    Operations Coordinator - Palo Alto, United States - Convectivecapital

    Default job background
    Description


    WindBorne Systems is supercharging weather models with a unique proprietary data source: constellations of next-generation smart weather balloons targeting the most critical atmospheric data.

    We then combine that unique data source with the world's most accurate

    AI weather models.

    Our long-term vision is to eliminate weather uncertainty, and in the process help humanity adapt to climate change, be that predicting hurricanes or speeding the adoption of renewables.

    The founding team of Stanford engineers was named Forbes under 30 and is backed by top investors including Khosla Ventures.

    WindBorne is seeking a highly motivated and organized Operations Coordinator to ensure smooth operations of our global network of weather balloon launch sites.

    This role will coordinate across both internal and external teams, while being a key pivot point in achieving our goals of collecting atmospheric data to improve forecasting.

    This person should be a stickler for detail, always looking two steps ahead, and excited to help continuously improve the people and systems around them.

    A balloon + flight paths from over 600 flights conducted by WindBorne

    We're dedicated to both mitigating climate change and helping humanity adapt to its effects as fast as possible, and you can be a part of our mission to make this global societal impact.

    If you like the idea of working on cutting edge technology, and working with a fast moving team, WindBorne is the place for you.

    Responsibilities

    Planning:

    This role will be responsible for managing the balloon launch schedule to ensure that data collection goals are met.

    This is a combination of planning around weather, labor availability, and customer requests.

    Shipping and Inventory:

    You will work closely with our US and International logistics partners to ensure the timely delivery of necessary goods around the globe.

    Sitel inventory management will be a key driver in your ability to coordinate this logistical effort.

    Training:

    This role will be tasked with creating, updating, and deploying process documentation to ensure launches are completed safely and efficiently.

    Additionally, as needed, could be deployed into the field to train new launch contractors.

    Auditing:
    Ensuring that processes are followed and equipment is maintained is key to scaling our launch operations. You will be responsible for managing regular audits of both contractor launch processes and launch equipment health.

    Business Administration:
    This network of launch sites comes with many day-to-day administrative needs to ensure each runs smoothly.

    You will be responsible for ensuring all bills are paid, payroll is managed and distributed on time, and conduct performance reviews for all launch contractors.

    Skills and Qualifications


    We are seeking a candidate with a proven track record in operations management or a related field, coupled with excellent organizational and multitasking abilites.

    A bachelor's degree in a relevant field is preferred, although equivalent experience will also be considered. Strong communication and interpersonal skills are essential, along with the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.

    We are looking for someone who can quickly gain the trust of the team and be counted on to ensure that the network continues to run smoothly without needing to micromanage along the way.

    Proficiency in Google Suite and other relevant software applications is a plus.

    Most importantly, we are looking for someone who is adaptable, resourceful, and passionate about making a difference in the world through the field of atmospheric research and weather forecasting.
