About The Position

Renesas is seeking a Web Engineering Operations Manager to help lead the operational side of our AI transformation within the Web Engineering organization. This role will focus on turning AI opportunities into structured, prioritized, and scalable engineering work while also strengthening how the team plans, coordinates, and delivers across development, QA, production, and related web workflows. This is a hands-on operations management role for someone who can bring structure to complex technical work, improve engineering operating rhythms, and help move AI from experimentation into practical, scalable delivery. The role will partner closely with the Development Manager, AI Technical Lead, Product AI Lead, QA, Production/DevOps, Product Management, and other cross-functional stakeholders. The ideal candidate combines strong program and operations leadership, excellent communication and reporting skills, and enough understanding of modern web engineering environments to work credibly with technical teams. This person will help define roadmaps, clarify priorities, manage dependencies, improve visibility, create consistent reporting, and ensure follow-through as AI-enabled work becomes an increasingly important part of the team’s core delivery model. This role will report initially to the Director of Web and Tech Docs. As the AI workstream matures and becomes more integrated into the broader engineering operating model, the scope and reporting structure may evolve. The immediate focus is not people management of the development team, but establishing the structure, visibility, and execution discipline needed for engineering and AI-enabled work to scale. Over time, this role may take on broader operational leadership responsibilities across engineering delivery, planning, and AI-enabled execution.
