Join the team bringing advanced autonomy to the built world

At Bedrock, we're moving AI out of the lab and into the real world. Our team includes veterans who helped launch Waymo, scaled Segment to a $3.2B acquisition, and grew Uber Freight to $5B in revenue. Today, we're deploying autonomous systems on heavy construction equipment across the country, improving safety on job sites and accelerating schedules on critical infrastructure projects.

We're not here debating the future of AI. We're deploying it in the real world. In just two years, we've raised $350M and achieved the first fully autonomous excavator deployments in construction.

This is where algorithms meet steel-toed boots. You'll work alongside construction veterans and world-class engineers to solve physical-world problems that simulations can't touch. If you're ready to do meaningful work on hard problems, we'd love to have you join us.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are seeking a Head of Bedrock Operations Center (BOC) to build and lead the central, always-on hub that oversees our deployed autonomous machines. As the Bedrock System deployments scale across new states, new machine types, and a next-generation platform, the BOC is how we keep every machine safe, productive, and supported around the clock.

This role owns three core functions: Remote Assistance, supporting autonomous machines in real time when they need a human decision; Customer & Partner Support, the single front door for customers, partners, and field teams; and Central Operations, which provides live visibility, dispatch coordination, and incident coordination and command.

The Head of BOC owns the Operations Center's operating model, organization, tooling requirements, performance, and manpower oversight. The BOC is accountable for the safe remote operations, uptime, and responsiveness our customers experience. Reporting to the VP of Operations, this leader is a critical thought partner to Product and to Operations Leads across the company.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

Operations Center Strategy & Build-out

Define the BOC operating model, org structure, and coverage model (shifts, time zones, follow-the-sun) as the fleet scales
Build and lead the BOC leadership team and a growing workforce of shift leads and specialists
Own workforce planning and ensure adequate, qualified staffing; Partner with Product and Engineering on machines-per-operator ratios against fleet growth, product mix, and new machine types
Own the physical and technical readiness of the Operations Center, including infrastructure, redundancy, connectivity, and business continuity

Remote Assistance

Own round-the-clock remote operations for autonomous machines, including response-time SLAs, escalation protocols, and clear decision authority
Establish safety-first standards for remote interventions, remote stops, and hand-offs to on-site personnel, in partnership with Safety teams
Build training, certification, and quality-assurance programs for remote assistance operators
Analyze intervention data and partner with Autonomy Engineering to reduce interventions and improve machine autonomy over time

Customer & Partner Support

Build and lead a tiered support function (L1 / L2 / L3) with clear escalation paths into Field Operations, Service, Hardware, RA, and/ or Engineering
Define and deliver support SLAs tailored to each product line and customer commitment
Own ticketing, knowledge base, and customer communication standards; turn voice-of-customer trends into fixes
Partner with the Commercial team on customer onboarding, service commitments, and account health

Central Operations / Command & Control

Own live, fleet-wide situational awareness: machine status, health, location, and utilization across every site
Coordinate daily dispatch, service, and maintenance with Field Operations, including parts and technician routing
Serve as incident command for operational and safety events, with clear playbooks for triage, escalation, communication, and post-incident review
Own runbooks, shift hand-off standards, and change management for new sites, new machine types, and new platforms

Performance & Analytics

Define and track core BOC metrics: intervention rate and response time, resolution time, SLA attainment, fleet uptime, customer satisfaction, and cost to serve
Run operational review cadences that drive accountability and bring key insights to leadership
Lead continuous improvement through process, automation, and data, increasing the number of machines each operator can safely support

WHAT SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE

Autonomous machines get fast, safe human support whenever they need it
Customers and partners have one clear front door and consistently fast resolution
Real-time visibility into every machine and site, with incidents handled calmly and transparently
Machines-per-operator rises steadily as intervention insights drive autonomy improvements
The Operations Center scales ahead of fleet growth, new sites, and new machine types without a drop in service

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

Required

12+ years in operations leadership, including 5+ years building and leading 24/7 or mission-critical operations (command centers, remote operations, network or fleet operations, or large-scale support organizations)
Experience building an operations organization from early stage to scale, including hiring and developing managers and shift leads and managing large hourly and/or contract workforces
Track record defining and managing SLAs, escalation paths, and incident response in safety-critical or high-availability environments
Experience influencing engineering, product, and commercial leaders, driving difficult decisions, and managing risk through rapid growth
Strong analytical skills; comfortable with operational data, dashboards, and forecasting models (SQL / BI tools a plus)
Experience with workforce planning, scheduling, and shift-based operations
Excellent written and verbal communication with customers, field crews, and executives

Preferred

Experience running operations centers for autonomous vehicles, robotics, trucking, aviation, or mining
Experience leading remote assistance, teleoperation, or fleet response teams for autonomous systems
Familiarity with heavy machinery and/or the construction industry
Experience building B2B or technical support for industrial equipment or hardware products
Familiarity with fleet telemetry, monitoring and alerting, ticketing, and workforce-management tools
Experience launching operations across multiple regions or time zones
Continuous improvement / Lean / Six Sigma experience

WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS

Every autonomous machine Bedrock deploys depends on the Operations Center to keep it safe, productive, and supported. You'll build the function that lets our fleet scale with confidence, and directly shape the experience every customer and partner has with Bedrock.
