Head of Operations Planning and Special Projects at Bedrock Robotics in San Francisco, CA

Job description

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. S&OP Process Implementation Partner with Commercial, Finance, Supply Chain, Engineering, and Operations to build stage-appropriate S&OP processes that tee up critical business decisions, surface constraints, and evaluate alternatives. Own the monthly S&OP cycle end to end: forecast development, demand review inputs, forecast analysis, supply plan integration, pre-meeting coordination, and reporting. Forecast demand, assess whether projected supply can meet it, and define key performance metrics such as forecast accuracy and fulfillment rate. Serve as the bridge between business strategy, engineering build plans, finance, and supply chain execution. Production Planning Coordination Own phase-in / phase-out planning for new machine types, product lines, partners and sites, and hardware generations — including availability, supply constraints, retrofits, and partner transitions. Track lead times and drive alignment on critical decision timelines and order dates. Work with Operations leaders to plan labor availability, using key ratios and operational plannin
