Technical Product Manager, China

• End-to-end delivery of the Pre-Sprint through Sprint 4 plan: cloud VPC provisioning, IDC Quanta test instance stand-up, model evaluation logistics, RAG architecture build-out, and production deployment — on schedule for the Week 12 first-capability target and Week 22 go-live. 
• Manage the ICP (Internet Content Provider) filing end-to-end — initiate immediately on program kickoff, engage a qualified filing agent, and keep the 4–8 week process moving without becoming the thing that blocks Week 9. 
• Own the MLPS 2.0 gap assessment and PIPL compliance review for the Quanta China deployment, and document the certification level required against current posture. 
• Provision and configure China cloud infrastructure (Alibaba Cloud primary, AWS China as fallback) — VPC isolation, BYOK encryption with keys held outside China, and government disclosure notification clauses in every cloud contract. 
• Run parallel model evaluation (DeepSeek, Qwen, with Kimi/GLM/Hunyuan/ERNIE as fallback) against the pass/fail quality threshold defined jointly with the US Technical Product Owner. 
• Document and maintain the External China-Protected RAG architecture, the identity federation design, and the MCP server build-out — confirming none of it requires touching Quanta's core codebase. 
• Chair local steering committee touchpoints, prepare status decks, and escalate any new HIGH-rated risk within 24 hours to the China Country Lead and the US steering committee representative.  Own weekly status reporting and the Week 9 decision memo inputs from the China side: risk register, deployment readiness, and remediation plans for any red-rated criterion. 
• Coordinate with IDC's legal team and outside counsel on the PRC regulatory opinion, and support export control review with a clean, API-calls-only test structure. 

• Ability to operate comfortably across both IDC's China operations and its US steering committee.
• 10+ years in technology implementation, including 5+ years leading cross-border China deployments.
• Hands-on ICP filing experience (at least one prior successful filing) and working knowledge of MLPS 2.0.
• Prior budget responsibility exceeding $1M USD on a comparable engagement.
• Hands-on experience with Alibaba Cloud or AWS China (Sinnet), including VPC isolation, network segmentation, and BYOK encryption.
• Bilingual in Mandarin and English
• Location: West Coast

• Experience integrating enterprise platforms with China-approved LLM APIs (DeepSeek, Qwen, Kimi, GLM, Hunyuan, ERNIE, or comparable).
• Familiarity with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architectures designed to prevent raw data transmission to LLM providers.
• PIPL, PRC data-security, and cross-border data-transfer assessment experience, including coordination with outside legal counsel.

Occassional travel to Beijing and to IDC's US offices should be expected for steering committee meetings, sprint gate reviews, and key milestones.Why This Role Stands Out At IDC, your work helps shape how the world understands technology and where it goes next.
