With a safety-first mindset, the Fleet Operations team maximizes fleet availability and utilization for our customers, as we build towards a scalable mobility service for Zoox. The Project Manager, L3 Training, would be responsible for maintaining the integrity of the vehicle operator training program and coordinating resources in the Bay Area to ensure training progression and consistency for our Level 3 autonomous team.

Tasks include, but are not limited to, project oversight and amendment, creation of new training curriculum, resource planning, and allocation metric tracking, reporting, occasional teaching, and overall risk mitigation.

An ideal candidate is self-motivated, detail-oriented, embraces a positive attitude, remains calm in a fast-paced and ever-changing environment, works well cross-functionally, and can develop creative solutions in dynamic and resource-constrained environments. Longer term, we see this role growing into higher levels of ownership, including a path to being a Program Manager leading the entire L3 training program.
