Manager, Fleet Operations Training
Job description
We are hiring a Manager, Fleet Operations Training to own training for the full Fleet Operations workforce. This is not a corporate L&D role focused on leadership workshops. It is an operational training leadership job: you will run the function that certifies Crew to perform safety-critical work and keeps them current as the product, processes, and geographic footprint scale.
You will lead a distributed organization of training program managers, instructional designers, training supervisors, trainers, and coordinators, and own the systems our training operations depend on.
Zoox is building the world’s first purpose-built autonomous robotaxi.
Job responsibilities
- Set the Fleet Operations training strategy and roadmap so hiring plans, new-market launches, and vehicle/software milestones have certified people on time without compromising safety.
- Own program quality end to end: curriculum standards, assessment and certification bars, learner-reaction and performance metrics, pass-rate monitoring, and a recurring upskilling/quality calendar tied to operational…
- Scale train-the-trainer and audit delivery across current and new sites so remote operations centers and ground operations train to a single standard, with local nuance captured back into the global curriculum.
- Partner with Contingent Workforce, Workforce Management, Operations Teams, Operational Safety, Process, People/L&D, and BizApps to keep training capacity, facilities, vehicles, and content ahead of headcount.
- Run the learning platform as an operational system (Docebo, with SCORM/e-learning authoring and workforce-system integrations).
- Hire, coach, and organize a team of training PMs and people leaders. Clarify reporting lines between city/ops structures and the training function.
- Stand up training infrastructure for new sites (classrooms, courses, dedicated training vehicles, etc.) and push simulation/virtual environments where they reduce cost, risk, and time to competency while maintaining…
- Report training health to Fleet Operations leadership: capacity, time-to-competency, certification status, quality, and launch risk.
Job requirements
- 10+ years in operational training, enablement, or learning for a large operations workforce, including 3+ years leading trainers, instructional staff, or training PMs (manager of people, not only IC program management).
- Bachelor’s degree in a relevant field, or equivalent practical experience.
- Proven ownership of training for either (a) a large remote / contact-center / 24/7 operations workforce, or (b) a technical ground workforce such as maintenance and repair, field service, aviation MRO, or vehicle…
- Experience building blended programs: e-learning, live facilitation, on-the-job, and train-the-trainer at multiple sites.
- Track record matching training capacity to hiring and launch plans; comfortable with resource contention (vehicles, facilities, trainer ratios).
- Ability to work in a safety-critical, regulated, fast-changing environment and to translate procedure/product changes into training without dropping live operations.
- Excellent written and verbal communication; proven influence with senior operators, safety, workforce, and technical partners in a matrixed organization.
- Willingness to travel approximately 10-20%.
