Zoox is marching toward commercialization of our ride-hail service and we are laying the foundation to dramatically scale our fleet operations.

You will work closely with Operations Engineering Data Science Finance and Product teams to translate operational data into clear actionable cost-reduction programs.
This role requires strong analytical rigor and program execution skills.

You should be highly self-motivated proactive and able to manage multiple analytical and cross-functional workstreams in a fast-paced environment.
In this role you will:
Analyze the current state of fleet operations to identify size and prioritize cost drivers and inefficiencies using data as the primary basis for prioritization.
Lead the operations cost control program: define the strategy and roadmap for reducing operating costs and translate it into detailed trackable improvement plans.
Build detailed plans for each cost-reduction opportunity by working with a wide range of stakeholders across Operations Engineering Data Science Finance and Product to define scope owners and timelines.
Drive individual problem statements from analysis through resolution ensuring that improvements are actually reflected in cost outcomes not just process or roadmap completion.
Identify gaps in cost visibility and build or specify tools and dashboards that give partner teams better more self-serve visibility into the problems that are impacting cost.
Develop and maintain KPIs and metrics that track cost performance program progress and the impact of completed initiatives.
Partner with Finance and Data Science to ensure cost analyses are grounded in accurate trusted data and that reported savings tie back to actuals.
Clearly communicate program status cost trends and the impact of improvements to stakeholders and leadership.
