Job Description

About DroneSeed:Our mission is simple: Make reforestation scalable to mitigate the worst effects of climate change. DroneSeed is transforming a 300-million-acre global landscape deforested since the 1990s. It would take 300-years to replant this deficit with current tools. 
Our technology speeds up the process. DroneSeed uses heavy-lift drone swarms to reforest at scale after 🔥. We cut time to reforest from 3 years to 3 months. We’ve pioneered the drones and the backend required to operate swarms as a delivery solution over rough terrain. We survey sites and deliver to targeted areas of soil proprietary seed vessels that boost seed survival. Utilizing carbon credits, we double landowner investment in 18 months addressing the financial barriers to reforestation.

You are highly organized, build trust, and can manage interactions at all levels, particularly senior leadership and customers.

  • Strong analytical skills and demonstrated ability to improve processes
  • Demonstrated ability to organize, multi-task, and problem solve issues while managing competing priorities and commitments to deadlines
  • Start-up or equivalent experience in high-growth and/or fast-paced environments. 
  • Proven track record demonstrating ability to work effectively with minimal supervision 
  • Ability to quickly learn organizational structure and the objectives of the team
  • High levels of integrity and discretion
  • A terrific work ethic accompanied by an ever-positive, get-it-done attitude
