Responsibilities: • Own and scale the full operations lifecycle for robotics data collection—from onsite physical setups to distributed contractor management and post-processing annotation pipelines. • Lead a diverse team including Site Operations Leads, Strategic Project Leads, Engagement Managers, and Program Managers. • Manage large networks of independent contributors across the globe to execute high-volume data collection at scale. • Build and operationalize high-throughput, high-quality workflows across robotics programs—balancing speed, accuracy, and cost. • Collaborate closely with Robotics Field Engineers, who are technical stakeholders responsible for hardware deployment and robotics integrations. • Partner cross-functionally with Go-To-Market, Engineering, and Solutions teams to ensure successful execution of complex, customer-facing projects. • Define and own key performance indicators (KPIs), including throughput, yield, cost per hour of data, and turnaround times. • Solve operational bottlenecks and scale infrastructure to support rapid growth in customer demand and robotics deployments. • Operate with urgency and clarity—driving execution while continuously improving workflows and systems.
