Operations Coordinator, Expansions
At Serve Robotics, we’re reimagining how things move in cities. Our personable sidewalk robot is our vision for the future. It’s designed to take deliveries away from congested streets, make deliveries available to more people, and benefit local businesses.
The Serve fleet has been delighting merchants, customers, and pedestrians along the way in Los Angeles while doing commercial deliveries. We’re looking for talented individuals who will grow robotic deliveries from surprising novelty to efficient ubiquity.
We are tech industry veterans in software, hardware, and design who are pooling our skills to build the future we want to live in. We are solving real-world problems leveraging robotics, machine learning and computer vision, among other disciplines, with a mindful eye towards the end-to-end user experience. Our team is agile, diverse, and driven. We believe that the best way to solve complicated dynamic problems is collaboratively and respectfully.
This role supports end-to-end market launches, driving cross-team coordination, vendor and logistics management, and clear communication with local on-the-ground teams. The role also maintains documentation and project management tools to ensure alignment. Responsibilities span pre-launch planning through post-launch neighborhood expansion, helping ensure launches are executed smoothly and efficiently.
