Gatik, the leader in autonomous middle-mile logistics, is revolutionizing the B2B supply chain with its autonomous transportation-as-a-service (ATaaS) solution and prioritizing safe, consistent deliveries while streamlining freight movement by reducing congestion. The company focuses on short-haul, B2B logistics for Fortune 500 retailers and in 2021 launched the world's first fully driverless commercial transportation service with Walmart. Gatik's Class 3-7 autonomous trucks are commercially deployed across major markets, including Texas, Arkansas, and Ontario, Canada, driving innovation in freight transportation.
The company's proprietary Level 4 autonomous technology, Gatik Carrier™, is custom-built to transport freight safely and efficiently between pick-up and drop-off locations on the middle mile. With robust capabilities in both highway and urban environments, Gatik Carrier™ serves as an all-encompassing solution that integrates advanced software and hardware powering the fleet, facilitating effortless integration into customers' logistics operations.
About the role
The Sr. Manager, Market Operations is the market end-to-end operational leader responsible for building, operating, and scaling Gatik's market presence in an assigned region. Reporting directly to the Director, Market Operations, you serve as the primary site lead with overall accountability for local fleet performance, depot and yard logistics, fueling infrastructure/practices, safety compliance, customer SLA delivery, driver management, and third-party vendor operations.
This is a multi-faceted hybrid role bridging hands-on operational leadership with strategic regional growth. You will lead a multidisciplinary site leadership team, managing live commercial autonomous freight routes while operating in a dynamic, tech-forward R&D environment. As Gatik expands its autonomous network across North America, you will refine, test, and execute the local operating playbook—ensuring fleet reliability and uptime, efficiency, uncompromising safety, adherence and scalable market growth without a linear increase in overhead.
This role is onsite 5 days a week at our Phoenix, AZ office!
-
Depot, Freight & Yard Logistics: Oversee daily facility operations, layout optimization, yard traffic, and infrastructure safety. Direct inbound/outbound staging, route alignment, and schedules to meet customer SLAs. Manage fueling routines, schedules, and protocols while continuously optimizing vehicle turnaround times to minimize yard dwell time and maximize active route hours.
-
Fleet Maintenance & R&D Integration: Partner with the local Fleet Manager to oversee medium- and heavy-duty vehicle maintenance, major repairs, lifecycle management, and vendor relationships. Collaborate closely with AV Engineering, Hardware, and Product teams on field testing, sensor calibrations, software/hardware upgrades, and diagnostic troubleshooting. Act as the primary bridge between local technicians and central engineering to expedite return-to-service cycles.
-
Driver Workforce & Shift Leadership: Lead the recruitment, onboarding, scheduling, and performance management of safety drivers, field operators, and yard technicians. Drive shift excellence through clear handover protocols, labor/overtime management, and high accountability across all shifts. Ensure ongoing driver recertification on new AV software releases, emergency protocols, and local route hazards.
-
Safety, Compliance & Risk Management: Champion a safety-first culture by enforcing strict adherence to Gatik's Safety Management System (SMS) and PPE policies. Ensure total compliance with DOT, FMCSA, IFTA, vehicle registrations, DVIRs, HOS, and local fuel storage/permitting regulations. Direct immediate incident response, vehicle recovery operations, root-cause investigations, and regulatory reporting in coordination with Safety and Compliance leadership.
-
Market Expansion & Scalable Growth: Execute Gatik's Market Launch Playbook to set up new depots, customer hubs, and expansion routes using Leader Standard Work (LSW). Support commercial growth by evaluating route feasibility and building strong relationships with local municipal authorities, landlords, and regional partners. Continuously identify operational bottlenecks to drive efficiency and scale route volume sustainably without proportional headcount or cost growth.
What we're looking for
-
6–10+ years of operational leadership in freight logistics, depot operations, commercial fleet management, autonomous transportation, or high-velocity logistics hubs.
-
Proven track record directly managing multi-disciplinary teams (fleet, safety, customer service, field technicians, shift supervisors).
-
Deep expertise in middle-mile/last-mile freight flows, yard management systems, dock staging, and fleet fueling infrastructure.
-
Solid mechanical understanding of commercial vehicle systems (brakes, powertrains, electrical systems, PM) with comfort operating in an R&D/technology environment.
-
Hands-on experience negotiating vendor SLAs, managing regional maintenance providers, and holding suppliers accountable.
-
Hands-on operational grit with a willingness to resolve real-time field disruptions on-site at local depots.
-
Strong business acumen with the ability to link daily depot execution to commercial growth, vendor costs, and market profitability.
-
Data-driven mindset skilled at using KPIs and diagnostic metrics to identify root causes and implement lasting fixes.
-
Excellent communication and leadership presence to represent Gatik to enterprise clients, municipal officials, and local workforces.
More about Gatik
Founded in 2017 by experts in autonomous vehicle technology, Gatik has rapidly expanded its presence to Mountain View, Dallas-Fort Worth, Arkansas, and Toronto. As the first and only company to achieve fully driverless middle-mile commercial deliveries, Gatik holds a unique and defensible position in the AV industry, with a clear trajectory toward sustainable growth and profitability.
We have delivered complete, proprietary AV technology - an integration of software and hardware - to enable earlier successes for our clients in constrained Level 4 autonomy. By choosing the middle mile – with defined point-to-point delivery, we have simplified some of the more complex AV challenges, enabling us to achieve full autonomy ahead of competitors. Given extensive knowledge of Gatik's well-defined, fixed route ODDs and hybrid architecture, we are able to hyper-optimize our models with exponentially less data, establish gate-keeping mechanisms to maintain explainability, and ensure continued safety of the system for unmanned operations.

Search Operations Manager Jobs in ArizonaOperations Manager Jobs in Arizona: Frequently Asked Questions
Which companies in Arizona sponsor visas for operations managers?
Several large Arizona employers have established H-1B sponsorship histories for operations management roles. These include Intel and TSMC in the semiconductor space, Amazon and UPS in logistics and fulfillment, Banner Health and Dignity Health in healthcare operations, and major aerospace firms like Raytheon. Publicly available Department of Labor LCA disclosure data confirms sponsorship filings from these and similar employers across the state.
Which visa types are most common for operations manager roles in Arizona?
The H-1B is the most common visa for operations managers in Arizona, provided the role requires a specific bachelor's degree in a related field such as industrial engineering, supply chain management, or business operations. The L-1A is another pathway for managers transferring from an overseas office of a multinational company. TN visa status is available for Canadian and Mexican nationals in qualifying management roles under USMCA.
Which cities in Arizona have the most operations manager sponsorship jobs?
Phoenix is by far the most active city for operations manager sponsorship in Arizona, driven by its concentration of semiconductor fabrication, logistics, healthcare systems, and financial services companies. Tempe and Scottsdale host corporate headquarters and regional operations centers that generate additional openings. Tucson has a smaller but active market tied to aerospace, defense, and the University of Arizona's research and medical operations.
How to find operations manager visa sponsorship jobs in Arizona?
Migrate Mate is built specifically for this search. You can filter job listings by state and role to surface operations manager positions in Arizona where employers are open to visa sponsorship. Because Migrate Mate focuses on sponsorship-eligible roles, you avoid spending time on listings that exclude international candidates. Checking the board regularly is useful given how quickly operations management openings in Phoenix and Tucson tend to fill.
Are there state-specific factors that affect visa sponsorship for operations managers in Arizona?
Arizona's semiconductor expansion, driven by federal CHIPS Act incentives, has increased demand for operations professionals at facilities being built or expanded in the Phoenix metro area. This creates genuine hiring pressure that supports sponsorship decisions. Employers filing H-1B petitions for operations manager roles must meet Department of Labor prevailing wage requirements, which are determined by job duties, location, and experience level rather than a single statewide figure.
What is the prevailing wage for sponsored operations manager jobs in Arizona?
U.S. employers sponsoring a visa must pay at least the prevailing wage, which is what workers in the same role, area, and experience level typically earn. The Department of Labor sets this rate to make sure companies aren't hiring foreign workers simply because they'd accept lower pay than a U.S. worker. It varies by job title, location, and experience. You can look up current prevailing wage rates for any occupation and location using the OFLC Wage Search page.
