Nice to Haves:

• PM Experience building cutting-edge software products in the physical world (e.g.
  in logistics, aerospace, construction) and/or in deeply scientific spaces (e.g.
  healthcare) that are data intensive

• PM experience building cutting-edge software products in the CDR or AgTech space

• You care deeply about climate change and feel a strong moral responsibility to act now.
  This extends into all facets of your life:
  both personal and professional.

What does success look like in this role?

• You ship product fast and speed up iteration cycles across the whole team making our operations more scalable, rigorous, and efficient.

• You effectively prioritize and manage expectations across conflicting priorities from different stakeholders (e.g.
  balancing scientific rigor requirements from our Science Team with ease of use by our Ground Operation Team with Technical Feasibility from our Tech Team).

• You advance our Deployment MRV Platform by balancing features that solve current problems while keeping a strategic perspective on how current features scale and address longer-term user and market needs.
