Job Description

• Lead and scale a high-performing team of Category Managers.

You will drive alignment on the $100M+ portfolio, shifting from transactional vendor usage to strategic capability building. • Cultivate high-level relationships with key market leaders in the BPO and Engineering Services landscape. You will bridge the gap between Waymo’s internal needs and external market capabilities, establishing deep partnerships that unlock innovation and preferential access to talent. • Lead the category strategy and transformation roadmap for Waymo’s critical operations, ensuring resilience, scalability, and cost-optimization to support rapid market expansion. • Architect complex, bespoke commercial agreements for Hardware Engineering Services and technical outsourcing, introducing outcome-based models that share risk and reward with strategic partners. • Own the governance framework for Third-Party Risk in the services sector, ensuring IP protection and data security compliance across a global supplier base.

  • Experience managing a diverse portfolio that spans both highly technical (Engineering/Hardware) and highly subjective (Marketing/Consulting) categories.
  • Expert-level knowledge of complex Master Services Agreements (MSAs), including IP ownership, liability caps, and global labor compliance.
  • Ability to look 3-5 years out and design a supply base that can support exponential business growth, rather than just solving for today's needs.

Benefits

  • equity incentive plan
  • generous Company benefits program, subject to eligibility requirements
