About this role

Ever imagined saying, “I helped launch the future of transportation”?

We’re rewriting the rules of urban mobility. At Vay, customers tap a button and a car arrives - with no one inside - powered by our world-first Remote Driving technology on real public streets.

We’re live in Las Vegas and scaling fast, powered by a strategic investment of up to $410 million from Grab. Our mission is simple: replace private car ownership with a faster, cleaner, door-to-door mobility model. If you want to build something real, visible, and genuinely transformative, you’ll feel right at home here.

What’s happening at Vay

  • First to roll out vehicles in both Europe and the USA on public roads without a human being inside & currently the 2nd largest commercial, driverless car fleet in the Western World.
  • We've partnered with Kodiak to bring remote-driving technology to autonomous trucks in the US, showcasing our ability to integrate our system into heavy-duty commercial vehicles and expand the applications of our tech across the US.
  • We’ve completed 10’s of thousands of trips so far and are busy multiplying our Las Vegas fleet just to meet demand!
  • ...And soon we’ll be expanding across the US & Europe 🚀

Vay's US commercial fleet is scaling fast and we're looking for a strategic, data-driven operations leader to own how it runs. You'll design the processes, metrics, and partnerships that keep vehicles ready at industry-leading uptime, and lead a growing team as we expand across cities. This role is weighted toward strategy and operational design rather than hands-on mechanical work, with real ownership and room to shape how the function works. If most of the below resonates and you're excited to grow into the rest, we'd love to hear from you.

What you’ll be driving

  • Define the processes, guidelines, and shift plans that keep the fleet running efficiently
  • Build the metrics and reporting that make downtime visible and actionable day to day
  • Partner with engineering to solve recurring issues at the source rather than patch them repeatedly
  • Develop the partnerships (charging operators, repair partners, OEMs, city partners) behind multi-city expansion
  • Lead and grow a team of six technicians and support engineers
  • Coordinate with Commercial Operations in Las Vegas and the production team in Europe

What are we looking for

  • A strong operations background, ideally defining and scaling how an operation runs
  • Comfort working from data to define KPIs, build reporting, and make decisions from the numbers
  • Experience building partnerships with vendors, operators, or OEMs
  • Experience leading a team, with an interest in developing people over time
  • Fleet experience is a plus, though transferable ops experience is equally welcome
  • Exposure to fast-growing or technology companies is a bonus
