- Run the supplier loop: PO confirmations, promise dates, RFQs, design changes, forecasts to tiers 1-3, component pricing.
- Run physical moves: booking, importation, track-and-trace from CM to 3PL to customer, plus CM visibility feeds.
What you’ll bring
- 8+ years building operations, manufacturing or supply chain software from zero to production, owning data model and decision logic.
- Daily LLM-native development with coding agents (e.g., Claude) and method for proving model output correct (contracts, tests, evals, review).
- Track record of rapid iteration: working software in users' hands in days.

About ALSO. We’re ALSO, an electric mobility company originally conceived as a part of Rivian. We’re a passionate team of builders, dreamers, doers and innovators, focused on creating entirely new (not to mention, innovative and delightful) vertically integrated, small EVs designed to meet the global mobility challenges of today and tomorrow. Our mission is to inspire everyone to ride ALSO—replacing many local car, truck and SUV miles with ones on vehicles that are more affordable, more enjoyable and 10-50x more efficient. ALSO is becoming a manufacturer, with serialized vehicles moving from production lines to customers. The systems to manage that transition largely don’t exist yet. You’ll build ALSO’s operating system for making and moving vehicles—from CM production to the customer’s door—creating a single source of truth for planning, quality, inventory, delivery, and

Our mission is to inspire everyone to ride ALSO—replacing many local car, truck and SUV miles with ones on vehicles that are more affordable, more enjoyable and 10-50x more efficient. ALSO is becoming a manufacturer, with serialized vehicles moving from production lines to customers. The systems to manage that transition largely don’t exist yet. You’ll build ALSO’s operating system for making and moving vehicles—from CM production to the customer’s door—creating a single source of truth for planning, quality, inventory, delivery, and decision-making. Today, much of this runs on spreadsheets and tribal knowledge; you’ll turn it into scalable systems and close the loop so decisions happen within them. As the Senior Staff Deployment Strategist, Operations, you’ll help take ALSO from startup to a mature, class-leading operator. You’ll report to our Director of Enterprise Data and work closely with supply chain, manufacturing, quality, finance, and commercial teams. There are no direct reports today; you’ll lead through architecture, code, [... source excerpt omitted ...] changes, the forecast we release to tiers 1 through 3, and component pricing with effectivity. Run the physical moves: booking, importation and track-and-trace from CM to 3PL to customer, plus the visibility feed out of our CMs’ own systems. Close the quality loop: incoming and inline quality, deviations and trends, warranty tracing, and a defect traced to a supplier chargeback that lands in the financial system. Settle buy-versus-build by shipping: stand up a thin, disposable app for quality, transport and warehouse visibility, run the process instrumented, and let evidence pick the platform we buy later. Engineer the process before you automate it: instrument how the work [... source excerpt omitted ...] am that owns a process, automate it with them, and leave them able to change it themselves. Success is the owner shipping their own improvements, not filing tickets for you. What You Will Bring 8+ years building operations, manufacturing or supply chain software from zero to production, owning the data model and decision logic. Technical degree or equivalent hands-on experience. Daily LLM-native development with coding agents such as Claude, and a real method for proving model output correct: contracts, tests, evals and review.
