About the role

Skydio’s role focused on end-to-end commercial deployments for largest industrial customers, from pilot through scaled rollout, including dock-based remote operations, with responsibility for planning, rollout, handoff to steady-state, and ongoing improvements across hardware, software, operations, and aviation compliance.

Responsibilities

  • Own planning and execution for commercial deployments, from pilot through scaled rollout, including dock-based remote operations programs
  • Manage scope, schedule, dependencies, and risk across hardware, software, and operational workstreams - and flag the technical, regulatory, and logistical problems early, with a plan attached
  • Partner with customers to build the operational foundation: Standard Operating Procedures, Safety Management System inputs and operational controls, and maintenance and support plans matched to Skydio platforms
  • Run the handoff to steady-state operations, and confirm the customer's team is genuinely ready before you step back
  • Translate customer operational requirements into execution plans and clear internal deliverables
  • Coordinate across Mission Success, Support, Product, Engineering, and Operations
  • Keep customer expectations and Skydio's actual capabilities in the same place, including saying no when that's the honest answer
  • Support commercial expansion - early deployments, new use cases, and the groundwork for scaling them

Qualifications

  • 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
