Torc Robotics
About the Company At Torc, we have always believed that autonomous vehicle technology will transform how we travel, move freight, and do business. A leader in autonomous driving since 2007, Torc has spent over a decade commercializing our solutions with experienced partners. Now a part of the Daimler family, we are focused solely on developing software for automated trucks to transform how the world moves freight. Join us and catapult your career with the company that helped pioneer autonomous technology, and the first AV software company with the vision to partner directly with a truck manufacturer. Meet The Team: The Technical Product Management (TPM) Team drives alignment through a technology roadmap, accelerating our corporate milestones by focusing our development teams on the most critical items on our path to a milestone. We do this through cross-functional coordination with all teams in technology: driving decisions, defining measurable acceptance criteria, and building shared accountability with stakeholders to agree on deliverables and timelines. We collaborate with other TPMs to manage dependencies to deliver corporate milestones. By rallying ourselves around a plan, TPMs will predict outcomes before they happen: unblocking dependencies in advance, managing risk proactively, and anticipating resource or staffing gaps to accomplish our goals. As our plans or goals update, TPMs leverage best practices around change management, further driving alignment, decision making, and documentation across Torc.

Additionally, you will be responsible for the planning and execution of your team’s portion of the technology roadmap, working cross functionally with stakeholders across the entire company, to provide your team the knowledge and tools needed for successful delivery. What You'll Need to Succeed: - Experience coaching and developing a team of technical product, program, or project managers - A strong track record of delivering and monitoring the execution of a successful cross-functional programs with a team - Experience working with executives and cross-functionally across technical and non-technical stakeholders - Leveraging your experience in product/program/project management to establish best practices for a department - A strong understanding of dependency, risk, and change management - Strong active listening and negotiation skills - Ability to provide clear, well-structured, and concise communications tailored to different audiences - The desire to grow your technical and program skillsets in an ever-evolving industry Bonus Points! - Experience in the Autonomous Vehicle Industry - Experience launching cross functional programs with rigorous safety needs At Torc, we’re committed to building a diverse and inclusive workplace.
