- **Operational & Performance Excellence:** Define confidence thresholds, human-in-the-loop review workflows, and error-handling mechanics to ensure high accuracy, auditability, and system stability during high-volume periods.
- **Cross-Functional Leadership:** Communicate priorities, explicit tradeoffs, and product requirements clearly across engineering, design, security, support, and executive leadership.
## Must-Have Qualifications

- **Document Processing Depth:** Hands-on experience leading products or initiatives involving document ingestion, classification, OCR, structured data extraction, AI/ML, or LLMs.
- **Data-Driven Impact:** Proven track record of quantifying results using metrics such as processing time, error reduction, adoption rates, support volume, or workflow efficiency.
- **Deadline-Driven Execution:** Demonstrated experience making tough prioritization decisions and delivering complex releases under hard regulatory or seasonal deadlines.
