Your work will directly influence how we handle data, navigate legal risks, and maintain our reputation as a leader in the intelligent mobility space.

- You hold a Bachelor’s degree or higher in Engineering or a related field.
- You possess at least 10 years of professional experience, with a minimum of 3 years specifically in the automotive, mapping, or autonomous driving sectors.
- You have a deep understanding of Chinese regulations, such as the Surveying and Mapping Law and Data Security Law, alongside international standards like GDPR.
- You are fluent in English and can navigate technical and legal documentation with ease.
- You have a proven track record of managing complex projects and communicating effectively across diverse, cross-functional teams.
We highly value candidates who have experience engaging with regulatory bodies like the MIIT or the Ministry of Natural Resources.

Joining our team means you will be at the forefront of the autonomous driving revolution. You will have the chance to shape the compliance strategy for a company that is redefining how the world moves. We offer a collaborative environment where your strategic insights will be heard by executive leadership and your work will have a tangible impact on the safety and success of our global operations.
