Job description

About Moove AV

At Moove AV, we’re on a mission to make the world safer by enabling autonomy in transportation. Partnering with industry leaders like Waymo, we’re redefining fleet management and driving the commercialisation of autonomous vehicles.

We’re expanding globally and seeking passionate, innovative professionals to join our journey. If you’re ready to be at the forefront of cutting-edge technology and help make mobility safer, more efficient, and accessible, we want to hear from you!

About the Role

We are seeking a highly experienced and results-oriented Program Manager to drive our geographic expansion and lead critical cross-functional initiatives. This is a unique role that sits at the intersection of operations, business strategy, and development. You will be the "quarterback" for new market launches, responsible for developing the launch playbook, aligning all cross-functional teams, and ensuring we enter new markets with speed and precision. Additionally, you will orchestrate other complex, multi-faceted programs that are essential to our company's growth.

The ideal candidate is a master of structured execution, successful at guiding and delivering complex programs on time and on budget, and having the technical and financial acumen to zoom into details while not losing sight of the big picture. You are as comfortable building a detailed go-to-market (GTM) plan as you are reading a construction blueprint or designing an organization structure.

What you’ll be doing

• Create and own the end-to-end launch process in new markets; defining scope, timelines, dependencies, and the critical path for each launch.

• 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 companywide front line efficiency gains

What you will need for this position

• 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

• Expectiation 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
