About the role

We sit between autonomy, operations, business development, and customers, turning driverless capability into a real-world product that can be launched, sold, operated, and scaled.
This is not a traditional software PM role.

You will own high-impact commercial product workstreams end-to-end.
Near-term areas of focus may include Command Center / fleet oversight, Life of a Load (end-to-end service delivery), launch and land operations, AV hubs and customer launch sites, Waabi Services (maintenance, inspections, roadside, data offload, mission support, customer operations), partner and ecosystem integration, and pilot-to-scale playbooks.
Define the "how" behind novel autonomous trucking challenges through process mapping, operating model design, requirements definition, and cross-functional alignment.
Build structured frameworks for site readiness, service design, partner integration, customer onboarding, launch readiness, and operational scalability.
Lead cross-functional workstreams with autonomy, operations, engineering, business development, safety, legal, and external partners.
Drive workshops with internal teams and external partners, including agenda design, decision framing, progress tracking, and follow-through.
Waabi is a technology start-up building technologies to transform the way the world moves.

8+ years in product management, operations, strategy, or program leadership in a complex technical/operational environment (autonomous vehicles, trucking, freight, logistics, robotics, or other physical-AI deployment)
Track record of designing, launching, or scaling complex B2B products, services, programs, or operating models
Track record of leading cross-functional initiatives without formal authority
Experience designing operational processes, customer onboarding flows, service models, or scaled deployment playbooks
Direct experience in autonomous trucking, freight tech, or AV commercialization (vs. adjacent physical-AI domains)
Track record of owning end-to-end outcomes, not just deliverables (e.g., business unit, product line, or service area ownership).
Required

Experience with B2B enterprise customers, strategic partnerships, OEMs, or service provider ecosystems
