The posting, as Agility Robotics wrote it

Agility’s commercially deployed humanoids operate alongside teams in warehouses, manufacturing facilities, and distribution centers—tackling physically demanding and repetitive tasks while enabling workers to focus on higher-value work. With industry-leading safety standards and years of proven deployment data, we're pioneering a new era of automation that enhances human potential.

About Agility Robotics

Agility Robotics builds Digit, the world's first commercially available humanoid robot, designed to work safely alongside people in warehouses, manufacturing, and logistics environments. We are scaling from breakthrough engineering to repeatable, high-volume product delivery - and we need program leadership that can bring discipline, speed, and cross-functional alignment to that transition.

Position Summary

The Vice President of Strategic Program Management (SPMO) is a newly created leadership role reporting directly to the COO. This executive owns the discipline, structure, and rigor of program management across Agility's portfolio of new product development and launch programs.

This is a hands-on leadership role. You will coach and develop TPMs, intervene directly on at-risk programs, and serve as the primary conduit between engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, and commercial teams and the executive staff on program health, tradeoffs, and decisions.

• Own the portfolio-level view of all active launch programs: sequencing, resourcing, interdependencies, and tradeoffs across the product roadmap.
• Partner with engineering, supply chain, manufacturing, quality, finance, and commercial leadership to align cross-functional teams around program milestones and commitments.
• Establish and run the executive program review cadence, delivering clear, data-driven status, risk, and decision recommendations to the COO and executive staff.
• Identify at-risk programs early and drive recovery plans, escalating and resolving cross-functional blockers before they impact launch timelines.
• Develop and track program-level KPIs (schedule, cost, quality, scope) and drive continuous improvement in program predictability and execution.
• Champion change management and process maturity as Agility scales from prototype and pilot programs to
