Commercial Operations Planning
Waymo
• Own the commercial plans for the markets within your region, acting as the definitive voice and strategic driver for your territory within broader planning processes. You will partner closely with regional leadership and product teams to drive cross-functional strategy, acting with indirect ownership of the markets themselves. • Drive comprehensive planning cycles with key stakeholders, understanding every working nuance of your markets to optimize operations across all intersecting areas of planning, product, and execution. • Build and manage highly intricate models to accurately forecast, answer complex "what-if" scenarios, and extract deep operational insights that can only be gleaned through advanced planning processes. • Uplevel core planning software and methodologies, applying expertise in Anaplan and intricate spreadsheet-driven models to ensure accurate forecasting and seamless alignment with corporate financial strategy. • Lead business optimization initiatives, utilizing your strategic regional knowledge to translate chaotic hyperlocal friction—such as macroeconomic volatility, ridehailing marketplace dynamics, and infrastructure constraints—into structured business processes and decisions that ensure commercial success. • Distill complex operational narratives from regional happenings to elevate business review meetings, conducting continuous "performance bridging" to trace key metrics to their systemic root causes, and then feed those bridges and insights back into their commercial plans
