Product Operations Manager

What the role actually is

Kodiak is hiring a product operations manager in Lancaster, Texas to connect product and engineering work with field operations. The role owns mechanisms and processes that help the autonomous trucking operation scale.

This is a field-facing product operations job rather than a desk-only product role. The person will need to understand what operators need, how engineering changes land in practice, and where better process design can make autonomous freight deployments more reliable.

What you would work on

• Build scalable product operations processes for Kodiak's Lancaster deployment hub
• Connect product and engineering teams with operations and field feedback
• Design mechanisms that help new operational workflows launch and improve
• Track issues, adoption, and process gaps that affect autonomous trucking execution
• Help turn deployment lessons into better product and operational decisions

What they are asking for

• Product operations, program, or field operations experience in a technical environment
• Ability to work closely with engineering, product, and operations teams
• Strong process design and execution skills for scaling complex work
• Comfort working full-time from Kodiak's Lancaster office

Why this one is worth a look

Autonomous vehicles need strong product operations because field reality changes the roadmap. This role is interesting because it is embedded near the operational footprint, where usability and process failures show up quickly.
