OperationsOtherProject ManagerTeam Lead

Zoox's BaseOps Fleet Support team keeps our autonomous fleet healthy, ready, and on the road. We are seeking a Program Manager to join the BaseOps Fleet Support Specialist Team and drive the changes, improvements, and processes behind fleet uptime. Working closely with Fleet Support leadership and the teams that carry out the work each day, you will turn our standards for fleet readiness, scheduling, and repair support into consistent practice at every Zoox site. You will own process change from design through implementation and adherence, and close the communication gaps between BaseOps, Logistics, Manufacturing, Engineering, and Fleet Operations.

You will also be the BaseOps lead for the systems our shops run on, including SAP, SAP Field Service Management (FSM), and Jira, making sure our processes are built into those systems and that every site uses them consistently.

Close communication gaps: Set the cadence, channels, and escalation paths (Slack, Jira, recurring check-ins) that keep Logistics, Manufacturing, Engineering, Fleet Operations, and sites aligned on vehicle updates, configuration, and documentation
