We are hiring a Senior Technical Program Manager to own the Atlanta Airport (ATL) program — our flagship deployment site where our autonomous airside vehicle operates in real-world airport conditions. This is a high-accountability, high-visibility role at the center of AeroVect's most critical near-term launch.
You will work directly with our Engineering, Systems, Safety, and Operations teams to keep the ATL program on track through launch and into steady-state operations.

Define and maintain program schedules, milestones, risks, and stakeholder alignment meetings
Drive accountability across teams by identifying blockers early, managing cross-functional dependencies, and keeping execution tight through launch
Serve as the primary cross-functional liaison between Engineering and Operations leadership
Implement and maintain program governance standards — status reporting, risk escalation, and cross functional alignment
Build and maintain launch readiness frameworks to track program health ahead of critical milestones
Partner with the TPM Lead on cross-program coordination
Contribute to shared tooling, templates, and process standards across the TPM team
