Sr Product Manager, Assisted Autonomy

Kodiak is seeking a highly skilled and intrapreneurial Senior Product Manager to drive the development of our Assisted Autonomy (AA) solution. AA allows a human to remotely control a truck in certain low-speed and clearly-defined scenarios that benefit from human involvement. AA is part of the functionality of Kodiak's autonomous solution, the Kodiak Driver.

This is an Individual Contributor (IC) PM role that requires end-to-end product ownership of Assisted Autonomy at Kodiak. You will be responsible for assessing and tracking the market, listening to customers, analyzing data, and evaluating Kodiak’s capabilities to unify a cross-functional team behind a cohesive product vision and strategy. Because this role involves both software and hardware, it requires a unique blend of technical depth, B2C UX/design sensibility, and rigorous execution.

In this role, you will:

• Product strategy & vision: Formulate and evolve the roadmap for Assisted Autonomy, balancing near-term deployment milestones with long-term scalability. Assess market trends and evaluate Kodiak's capabilities to unify cross-functional teams behind a clear AA strategy.
• Data-driven prioritization & KPIs: Establish and monitor KPIs. Use data to improve performance, while prioritizing failure modes and features to improve overall safety.
• Execution & deployment: Define and prioritize requirements with cross-functional partners. Evaluate releases for acceptance, and partner closely with Ops teams on field deployment, process optimization, and the creation of effective training materials.
• Hardware & software integration: Drive product improvements across both software interfaces (job dispatch, telestation capabilities) and physical hardware integrations.
• Stakeholder communication: Act as the central node between Engineering, Operations, Safety, Program, internal leadership, and external customers, providing clear updates on feature development, release management, and market readiness.
• Travel: Up to 25% travel required to visit Kodiak commercial deployment locations to listen to customers and gather direct operational feedback.
