Bringing back blimps. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
You will be responsible for turning Buoyant from a company that succeeds through individual effort and founder involvement into an organization that executes reliably through systems, processes, accountability, and strong managers. You will own the operating machine behind the company: deployment operations, manufacturing and supply chain, logistics, people operations, financial planning, and the systems that connect them.
What they're looking for
- Significant senior operating leadership experience
- Experience scaling a physical-world business from a small number of working operations into a substantially larger operating system
- Experience managing complex, distributed operations
- Experience with hardware, manufacturing, logistics, field operations, or another business where physical things must reliably move through the world
- Strong supply-chain and operational-optimization experience
- Experience building and managing growing teams
