Keep stakeholders across Waymo informed and aligned; represent programs to senior leadership and partner with them to remove blockers
Prioritize projects across the Fleet portfolio, ensuring scope, time, and resources are defined and aligned to maximize vehicle uptime, depot turnaround efficiency, and operational scalability

You have:

Experience driving large cross-functional technical programs within Fleet Management, Workflow Automation, Operations, or Systems/Software Engineering
Strong leadership skills, and clear verbal and written communication, alongside the ability to navigate ambiguity and drive decision-making
Expertise in scaling processes, release/experimentation guardrails, and reliability practices (triage, bug burndowns, root-cause analysis) within complex, fast-growing areas

We prefer:

Experience with software program management, workflow orchestration, distributed systems, or system reliability and evaluation frameworks
Expertise within the autonomous vehicle, automotive, robotics/automation, or EV charging/energy infrastructure industries
