customer emotional responses that could enhance Lucid’s differentiation.
• Demonstrated understanding of mechanical engineering, plastic injection molding and related manufacturing processes, materials properties, electromechanical packaging, and optical technologies.
• Instinctive mentor and change management agent who continually elevates the skills and capabilities of others.
• Deep understanding of international markets and corresponding mindsets, ideally with multinational working experience.
• Natural inclination to persistently track down and solve necessary details as an integral part of implementing the overall strategy. Our viewpoint: strategy without brilliant execution is useless.
• Creative thinker who inspires and supports others in generating unexpectedly delightful solutions for demanding customers. Extra bonus for being a frequent intellectual property contributor.
• Show a powerful ability to inspire and guide multidisciplinary teams to deliver market-defining product and brand experiences. Not the simple stuff—the market-defining things that generate strong brand separation from competitors.
