Incident Response & Safety: Act as the primary escalation point for complex recovery scenarios, ensuring all field maneuvers adhere to strict high-voltage (HV) safety standards and autonomous system protocols.
Drive Operational Throughput: Optimize "last-mile" logistics by partnering with Depot Operations to streamline the arrival and staging of disabled vehicles, minimizing downtime and maximizing technician throughput.
External Stakeholder Liaison: Lead coordination with local Law Enforcement, First Responders, and Municipal DOTs to standardize how autonomous vehicles are handled during roadside incidents.
Analyze & Innovate: Use data-driven insights to identify systemic trends and bottlenecks, providing executive-ready reporting that informs fleet-wide efficiency and safety improvements.
An Experienced Leader: You have 5+ years of experience leading large-scale commercial fleet operations, vehicle recovery, or high-stakes logistics.
Technical & Safety Oriented: You possess a deep understanding of EV platforms, including high-voltage shutdown procedures and the complexities of towing heavy-battery vehicles.
Vendor Management Excellence: Experience managing complex SLAs and driving third-party accountability through data-driven performance audits.
Multi-Market Coordination: Demonstrated ability to lead distributed teams across multiple geographies in a high-velocity, 24/7 environment.
