• Proven ability to create structure and clarity in ambiguous, fast-paced environments

• Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple complex workstreams simultaneously

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, both synchronous and asynchronous

• Demonstrated ability to lead through influence across diverse teams

• Ability to remain calm, structured, and effective under pressure, including with executive stakeholders

• Strong ability to understand and communicate complex technical concepts

• Systems-thinking mindset with strong problem-solving capabilities

• Willingness to work early hours as needed to collaborate with teams in London

Bonus Qualifications

• Experience in robotics, autonomous systems, or advanced hardware companies

• Experience working in speed-focused startup environments

• Experience with end-to-end lifecycle including integration

• Experience working with globally distributed teams

• Exposure to manufacturing, supply chain, or production ramp environments

What We Offer

• Comprehensive health coverage for US‑based employees, including fully paid medical, dental, and vision insurance, with virtual care and employee assistance resources.
