Head of Operations Planning and Special Projects

The posting, as Bedrock Robotics wrote it

JOIN THE TEAM BRINGING AUTONOMY TO THE BUILT WORLD

At Bedrock, we're moving AI out of the lab and onto real job sites. Our team includes veterans who helped launch Waymo, scaled Segment to a $3.2B acquisition, and grew Uber Freight to $5B in revenue. We retrofit the heavy equipment contractors already own, starting with excavators, so experienced crews can safely take on more projects and deliver more of the critical infrastructure our society needs.

In August 2026, Bedrock-equipped excavators began doing fully autonomous, paid work on live commercial job sites. We've more than doubled our customer base since 2025, and our machines now work with contractors across the South, Midwest, and Mid-Atlantic

In October 2026, we raised a $600M Series C co-led by CapitalG and Emergence Capital, bringing our total funding to nearly $1B. We're using it to put more autonomous machines to work, build the field and operations teams behind every deployment, and expand into new machine types and job-site tasks.

This is where algorithms meet steel-toed boots. You'll work alongside construction veterans and world-class engineers to solve physical-world problems that simulations can't touch. If you're ready to do meaningful work on hard problems, we'd love to have you join us.

ABOUT THE ROLE

Bedrock's technology is scaling rapidly —over the next twelve months, we will rapidly scale our machine count, partners, and sites while also adding net-new machine types and a next-generation platform.

The Head of Operations Planning & Special Projects owns aligning cross-functionally on an integrated machine plan across types, generations, product lines, partners, sites in order to develop Operational headcount and material plans; ultimately, giving the business a clear view of what's required and by when.

You'll own the integrated machine plan, scenario planning, cross-functional alignment when constraints arise, building headcount scaling factors and plans, and standing up our early Sales & Operations Planning (S&OP) process. Reporting to the VP of Operations, you'll be a critical thought partner to the VP and each Operations Lead.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

INTEGRATED PLANNING

• Own the integrated operations plan covering requirements across all product lines, machines, field headcount, and material readiness.
• Identify constraints in the plan and build scenarios that drive resolution or acceptable alternatives.
• Partner with each Operations leader to surface optimizations, risks, and constraints, and develop paths to mitigation.
• Support senior leadership and board-level decisions with clear, rigorous analysis.
• Partner with the VP of Operations to define team OKRs, the mechanisms to track them, and routine reporting on critical initiatives.
• Contribute to the long-term forecast, integrating priorities across multiple teams.
• Help align data collection needs with operational optimizations to strengthen our data pipelines.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR

REQUIRED

• 8–10 years in operations, planning, or program leadership, including 5+ years working with cross-functional teams distributed across sites or regions.
• Demonstrated ability to influence leaders — aligning cross-functional stakeholders, driving difficult decisions, and managing risk through rapid growth.
• Track record implementing S&OP or supply-and-demand processes that bring clarity to requirements, decisions, and success criteria.
• Experience planning and managing hourly / field workforce headcount.
• Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills; able to turn data into operational decisions.
• Strong written and verbal communication, including with executives.

PREFERRED

• Familiarity with autonomy, heavy machinery, and/or the construction industry.
• Experience standing up supply-and-demand review processes that clarify timelines, requirements, decisions, risks, and solutions.
• Continuous improvement, Lean, or Six Sigma experience, including standing up an improvement program.

WHY THIS ROLE MATTERS

As Bedrock scales, the hardest problems are increasingly about coordination: getting the right machines, people, and parts to the right sites at the right time. This role builds the planning backbone that lets every Operations team — and the company — make faster, better decisions with confidence.
