Site Operations Manager, Robotics

Scale AI • Full-time • San Francisco, California, United States • 1d ago

Scale AI is at the forefront of enabling machine learning for advanced robotics systems. We’re looking for a hands-on Collection Space / Workplace Manager to own and optimize our physical collection spaces while driving operational excellence in our on-site workflows.

You’ll lead a small team, manage inventory and layouts, coordinate vendors, and create systems that turn physical chaos into scalable, repeatable operations — all while supporting the delivery of high-quality datasets for robotics platforms.

You will:

Plan, maintain, and evolve collection spaces and workflows
Lead a small on-site team (3–6 team members) responsible for setup, teardown, and resets
Manage inventory: tracking, storage, audits, and buy vs. dispose decisions
Coordinate with vendors to support operations and space management
Drive operational processes for data creation, quality, and delivery
Improve processes and tools; run pilots, tests, and iterate on solutions
Build reporting and feedback loops to inform leadership and cross-functional teams

Ideally you'd have:

3–5+ years in facilities, warehouse operations, workplace operations, supply chain, or related roles
Experience managing inventory, vendors, and on-site teams
Strong organizational instincts and ability to design scalable systems
Experience improving processes and running pilots or experiments
Hands-on, action-oriented mindset with a bias toward execution
Familiarity with basic EHS practices in logistics or warehouse environments
5 days in office

Nice to haves:

Undergraduate degree in Engineering, Economics, or analytics-heavy field; graduate degree preferred
Experience with SQL, Python, or Mode Notepad scripting
Consulting or supply chain/operations experience
Prior experience mentoring or managing a team or have lead a project
