About the Role

We’re looking for an experienced and driven Operations Manager to lead our Remote Assistance (RA) operations in support of autonomous vehicle testing and deployment. You’ll oversee a team of remote operators responsible for assisting delivery robots in public road environments, ensuring high operational performance, safety, and efficiency.

This role requires a strong balance of leadership, operational rigor, and cross-functional collaboration with engineering, QA, and training teams. You’ll be responsible for resource planning, performance management, and day-to-day support of live operations. As a leader, you'll foster a culture of accountability, inclusivity, and continuous improvement while scaling systems and workflows in a fast-evolving space.

Shift: Flexibility required for working non-standard hours and weekends as needed.

You’re excited about this opportunity because you will…

• Manage and grow a team of RA operators, ensuring high standards of safety, performance, and professionalism.
• Lead daily operations and drive key performance metrics across safety, responsiveness, and uptime.
• Partner with QA, engineering, and training to identify performance gaps and drive continuous improvement initiatives.
• Ensure consistent execution of shift start-up procedures, handoffs, and daily communications across locations.
• Track and report operational metrics, identify trends, and implement scalable solutions to improve outcomes.
• Assist in coordinating staffing, scheduling, and shift coverage based on real-time operational needs.
• Champion a safety-first culture while driving accountability across team workflows.
• Serve as a key point of contact for escalations, resource allocation, and issue resolution.
• Mentor and develop team leads and operators, providing career guidance and performance feedback.

We’re excited about you because…

• You have 4+ years of experience in operations management, logistics, or AV operations
• You’ve successfully led teams in high-performance environments and are comfortable making decisions with limited guidance.
• You’re an expert in balancing people management and tactical execution
• You excel at identifying inefficiencies and implementing data-driven solutions.
• You’re skilled in tools like Jira, Slack, Google Workspace, Linux, and GitHub (bonus: AV/robotics familiarity).
• You communicate clearly across functions and levels, from operators to engineers to executives.
• You’re committed to building a safe, inclusive, and high-performing team culture.
• You thrive in a fast-paced, startup-like environment and can adapt quickly to change.
