Program Manager - Public Financing and Grants

Resonant Link accelerates electrification by Powering Fleets While They Work, integrating our fast wireless chargers into the stops that already exist during fleet operation (think pick stations for robots or loading docks for forklifts). Our world-class team has quadrupled in less than a year to power mission-critical applications for multiple Fortune 500 companies and government agencies.

As our Program Manager of Public Financing and Grants, you will map our internal roadmap to funding opportunities, build relationships with leaders at key grant-making organizations, and win and lead execution and delivery of grants. These are complex, multi-disciplinary projects that will require close collaboration with engineering and product owners. You will ensure projects are well-planned, executed efficiently, and delivered with high quality to deliver world-class wireless charging for our partners.
