- That will require clear judgment, strong stakeholder management, comfort with ambiguity, and the ability to stay steady when priorities shift.

Responsibilities
- Nuro believes self-driving vehicles are the most immediate and profound opportunity for AI to drive positive change in the physical world.
- Safer streets, more time for what matters, and easier access to the world around us, that's why we're building a universal autonomy platform: self-driving for all roads and all rides.
- You will look across the full system, decide what needs to be built, improved, simplified, or retired, and drive the changes that move us forward.
- Own and evolve the system
- Partner with engineering and tooling teams to build scalable infrastructure for mapping operations
- Drive alignment across engineering, product, operations, tooling partners, and vendors through clear analysis and recommendations
- how work flows, how quality is defined, how teams collaborate, and how our tools and processes evolve.
- Identify the next operational unlock across workflow, tooling, partner coordination, policy, data, or emerging needs
- Hold partners accountable to commitments while preserving strong working relationships
Requirements
- 6+ years in program management, project management, operations, technical operations, or a related role in a software or technology environment
- Experience working close to technical or operational systems, with a track record of designing, redesigning, or scaling how work gets done
- AI-native instincts and practical experience applying AI to operational, analytical, or automation problems
- Confidence under pressure, sound judgment in ambiguity, and the ability to help others stay focused through change
- Experience in mapping, geospatial systems, autonomous vehicles, robotics, or related operational domains
- Experience with offshore, distributed, or vendor teams
- Strong stakeholder management, including the ability to push senior partners while maintaining trust
- Executive-level communication and strong data fluency, including metrics, reporting, trend analysis, and structural decision-making
- Bonus points
- Prior people management or mentorship of junior PMs, operations specialists, or labeling teams
- Demonstrated improvements to operational quality or throughput at scale
