The Role
As City Manager, you will oversee operations in Miami, manage local teams, drive merchant success, and ensure fleet efficiency while maintaining accountability to KPIs.
Summary Generated by Built In

At Coco, we're reimagining last-mile delivery with a fleet of autonomous robots built for the real world. Our mission is to make delivery more accessible, reliable, and sustainable—one city at a time. We're already operating in Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, Jersey City, and Helsinki, and we’ve completed hundreds of thousands of orders for thousands of merchants. But we're just getting started.

As a City Manager, you will own Miami's Coco operation end-to-end. You'll be the face of Coco in the market—the person merchants call when something goes wrong, the person who keeps the fleet healthy and the numbers green, the person who grows our footprint block by block. This is a hands-on, physical-world operations role: you'll be out on the streets, in restaurants, and alongside your team as much as you're behind a desk. If you thrive on accountability, love managing to metrics, and know how to get the best out of a frontline workforce, you'll fit right in.

What You'll Do
  • Own city-level operations: Manage day-to-day fleet health, deployment zones, and operational uptime across all active merchant locations in Miami. You are accountable for hitting the numbers—delivery completion rate, uptime, cost per delivery—and you'll know at any given moment exactly where you stand.

  • Drive merchant success: Serve as the primary point of contact for Coco's merchant partners—onboarding new restaurants, resolving incidents, and proactively improving the delivery experience. Details matter: every missed handoff, misconfigured tablet, and unresolved complaint is your problem to own.

  • Manage the team: Hire, train, schedule, and manage local operations staff (robot technicians, coordinators, and any contract labor). Set clear expectations, hold people to them, and build a team that executes with consistency and pride.

  • Report and improve: Track city KPIs obsessively. Surface insights to central leadership, flag problems early, and drive continuous improvement across every dimension of the operation.

  • Represent Coco locally: Be a visible and trusted presence in the community—at neighborhood meetings, with local press, and with city officials.

Basic Qualifications
  • 3+ years of experience managing a hands-on, physical-world operation—think restaurant general manager, fulfillment center manager, field operations manager, or similar. You've run something where stuff actually happens in the real world, not just on a screen.

  • Proven track record managing a direct labor workforce—whether in-house or contract—including hiring, scheduling, performance management, and holding people accountable to standards.

  • Metrics-driven operating style: you set KPIs, track them rigorously, and self-motivate to do whatever it takes to hit them. You don't need to be chased for numbers; you bring them.

  • Extreme attention to detail: you notice when things aren't being done right, you build processes to prevent recurrence, and you create a culture where standards are taken seriously.

  • Strong relationship management skills—comfortable working with restaurant operators, platform partners, and city officials alike.

  • Highly organized with the ability to juggle multiple competing priorities without things falling through the cracks.

  • Willingness to work non-standard hours when the operation requires it; robot delivery doesn't stop at 5 PM.

Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience in restaurants, food delivery, autonomous vehicles, micro-mobility, logistics, or adjacent industries.

  • Experience scaling a market from early-stage to mature operations.

  • Background in account management or B2B sales, particularly with restaurant or retail partners.

  • Comfort with operational tooling (Excel/Google Sheets, Notion, Slack, data dashboards).

  • Spanish fluency a plus

What We Do

At Coco, we're on a mission to perfect last-mile delivery. We believe that the traditional on-demand delivery industry massively underserves merchants through high commission rates, poor reliability, compromised food quality, driver shortages and more – problems compounded in recent years by merchants' increasing reliance on delivery. As the largest operationalized robotic delivery company, our team is redefining the last-mile experience with a more reliable, customer-forward service option. We leverage existing teleoperation technology and innovative logistics capabilities to immediately deploy at scale, actively completing thousands of weekly deliveries for 100+ merchant partners. Hyperlocal on-demand delivery in the food, grocery, convenience and pharmacy segments is growing exponentially. In the U.S. alone, roughly 6,000,000 deliveries happen within two miles of restaurants and grocery stores each day. We believe we can create a more optimistic future of delivery that nourishes and empowers local communities by developing sustainable, affordable logistics layers in cities everywhere. Coco currently operates in Los Angeles, Austin and Houston, with plans for expansion into other major U.S. cities on the horizon.

Why Work With Us

Coco is a cohesive group of quick-moving, passionate, free-thinkers ready to disrupt the delivery industry. Across our teams, we value intense collaboration, proud ownership of goals, obsession with detail, and an emphasis on performance over politics. Join us in redefining how our communities transport local goods!
