# Staff Program Manager, Teleoperations

Our Mission Expand human ambition in the physical world. Critical infrastructure is constrained by labor shortages, hazardous working conditions, and operational complexity. Watney builds and deploys autonomous robotic systems that increase the speed and capacity of buildout, starting with data centers. About the Role The Staff Program Manager, Teleoperations owns the robot pilot program at Watney: how new pilots get on the floor, how they get better once they're there, and the KPI framework and feedback loop that connects the two. This program runs today: a 2,000+ pilot floor already supports robots working live customer deployments. You'll partner with our pilots, our Southeast Asia leadership team, and our ML researchers to keep the program moving as fast as the robots need it to. We're looking for someone with strong critical thinking, clear communication, and experience running a large distributed center of excellence program from the ground up - comfortable with messy real-world data, short-notice global travel, and late-night performance analysis when the program calls for it. What You’ll Do Own the pilot program: tryouts, training cohorts, and the performance work that turn
