## About the role

Reporting to the Operations Manager, AV Depot, the Associate Operations Manager is the second leadership layer at the Nashville AV depot.

- 5+ years of progressive experience in operational leadership, with a strong understanding of autonomous vehicle (AV) or complex fleet operational environments
- Proven track record of launching and scaling new operational sites or programs, including accountability for facilities, team performance, and operational outcomes
- Demonstrated expertise in safety management and regulatory compliance within transportation, automotive, or similar regulated industries
- Experience executing incident response and coordinating multi-vendor support in complex operational environments
- Ability to work a flexible schedule, including nights, weekends, and holidays as needed, to effectively support and lead a 24/7 AV depot operation
- Exceptional leadership in training execution and team development, with the ability to lead high-performing teams in safety-critical operations at scale
