ABOUT THE ROLE
Cleo Robotics is seeking a Head of Production to build our production function from the ground up. This is a foundational, first-of-its-kind role responsible for transforming our current small batch builds into scalable production.

As production grows, you will transition from being the primary builder to hiring and leading a production team — shifting your focus toward oversight, process optimization, and team leadership, while remaining close enough to the hardware to guide builds, train team members, and uphold quality standards.
