Job Description

As Launch Manager, you will lead RIVR’s first deployments in the United States, managing every step from site planning and setup through to successful handover to local operations. You’ll operate in ambiguity and thrive in fast-moving environments, bridging technical and operational teams to turn cutting-edge robotics into reliable, real-world logistics performance.

This role combines planning, project execution, and hands-on leadership in the field. You’ll define and own the local launch plan, coordinate across internal and external stakeholders, manage budgets and KPIs, and build scalable processes that can be replicated in future markets.

This is a high-impact role for someone who loves to make things happen, someone equally comfortable interacting with local partners as troubleshooting with engineers. While our main US office is located in Austin, Texas, this role offers remote flexibility and is open to candidates based anywhere in the continental U.S., provided you are comfortable with up to 50% domestic travel.
