• Act as the central point of contact and command for all launch‑related activities ensuring seamless collaboration between Legal, Finance, Infrastructure, Operations, Safety and our key customers and vendors.
• Lead launch readiness meetings providing clear status updates, identifying risks and driving decisions.
• Proactively identify and mitigate potential risks to the launch timeline, budget and strategic objectives including regulatory hurdles, operational bottlenecks and competitive threats.
• Develop and execute clear communication plans to keep all stakeholders including the C‑suite informed of progress, risks and outcomes.
• Identify opportunities to streamline infrastructure and operations processes, tools and methodologies to improve efficiency and effectiveness.
• Develop and implement key performance indicators (KPIs) to measure market launch and other strategic program successes.
• Lead programs to define research and pilot technological roadmap to support company‑wide front‑line efficiency gains.

• 8 years of experience in program management or product management with at least 5 years leading complex go‑to‑market product launch or market expansion initiatives.
• Bachelor’s degree.
• Expertise in GTM and project management tools.
• Outstanding organizational skills with a track record of managing organizational systems.
• Growth oriented with a proven track record of scaling up products and new geographies.
• Availability and willingness to work outside of normal office hours when required by projects or operational needs.
• Expectation of 15% travel as needed to support expansion.
• Familiarity with and strong preference to use AI tools and other scrappy solutions to scale operations and solve problems without hiring headcount.
• The ability to work autonomously in a decentralised organization.
• Right to work in the United States of America.
