  • Coordinate daily activities with engineering, product, technical, and fleet management teams.
  • Prepare operational reports, KPI dashboards, and performance summaries.
  • Escalate operational risks and develop mitigation plans.
  • Support customer visits, audits, and operational reviews.
  • Monitor KPIs including fleet availability, vehicle uptime, dispatch efficiency, depot productivity, and operational quality.
  • Identify process improvement opportunities that reduce downtime and improve fleet performance.
  • Develop and implement standard operating procedures for autonomous vehicle operations.
  • Support continuous improvement initiatives during robotaxi fleet scaling and commercial deployment.
  • Ensure compliance with company policies, local regulations, and operational procedures.
  • Promote a strong safety culture across all operational teams.
  • Ensure incidents are properly investigated, documented, and resolved.
  • Maintain compliance with health & safety requirements for fleet and depot operations.

Requirements

  • Minimum 5 years of experience in fleet operations, automotive operations, transportation, logistics, mobility services, or similar operational environments.
  • Previous experience leading operational or technical teams.
