We are seeking a Senior Program Manager to own the operational programs that power autonomous vehicle deployments at scale. This person will build and maintain the systems, workflows, and cross-functional coordination that enable our sales, customer success, support, and engineering teams to deliver a consistent, high-quality deployment experience as our fleet and customer base grow. A key part of the role is maintaining a close feedback loop with the Product team, ensuring that field observations and customer needs consistently shape what we build next. This role is ideal for someone with 6+ years of experience who has scaled complex operational programs in a technical environment and thrives at the intersection of process, technology, and customer outcomes.
