AuditingCustomer SupportLeadership

About the role

You are the critical link between our autonomous vehicle (AV) technology and the market, responsible for turning early-stage deployments into scalable, profitable services.
Grounded in operational reality, your mandate is twofold: flawlessly execute market entry and actively harvest insights from real-world deployments to translate market needs back to our product and development teams.
You ensure our near-term commercial growth is directly fueled by an exceptional, customer-obsessed AV experience.

Responsibilities

Go-to-Market (GTM) Product Execution: Drive the operational rollout for new AV markets, segments, and service over the next 12 to 36 months, transitioning programs from pilot phases to active fleet scale.
Commercial Modeling & Path to Profitability: Build, test, and iterate commercial models based on ground-truth deployment data. Focus relentlessly on improving unit economics, ridership/utilization rates, and customer acquisition costs.
Commercial Product Readiness: Work cross functionally to establish a clear point-of-view of Motional's robotaxi product, working closely with product leaders, the Executive Leadership team and technical program leaders to support commercial growth through feedback and product development while influencing our 3+ years strategy
Requirement Translation: Translate these real-world commercial and customer insights into clear, prioritized development needs for Product and Engineering teams, ensuring our technology roadmap directly supports commercial growth.
Program Coordination: Partner tightly with Program Management, Corporate Strategy and Technical Program teams to ensure commercial market readiness perfectly aligns with engineering delivery timelines and software/hardware updates over the next 3 years.
Deployment Operations: Bridge the gap between commercial planning and the street. Lead cross-functional launch task forces (Operations, Fleet Management, Marketing, Legal) to successfully deploy new commercial services.
Targeted Strategic Initiatives: Lead high impact, short-to-medium term projects and strategy frameworks that improve commercial success of the Motional service
Playbook Creation: Develop highly repeatable, scalable commercial playbooks that allow the organization to launch in new cities or integrate with new partners faster and more efficiently.
Value Proposition Design: Translate deeply technical AV capabilities into clear, compelling commercial value propositions for both B2B partners and B2C end-users.
Experience Auditing: Act as the relentless advocate for the end-user. Ensure the AV experience-from app engagement to the ride itself to customer support-is safe, intuitive, and commercially viable.

Requirements

Execution Focus: A proven track record of managing 1-to-3-year roadmaps, anticipating operational bottlenecks, and proactively implementing solutions to keep growth on track.

Nice to have

5+ years in commercial operations, strategy, GTM execution or product development, or growth roles-ideally within autonomous vehicles, mobility, deep tech, or scaling complex hardware/software ecosystems.
