About the position

Waymo is an autonomous driving technology company with the mission to be the world's most trusted driver. Since its start as the Google Self-Driving Car Project in 2009, Waymo has focused on building the Waymo Driver—The World's Most Experienced Driver™—to improve access to mobility while saving thousands of lives now lost to traffic crashes. The Waymo Driver powers Waymo’s fully autonomous ride-hail service and can also be applied to a range of vehicle platforms and product use cases. The Waymo Driver has provided over ten million rider-only trips, enabled by its experience autonomously driving over 100 million miles on public roads and tens of billions in simulation across 15+ U.S. states. Waymo’s Product Management Team is a mission-driven team responsible for writing and enacting first-of-their-kind playbooks to bring fully autonomous driving technology to market. Our team develops simple solutions for complex problems by orchestrating cross-functional efforts to safely drive Waymo’s technology and the products it enables forward. We do this by understanding the customer, the business, and the technology. We are humble about the scope of our work, collaborative in our approach to problem-solving, and ambitious about our vision for the future. This role follows a hybrid work schedule and reports to the Director of Product Management.

Responsibilities

  • An entrepreneurial mindset with the ability to navigate high ambiguity and pioneer new paradigms.
  • Strong cross-org leadership skills, uniquely capable of identifying collisions, mediating solutions, and inspiring both engineering and research teams.

Nice-to-haves

  • Experience driving organizational mindset shifts and large-scale, high-visibility technical initiatives that impact entire engineering organizations.
