Director, Product Management

Zoox was founded to make personal transportation safer, cleaner, and more enjoyable—for everyone. To achieve that goal, the team created a whole new form of transportation. Zoox provides mobility-as-a-service in dense urban environments. We handle the driving, charging, maintenance, and upgrades for our fleet of vehicles. 

We are looking for a Director of Product to lead our Product Management teams, spanning everything from new vehicle definition, to the rider experience, to our service offerings.

You will be responsible for growing and retaining talent while fostering an inclusive work environment. You will be expected to inspire and motivate the team to work together to deliver a world class product. Finally, you will need to work closely with engineering partners, executive leadership, and stakeholders to drive the business and product objectives. 

At Zoox, you’ll find a creative, collaborative environment where great ideas thrive, and where everyone is driven by the same purpose.
