Technical Program Manager
Technical Programme Manager – Autonomous Ride-Hailing Deployment
About Bolt
Bolt is shaping a future where cities are built for people, not cars. What started as an ambitious project of a 19-year-old in 2013 has grown into a global mobility platform used by more than 200 million customers and 4.5 million driver and courier partners across 50 countries.
From ride-hailing and food delivery to scooters, e-bikes, and car-sharing, Bolt helps people move through cities every day. Small, autonomous teams drive this work, combining the speed and ownership of a startup with the scale of a global technology company backed by more than €1bn in funding.
And we're just getting started.
Why Join Bolt?
- Build the future of mobility and help transform how people live and move in cities.
- Tackle challenges at scale that span technology, operations, regulation, and growth.
- Take real ownership early. Small, lean teams mean your decisions matter from day one, and you'll learn fast alongside some of the best people in the industry.
- Join one of Europe’s leading technology companies, backed by world-class investors including Sequoia.
About the Role
Bolt is building a commercial L4 autonomous ride-hailing service in Europe. The programme spans multiple simultaneous workstreams—ADS technology partnerships, vehicle homologation, fleet infrastructure, regulatory approvals, and mobility platform integration—across multiple European markets, starting with Luxembourg.
This role exists because moving fast across all these workstreams simultaneously, while keeping every partner aligned, every regulatory dependency visible, and every documented commitment honoured, requires a distinct person. Your primary output is programme coherence—not slides, not strategy decks—actual forward motion, recorded, traceable, and accelerating.
The Technical Programme Manager is the connective tissue of the AV deployment programme. You’ll sit between the:
- Head of Product & Deployment
- ADS technology partners
- Vehicle OEMs
- Regulatory authorities
- Internal engineering and operations teams
