Job summary

Waabi, a leader in Physical AI, seeks a Senior Program Manager to own the integrated commercialization plan for trucking and related deployments. You will coordinate milestones across autonomy, operations, sales and account management, ensuring a single coordinated roadmap.

You will drive weekly cross-functional reviews, mitigate risks, and deliver executive-ready updates. Strong written/spoken communication and a track record of scaling programs are essential.

Qualifications

• 7+ years in program or product leadership in a complex technical and operational environment.
• Track record of integrating programs across teams you did not control, in a business with hardware, software, safety and operations in the loop.
• Enough technical fluency to understand why an autonomy or hardware milestone slipped and whether the recovery plan is credible, without needing to be the engineer.
• Separates facts, assumptions and risks in how you write and speak; comfortable telling senior people something they do not want to hear, early, with options.
• Builds the minimum structure that works and removes or upgrades it when it stops working.
• Executive-grade verbal and written communication; most of this role's influence happens in documents and in how a problem is framed.
• Set direction for a program others execute, with no direct reports, and being accountable for the outcome anyway.

Responsibilities

• Own the integrated commercialization roadmap for trucking and the weekly operating cadence.
• Maintain the honest picture: the critical path, the slips, the risks and the decisions needed.
• Lead the execution of key company milestones involving multiple departments.
• Run the operating cadence, including a weekly cross-functional Truck Program meeting.
• Help establish repeatable frameworks, procedures, and decision loops for fast and scalable growth.
• Produce executive-ready updates and program artifacts.
• Communicate clearly with technical, operational, commercial and executive audiences.
