-
Escalating technical, resource and compliance risks across the product teams with mitigation plans.
-
Engaging with internal teams to root cause workflow/tooling bottlenecks to direct problems to the appropriate engineering teams for resolution.
-
Work collaboratively with other technical product managers and technical leads to understand the sophisticated self-driving problems we are solving, and to break down these problems into a solution with prioritized technical requirements.
What we need to see:
-
Driven, hands on, leader with strong skills in communication, influencing, and multi-functional team building across time zones.
-
Creative problem solver who can handle ambiguous situations, reach consensus, and make decisions.
-
Execution focus, with experience bringing new and innovative products and technologies into reality.
-

-
Experience in a fast-paced AI company or Autonomous Vehicle company.
-
Showing you always strive to learn new things, are motivated to tackle hard problems, and that you care about the end product.
-
Ability to support software engineers on a technical level.
