About the role
E-commerce got real-time data infrastructure decades ago. Physical stores still have not. RADAR is changing that. RADAR is building the data infrastructure layer for the physical world, starting with retail. Our hardware-enabled SaaS platform uses proprietary overhead sensors, software, and AI-powered analytics to locate every product in a store, continuously, down to the fixture. We are deployed across 1,400+ stores with retailers including American Eagle Outfitters and Old Navy, processing tens of billions of real-world events every day, delivering 99%+ accuracy in complex, noisy environments - at fleet scale. RADAR is one of the best-funded companies in retail technology, backed by a recent Series B financing at a $1 billion valuation. Inventory accuracy is only the beginning. We believe RADAR can become foundational infrastructure for the physical economy, powering new AI-driven commerce experiences across retail and beyond. Join us if you want to work on a large, unsolved, technically challenging problem with an ambitious team building category-defining technology. OUR VALUES Mission-Driven: We're transforming retail with cutting-edge technology and building something that truly matters. Collaborative Team: We thrive on curiosity, shared goals, and solving complex problems together. High Impact: You'll make meaningful contributions from day one and help shape the future of our product and company. Clear Communication: We value honesty, humility, and respectful dialogue-everyone's voice matters. Balanced Lives: We work hard, but not at the expense of well-being. We respect time, boundaries, and life outside of work. Diverse Perspectives: We believe better ideas come from diverse backgrounds, experiences, and viewpoints. Empathy-Driven Design: We build with deep respect for our end users, listening closely to their feedback and needs. The Senior Specialist, Program Management (Deployment Operations) owns the planning and execution backbone of RADAR's fleet deployment program - from scheduling and resource allocation through financial oversight and cross-functional coordination. This role requires a systems-oriented and process-obsessed mindset to deliver structure, repeatability, and discipline to a deployment program spanning hundreds of sites and multiple stakeholder teams. It isn't just about tracking what is happening - it's about building the frameworks and routines that make execution more predictable and cross-functional handoffs cleaner. Sitting within Deployment Operations, this role works closely with the Deployment Operations Lead, Deployment Support Manager, the Pilots and Special Projects team, Customer Experience, Store Planning, and external installation partners to ensure work is sequenced intelligently, resources are allocated efficiently, and overall program spend is managed proactively.
