Senior Program Manager, Trucking

The role

You will own the integrated commercialization roadmap for autonomous trucking and run the weekly cross-functional operating cadence around it. You will track dependencies and risks across autonomy, operations, sales and customers to move the commercial plan toward driverless launches.

What you will do

• Build and own the integrated roadmap tying customer commitments, OEM truck supply, autonomy readiness, lane and site activation, and operations readiness to dates
• Surface the critical path, slips, risks and decisions needed early and frame them for decision makers
• Lead execution of key company milestones involving multiple departments
• Run the operating cadence, including a weekly cross-functional Truck Program meeting
• Help establish repeatable frameworks, procedures and decision loops for scaling
• Produce executive-ready updates and program artifacts
• Communicate clearly with technical, operational, commercial and executive audiences

Required qualifications

• 7+ years in program or product leadership in a complex technical and operational environment
• Track record of integrating programs across teams you did not control, with hardware, software, safety and operations in the loop
• Enough technical fluency to judge whether an autonomy or hardware milestone slip and its recovery plan are credible
• Separates facts, assumptions and risks in writing and speech; comfortable delivering unwelcome news early, with options
• Builds minimum structure that works and removes or upgrades it when it stops working
• Executive-grade verbal and written communication
• Sets direction for a program others execute, with no direct reports, and is accountable for the outcome

Nice to have

• Ownership mentality: takes initiative and works in the trenches with key stakeholders
• Varies the degree of detail to the audience and the moment
• Experience running a weekly holistic program review
• Experience taking a physical product from pilot to commercial deployment with real readiness gates and launch dates
• Experience working alongside a safety or systems-engineering function on go/no-go decisions
• Experience with OEM or supplier delivery schedules as a dependency in a commercial plan
• Zero-to-one program experience at an early-stage or scaling company
• Direct experience in autonomous trucking, freight or AV commercialization
• Experience working with operations and/or commercial teams

Benefits

• Competitive compensation and equity awards
• Annual performance bonus
• Medical, Dental and Vision coverage (full-time employees)
• Unlimited vacation
• Flexible hours and work-from-home support
• Daily drinks, snacks and catered meals when in office
• Regularly scheduled team building activities and social events on-site, off-site and virtual
