About the Role
The Deployment Logistics Coordinator is a tactical project manager responsible for driving successful dock deployments across an assigned region or “book of business".

- Coordinate across Deployment Engineers, Manufacturing, Solution Engineers, Support, Training, partners, and customers to keep projects on track.
- Serve as the central point of contact for deployment logistics, status updates, and scheduling.
- Ensure site readiness, communicate requirements, and drive follow-through on customer or partner action items.
- Maintain accurate project data in Salesforce and other systems of record, while providing regular updates and surfacing risks early.
- Capture deployment checklists, documentation, and photos for revenue recognition, and ensure smooth handoff to account/support teams.
- Identify process bottlenecks, recurring blockers, or field insights and share them to improve deployment playbooks and SOPs.
- Contribute to defining and refining deployment workflows as the role and organization evolve.
What Makes You a Good Fit
- 4+ years in project coordination, field operations, or technical customer delivery (experience with drones, IoT, or field technology a plus).
- Strong organizational skills, attention to detail, and follow-through.
- Excellent communicator who can drive accountability across multiple teams.
- Comfort with field logistics, troubleshooting, and basic technical concepts (power, conduit, networking).
- Proficiency with Salesforce, Google Sheets, Slack, or similar tools.
- Ability to travel 25–30%, with flexibility for periods of increased travel based on customer needs.
- Bonus: Experience with public safety agencies or utilities, and/or FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot Certificate.
