Job Description
About DroneSeed/ Silvaseed: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.
DroneSeed has acquired and expanded Silvaseed, a 130-year old business which grows millions of trees per year, to become the largest private tree seed bank west of Colorado. The acquisition positions DroneSeed as a one-stop-shop for reforestation services including seed collection, seedling cultivation, aerial drone-based seeding, and financing with carbon credits. DroneSeed plans to further expand, doubling its capacity to address increased demand for reforestation services.
What you'll be doing:
As a Sr. Specialist, Project Management, you’ll be focused on the intake and execution of customer projects. You'll manage communication with external and internal stakeholders to understand project timelines, budgets, progress, risks, and the overall status of objectives. You’ll partner closely with internal functions such as Sales, Operations, Manufacturing, and Finance to lead the project through all stages of execution. In addition to customer project responsibilities, you’ll also own all operational workforce management (i.e. scheduling). In this capacity, you’ll be responsible for maintaining the Operations schedule. Specifically, you’ll be executing scheduling activities, analyzing availability to meet targets, ensuring operational capacity, and making overall appropriate staffing decisions.
