Senior/Staff Program Manager, Flywheel

Are you an experienced Program Manager who thrives at the intersection of robotics, consulting, and customer success?

We’re seeking a Senior/Staff Program Manager to oversee strategic consulting engagements for major enterprise accounts across Healthcare, Logistics, and Manufacturing industries. In this role, you’ll work closely with our customers as we transform their operations on a path towards automation and robotics. You’ll partner with others across the Cobot business to ensure the success of our largest and most strategic customers, building bridges across multiple projects and client locations, weaving together the overall strategy and finding opportunities for broader expansion.

Your work will involve balancing multiple stakeholders, leading complex engagements, managing customer success, and ensuring Cobot’s Flywheel professional services team overdelivers on our ambitious objectives. You should anticipate challenges before they arise and bring solutions, not just communicating the problems. This is a high-visibility role where your ability to build trust, communicate clearly, and drive execution will directly influence the success of our largest accounts.

Join us to reimagine the future of human-robot interaction.

Collaborative Robotics is a team of innovators and builders redefining the future of human-robot interaction. We are working to realize a world where robots are a trusted extension of your surroundings. They work, adapt, and react around you. Not the other way around.

This role can be located anywhere within the Continental United States.
