About the company:

Zoox is transforming mobility-as-a-service by developing a fully autonomous, purpose-built fleet designed for AI to drive and humans to enjoy.

The Strategic Operations Analyst role is for a candidate whose foundational knowledge spans data engineering, data science, and business analysis. More so than any other role, candidates in this role are an expert in the data itself--the systems by which the data is generated, how data is transformed and aggregated into metrics, how reporting and analysis are built on top of the data, and how the resulting insights drive the business.

The Strategic Operations Analyst will support Zoox’s Supply Chain, Quality & Reliability (SCQR)) organization by identifying and analyzing complex business problems, driving improvement, and making recommendations across the organization, as well as cross-functionally, to include senior executives. The SCQR organization manages the strategy and execution of Zoox’s third-party relationships and partnerships, including the vehicle supply chain. This operations infrastructure supports the vehicle fleet, all corporate or indirect sourcing requirements, and the supplier quality function. In this role, you will have the opportunity to reach across the entire scope of the SCQR organization, identifying time-consuming internal processes and potential roadblocks and building reliable and scalable solutions to support the team’s growth. You will also be responsible for defining the scope of technical projects and overseeing execution, such as developing dashboards and other visualization tools that improve the reliability of our applicants, develop a path forward, and ensure a smooth implementation and/or change management process. A strong candidate will have experience communicating a story to executives and other business leaders, using data models and visuals while applying key learnings and concepts to improve processes.

Compensation

There are three major components to compensation for this position: salary, Amazon Restricted Stock Units (RSUs), and Zoox Stock Appreciation Rights. The salary range for this position is $142,000 to $191,000. A sign-on bonus may be offered as part of the compensation package. Compensation will vary based on geographic location and level. Leveling, as well as positioning within a level, is determined by a range of factors, including, but not limited to, a candidate's relevant years of experience, domain knowledge, and interview performance. The salary range listed in this posting is representative of the range of levels Zoox is considering for this position.

Zoox also offers a comprehensive package of benefits including paid time off (e.g. sick leave, vacation, bereavement), unpaid time off, Zoox Stock Appreciation Rights, Amazon RSUs, health insurance, long-term care insurance, long-term and short-term disability insurance, and life insurance.

Responsibilities

Through a combination of management guidance and independent initiative, conduct analyses of the Zoox supply base and partner landscape, new trends, cost structure, geographic supplier dispersion, and the market at large to identify opportunities/recommendations.

Act as a liaison between cross-functional partners of the SCQR team, including Finance, Strategy, Vehicle Development, Manufacturing Operations, and Program Management
