## About the role

Waabi is bringing its proven autonomous driving technology from trucking to the robotaxi space, and we need a program management leader to drive the execution. You will own the roadmap for integrating the Waabi Driver into our commercial fleet, acting as the connective tissue between engineering, operations, and external partners. You will partake in shaping our go-to-market approach, drive partner strategy, and ensure we deliver a safe, scalable rider experience. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- 10+ years of technical program management experience, with a track record leading complex, cross-functional technical programs from ambiguity to delivery
- Direct experience in autonomous vehicles, robotics, or another safety-critical, deeply cross-functional environment spanning hardware, software, and safety
- Demonstrated ability to build program structure from scratch — dependency maps, risk registers, executive reporting, milestone tracking — in a fast-moving, early-stage environment
- Strong technical fluency across hardware, software, and autonomy/ML domains — able to ask the right questions and spot a false dependency without being a domain expert in any one area
- Excellent written and verbal communication, comfortable writing a crisp one-pager for an executive audience and facilitating a working-level technical review in the same week
- Proven cross-functional leadership without formal authority — you drive alignment and hold teams accountable through influence, not org-chart position
