• Design and implement scalable, end-to-end business processes across core functions such as Supply Chain, Manufacturing, Engineering and Marketing with SAP as the core ERP system and Salesforce and 3DX as CRM and PLM platforms respectively.
• Partner closely with both technical and operational teams to ensure business processes are aligned with technology solutions and enterprise strategy.
• Lead cross-functional initiatives to improve efficiency, standardization, and operational readiness in support of Zoox’s rapid growth and evolving needs.
• Anticipate and mitigate scalability challenges by architecting solutions that reduce future rework, reimplementation, or technical debt.
• Drive stakeholder alignment and adoption of new manufacturing execution workflows, ensuring organizational readiness and change management support across all impacted teams.

Qualifications

• 10+ years of experience in manufacturing and business operations, process design, or enterprise transformation, with at least 5 years in a leadership role driving cross-functional initiatives.
• Proven track record of designing and implementing scalable, end-to-end business processes across multiple functions such as Production, Quality and Maintenance Operations.

• Exceptional communication skills and cross functional leadership between Engineering, Plant Managers and IT, with experience aligning diverse teams around shared goals and managing change at scale.
• Strategic mindset with hands-on execution ability, capable of balancing long-term planning with immediate operational needs in a high-growth environment.

Bonus Qualifications

• Experience scaling business operations in a high-growth or pre-IPO tech environment, particularly within complex or regulated industries like automotive, robotics, or manufacturing.
• Familiarity with business architecture frameworks or methodologies (e.g., Lean Six Sigma, BPMN, TOGAF) to formalize and optimize processes.
• Hands-on experience with enterprise systems like Workday, SAP, Coupa, or ServiceNow, especially in the context of process automation or system integration.
