At Navflex, we're pioneering the future of logistics automation through cutting‑edge AI and robotics. Our autonomous mobile robots (AMRs) are transforming the way goods are loaded and unloaded, enabling plug‑and‑play solutions that streamline operations and enhance efficiency across the global supply chain for some of the world’s most demanding warehouse environments. Our international, cross‑disciplinary team in the EU and USA pairs robust mechatronics with cutting‑edge navigation and perception to deliver safe, reliable autonomy in real‑world warehouses and yards. Join us in shaping the future of intelligent logistics.

The Role

The Technical Project Manager will help drive the planning and execution of multiple projects spanning Navflex customers, strategic partners, suppliers, and internal product development.

Reporting to the Director of Product, this role will work across Product, Engineering, Operations, and Field Deployment, typically managing 3–5 concurrent projects from initial planning through successful delivery and closeout.

This is a hands‑on execution role. You will establish clear plans, milestones, ownership, dependencies, and risk tracking across technically complex projects involving both internal teams and external organizations. You will be expected to identify issues early, drive follow‑up, expedite blockers, and keep teams aligned around commitments and deadlines.

The right candidate combines solid project‑management fundamentals with a structured problem‑solving and continuous‑improvement mindset.

Success Measures

Success in this role will be measured by:

• Consistent achievement of customer, partner, supplier, and internal project milestones

• Clear project plans with defined owners, deliverables, dependencies, and acceptance criteria

• Early identification and escalation of schedule, technical, supplier, and customer risks

• Effective management of 3–5 concurrent projects

• Reduced delays caused by unclear ownership, incomplete follow‑up, or unresolved dependencies

• Strong coordination across Product, Engineering, Field Deployment, suppliers, partners, and customers

• Clear project reporting that allows leadership to quickly understand status, risks, and decisions required

• Effective project closeout and incorporation of lessons learned into future programs

• Manage 3–5 concurrent projects, including customer deployments, supplier programs, OEM/partner initiatives, and internal product‑development projects

• Build and maintain project plans covering scope, schedule, milestones, dependencies, resources, risks, and acceptance criteria

• Translate complex technical programs into clear deliverables, owners, deadlines, and decision points

• Lead recurring project reviews across Product, Engineering, Operations, Field Deployment, suppliers, partners, and customers

• Assist with development execution using agile project management methodologies

• Track actions and ensure commitments are completed or escalated before they become schedule issues

• Maintain project risk registers and coordinate mitigation plans for technical, schedule, supplier, resource, and customer risks

• Coordinate suppliers and external partners to keep deliverables aligned with Navflex requirements and schedules

• Coordinate cross‑functional projects and follow‑up activities arising from customer deployments, ensuring technical issues, product needs, customer commitments, and dependencies are clearly owned, tracked, and driven to resolution

• Partner closely with Engineering teams to understand and track technical dependencies

• Provide clear project reporting covering progress, risks, blockers, upcoming milestones, and decisions required

• Facilitate structured problem‑solving and corrective‑action activities when projects encounter significant execution issues

• Help develop and continuously improve Navflex's project‑management processes, templates, and operating cadence

• Travel to customer, supplier, partner, and Navflex locations as required to support project execution
