Project Manager, Operations

Who we are

More efficient. More accurate. More accessible. Exol is bringing industry-leading automation to businesses of all sizes through an innovative warehouse-as-a-service model.

What we need

We are seeking a Project Manager for Operations who will play a critical role in bringing Exol’s automation solutions to life. We oversee projects from planning to system acceptance, ensuring they are delivered on time, on budget, and to the highest quality standards. Acting as the central connection point between operations and technical teams, stakeholders, and customers, we create clarity, drive accountability, and ensure each project delivers measurable value to our clients and to the business.

We are looking for a connective force — someone who speaks the language of every team involved in standing up an automated facility and can translate between them without losing fidelity. This highly visible role ensures teams remain aligned with operations, so execution stays on track, and risks are identified and managed early. Success in this role depends on crisp, proactive communication and the ability to bring together diverse groups to drive a common outcome.

What we do

Exol* is pioneering warehousing-as-a-service, offering outsourced warehousing operations, and specializing in automated warehousing solutions. Our focus is on the efficient movement of goods in cases and pallets across all sectors, such as wholesale, retail, and general merchandising.

*Exol is an independently managed joint venture between Symbotic and Softbank.

What you’ll do

• Serve as the primary operations liaison across Automation, Engineering, IT, Facilities, and Staffing throughout the facility launch lifecycle — from construction turnover through steady-state operations.
• Facilitate cross-functional meetings, providing clear and consistent updates to both internal and external stakeholders to keep projects on track.
• Develop process flows, labor models, and staffing plans that connect automation system design to operational headcount requirements.
• Lead cross-functional teams through the execution phase of the project, from early site preparation and coordination to final system acceptance, while maintaining a strong focus on project goals.
• Build readiness checklists and operational acceptance criteria that define what “ready to operate” means for each team before go-live.
• Conduct post-launch performance analysis to close the loop between design intent and actual results.
• Foster a culture built on transparency, timely decision-making, and strong partnerships across all project participants.

What you’ll need

• Bachelor’s degree in industrial engineering.
• Minimum of 5 years’ experience managing large automation, material handling, or construction projects.
• Proven experience in scheduling, scope, cost, and risk management for complex technical projects.
• Background in robotic automation, ASRS, or material handling preferred.
• Experience managing design/building, installation, and construction projects.
• Skilled at stakeholder management across clients, contractors, and engineering teams.
• Track record of delivery on time and within budget.
• Strong problem-solving under pressure and ability to implement creative solutions.
• Effective negotiator with proven ability to balance competing priorities.
• Proficient with scheduling software, earned value management, and data-driven performance tracking (Smartsheet / Jira)

Our environment

• Up to 25% travel may be required. Employees must have a valid driver’s license and the ability to drive and/or fly to client and other customer locations.
• The employee is responsible for owning a credit card and managing expenses personally to be reimbursed on a bi-weekly basis.
