About the role
The Program Management Office (PMO) at Zoox is at the center of the company's efforts, responsible for driving cross-functional program planning and execution at the highest level. We partner with leaders from every corner of the company—vehicle development, software engineering, manufacturing, and operations—to deliver on the ambitious milestones that pave our path to launching a revolutionary autonomous mobility service.
We are excited to launch a new initiative to bring exceptional early-career talent into our PMO team. This is a role for those who have a history of high performance in their academic and project work and are eager to apply their skills to complex, real-world challenges. While we hire for potential and rate of learning, we are looking for individuals who have demonstrated the ability to perform at a high level, regardless of their years of experience.
As a Technical Program Manager (6-month contract), you will be given concrete, well-defined projects that will allow you to make a real impact from the start. This role is a unique opportunity to grow into a leader who can run, improve, and expand our program structures. Please note that this is an on-site role and requires working from the office five days per week.
Requirements

- A Builder's Mindset: We are impressed by candidates who have tangible experience shipping projects that work. This could be through student engineering competitions such as FSAE or developing a product out of a hackathon.
- A Knack for Collaboration: We value people who make teams work better together. We're interested in your experience adjusting how your team collaborated during a challenge, establishing a new communication routine for a club project, or any other instance where you thoughtfully improved teamwork.
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in a technical or quantitative field (e.g., Computer Science, Engineering, Math, Physics, or a related discipline).
- A demonstrated passion for learning and a high potential for growth.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and organizational skills.
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- An ability to work independently, manage projects, and show initiative.
