Description

In this Program Manager role, you will drive end-to-end operational readiness for Last Mile new launch sites. The Launch Manager will orchestrate cross-functional launch activities and stakeholder alignment, owning the implementation of launch playbooks while ensuring operational excellence through comprehensive testing and site validation protocols.

You’ll serve as the dedicated launch liaison for site leadership teams, developing and executing customized readiness plans to guarantee successful Day 1 operations.
