Role

Who you are

Strategic: You know the value and priority level for every product you are working on and every feature you propose - both to your customer, and to the business overall
Structured Thinker: You create structure and extract principles for the messiest systems. You surface the most crucial unanswered questions and drive to answers, leveraging an E2E Product Development Process that works for the team
Data-Driven: You can extract important insights from whatever data is available, even if it is sparse or imperfect. You highlight valuable data we don’t have and how to collect it
Customer-Driven: You develop deep empathy for your customer, fully internalize their needs, and have a strong intuition about the best ways to meet them
Technically Fluent: You have experience building tools with engineers and can be the technical representative in conversations without engineers
Trusted Partner: You know what is blocking your engineers, and how you can make their lives easier. Engineers instinctively turn to you for guidance and clarity
Self-Directed: You proactively sort out the most important thing to work on. You take accountability for your projects, and don’t need to be told how to execute on them
Influential Communicator: You are skilled at collecting input from, and presenting insights to both technical and non-technical audiences

What the job involves

One of the responsibilities of the Product Team is to build products that supercharge our operations to safely, efficiently, and effectively power our Autonomous Vehicles
As a Product Manager on the team, you will be responsible for driving high-impact initiatives, working closely with Operations, Design, Engineering, Strategy, Business Development, and Legal
Empathize with users. You are focused on the users, and invest the time to deeply understand their various workflows. Hands-on learning - rolling up your sleeves and giving it a try yourself - energizes you
Inform roadmap. You know what it takes to operate a safe and efficient commercial service. Given your vision of the big picture, you prioritize and define the products needed to make it a reality
Build tools to scale. You lead the team to define, design, and develop innovative solutions that give our Operations Team “superpowers”. Your step-change products directly influence the number of operators we need to operate each vehicle
Be a force multiplier. You define and communicate product goals, requirements, and constraints. You surface problems and dig-in to fully understand the root cause. You source and synthesize feedback from internal experts and experiments, which is then incorporated in the solution. You define success, measure progress, and have creative tactics to push the pace

Our take

Nuro offers custom-built autonomous vehicles for the delivery of physical goods, rather than people. Its vehicles have a distinctive, futuristic, design that has not only made the vehicles noticeable from a marketing point of view, but, has also made its vehicles stand out to other road users, improving safety.

Nuro is an exciting addition to the autonomous vehicle landscape. Without a passenger inside the vehicle, it has been able to sidestep some of the safety issues that have plagued other autonomous vehicle brands. Additionally, the company has landed several high-profile partners, including Uber, Walmart, Chipotle, and Kroger.

With home deliveries at an all-time high, many companies are looking for ways to get goods to customers’ homes as fast as possible. Low-cost, efficient services such as Nuro's offering are becoming increasingly attractive. Following Series E funding in 2025, the company is focusing on growing new commercial partnerships and scaling its technology.
