Program Manager, Process Improvement

Zoox
San Mateo, CA Full Time
POSTED ON 3/4/2025
AVAILABLE BEFORE 6/4/2025

Zoox has embarked on a highly ambitious journey to develop an autonomous mobility solution built from the ground up. As our Operations team develops and scales, so does the challenge of understanding operations data, ensuring effective communication between development and operations, and informing critical decisions to scale the organization successfully. The Process, Strategy, and Data team within Operations is focused on "how we get from here to there." As Zoox continues to grow, you will be a crucial member of the team and responsible for providing guidance on how to do that most efficiently while providing a great customer experience.

This role will design, coordinate, document, and implement large-scale operational process improvement initiatives within Fleet Operations. These are highly complex, thus requiring high judgment, autonomy, and trust with internal and external stakeholders. A successful candidate can manage and iterate an approach to identifying, assessing, and driving growth for scaling operations. The candidate must be comfortable with balancing strategic thinking with tactical, detailed execution while working independently, sorting through ambiguously defined problems, identifying and facing big challenges, and adjusting to sudden and frequent change.

In this role, you will :

  • Support process design, documentation, and improvement for operations
  • Conduct a range of data analysis for determining the best solution to a problem
  • Identify and prioritize new opportunities for efficiency within operations
  • Work cross-functionally to ensure projects are moving forward
  • Track projects and communicate progress to a larger group of stakeholders

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in Business Administration, Industrial Engineering, Operations Management, or a related field
  • Minimum of 5 years of experience in program management, operational excellence, industrial engineering, process improvement, or a related field
  • Demonstrated ability to design and execute large-scale change management strategies, and proven track record of successfully managing complex, large-scale integration projects
  • Early stage startup experience (pre-revenue or pre-product with go-to-market)
  • Experience working within operations environments
  • Excellent leadership, communication, and interpersonal skills, and the ability to influence and drive change across multiple levels of the organization
  • Prior experience developing and using data and metrics to support strategic decision-making.
  • Bonus Qualifications

  • Master's degree in a relevant discipline (Business Administration, Engineering, Computer Science, Program Management, etc.)
  • Six Sigma Certifications
  • PMP, PgMP, or similar project management certification
  • Management consulting or strategic consulting experience
  • Experience in the autonomous vehicle, ride-hail, transportation, or other relevant mobility industries
  • There are three major components to compensation for this position : salary, Amazon Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), and Zoox Stock Appreciation Rights. The salary range for this position is $120,000 to $195,000. A sign-on bonus may be offered as part of the compensation package. Compensation will vary based on geographic location and level. Leveling, as well as positioning within a level, is determined by a range of factors, including, but not limited to, a candidate's relevant years of experience, domain knowledge, and interview performance. The salary range listed in this posting is representative of the range of levels Zoox is considering for this position.

    Zoox also offers a comprehensive package of benefits including paid time off (e.g. sick leave, vacation, bereavement), unpaid time off, Zoox Stock Appreciation Rights, Amazon RSUs, health insurance, long-term care insurance, long-term and short-term disability insurance, and life insurance.
