Senior Manager, Driverless Operating Model

Waabi’s Commercial Product team defines and delivers the end-to-end commercial product that makes autonomous trucking deployable, scalable, and valuable to customers. We sit between autonomy, operations, sales, and customers, turning driverless capability into a real-world product that can be launched, sold, operated, and scaled.

We are hiring a commercially minded, operationally pragmatic Senior Manager to define how driverless trucking works as a scalable commercial service.

You will own the design and evolution of Waabi’s driverless operating model across the full Life of a Load, with a particular focus on our Driver-as-a-Service model, where customers own and operate their trucks while Waabi provides the autonomous Driver and supporting services.

This is a role for someone who enjoys broad ownership, navigating complex operational challenges, and getting into the details of how things actually work. You’ll help answer some of the most important questions in commercializing driverless trucking: How should the service work? What should Waabi own versus the customer? What happens when things don’t go according to plan? And how do we build a model that delivers a reliable customer experience while scaling economically?

A central part of the role is Mission Control, Waabi’s 24/7 control room that oversees driverless activity on the road. Mission Control monitors operating conditions, including weather, traffic, and road conditions, and provides remote assistance to Waabi Driver trucks in the field.

While Operations owns the day-to-day execution of Mission Control, you will own the commercial product requirements and capabilities that enable it to support safe, reliable, and scalable driverless operations. You will help shape its long-term operating architecture, including the capabilities, capacity, and systems needed as the fleet grows.

You will also define the requirements for off-nominal response: how the system, people, and supporting services work together when a load deviates from its planned execution. This includes everything from remote assistance and roadside service to vehicle recovery and first-responder interactions.

Your work will help establish the foundation for how driverless trucking operates commercially, not just for our first deployments, but for thousands of trucks operating across a national network.
