Hi S***s, Great question,here’s a bit more color on our R&D structure and your potential remit: • Team size & structure , Roughly 30 full-time R&D professionals split between our Seattle HQ and a smaller engineering/visualization hub in Europe. , Cross-functional mix: software engineers, 3D artists, human-anatomy specialists and data-integration experts. • Budget authority , Annual R&D budget in the high-seven-figure range (personnel, hardware/software licenses, pilot programs, travel). , As Global Director, you’d own budget planning, allocation and forecasting,working closely with our CFO for quarterly reviews but with final sign-off on day-to-day spend. • Decision-making scope , Full autonomy to set the XR/VR product roadmap, prioritize projects and scale the team. , Authority to hire, choose external vendors or partners, and deploy rapid-prototyping funds. , Regular partnership with the CTO and our executive steering committee,so you’ll both drive execution and influence long-term strategy. Hope this helps clarify,let me know if you’d like any further detail before our call! Best, J***e HR Recruiter, StrategyBrain

Hi S***s, Great questions,happy to dive in: 1. Preventing scope creep • Stage-gated process: Every major feature goes through requirements review, prototype validation, and executive steering-committee sign-off before scaling. • Clear OKRs and roadmaps: We set quarterly objectives with measurable deliverables and budget milestones, so any proposed additions are evaluated against impact and resource trade-offs. • Agile governance: Our R&D teams operate in two-week sprints with built-in backlog grooming. Change requests are triaged by product, engineering, and finance leads to ensure we stay on track. 2. Travel cadence • Typical rhythm: Expect 4,6 trips per year between Seattle and our Europe hub, usually 3,5 days each. • Combined visits: We often align these trips with cross-functional workshops, partner meetings at N***O sites, or major conferences to maximize value. • Flexibility: We also support virtual collaboration,so you can dial in for weekly stand-ups or design reviews when you’re on the road or working remotely. 3. Work-life balance • Autonomy with boundaries: While you’ll own high-impact projects, we respect “focus time” on your calendar and limit after-hours meetings. • Flexible work model: Most of our senior leaders blend remote days with in-office collaboration, and we encourage people to block personal time just as they would a client meeting. • Supportive culture: We track workload through regular check-ins, and our People team offers quarterly wellness stipends, mental-health resources, and generous vacation policies. Hope this gives you a clear picture,let me know if you’d like more detail on any of these points, or if there’s anything else on your mind before our call on the 27th. Looking forward to our conversation! Best, J***e HR Recruiter, StrategyBrain

Hi S***s, Great question,balancing military and medical priorities is critical. Here’s how we do it: 1. Joint governance , We establish a steering committee with representatives from both military and medical teams. Early on, we align on a prioritization framework that rates features by mission impact, patient safety benefits, and timeline sensitivity. 2. Stage‐gated delivery , Every major milestone (requirements, prototype, validation) is locked behind agreed‐upon deliverables. This keeps scope tight: new or divergent asks only enter the pipeline at the next gate if they clear impact and resource reviews. 3. Dedicated liaisons & sprints , We assign a program manager to each stakeholder group who collaborates in bi‐weekly sprints, triaging change requests in real time. This ensures both sides stay informed and any conflicts are surfaced quickly. 4. Transparent trade‐offs , We publish a rolling roadmap with RAG (Red/Amber/Green) status, budget burn‐down, and benefit scores. When conflicts arise, we host a rapid alignment workshop,everyone sees the data, and we negotiate trade-offs against timeline and objectives. Your deep experience with N***O D***A and S***O would be invaluable in leading this kind of multi-stakeholder process. This role gives you the autonomy to set those frameworks and drive consensus at the highest levels. Does this approach address your concern? I’m excited to discuss further on the 27th,or let me know if you’d like any other details beforehand. Best, J***e HR Recruiter, StrategyBrain
