DESCRIPTION

Project Kuiper is an initiative to increase global broadband access through a constellation of over 3,000 satellites in low Earth orbit (LEO). Its mission is to bring fast, affordable broadband to unserved and underserved communities around the world. Project Kuiper will help close the digital divide by delivering fast, affordable broadband to a wide range of customers, including consumers, businesses, government agencies, and other organizations operating in places without reliable connectivity.

As a Logistics Operations Manager, you will own and drive the end-to-end logistics strategy for Kuiper’s Ground Systems deployment at global scale. This role requires close collaboration with internal and external partners for both strategic planning and at the execution level. You’ll develop scalable solutions for complex logistics challenges using a multi-modal transportation strategy, leveraging warehousing solutions as needed.
Success in the role requires analytical capabilities, strong stakeholder management skills, and the ability to dive deep while maintaining a big-picture perspective. You’ll work backwards from stakeholder and business needs to develop a comprehensive logistics plan and ensure on time delivery of Ground Systems shipments.
