## About the role

Skydio builds autonomous drones. Our largest commercial customers run global logistics and site security operations, and they're moving from one-off drone flights to standing programs that run every day across dozens of sites. Getting there takes more than shipping hardware.

## What they're looking for

- 5+ years in a customer-facing program or professional services role delivering complex technical programs
- Track record running multi-phase implementations that combine hardware, software, and operational process change
- Strong project management fundamentals: planning, dependency tracking, risk management, execution tracking
- Experience standing up new technology at customer sites, including the workflow design, documentation, and training that makes it stick
- Clear writing and speaking, with equal comfort in a customer's operations meeting and an internal engineering review
- Ability to diagnose and resolve execution problems independently
