• Marketing Execution: Support execution of the Company's marketing strategy, including local campaigns, community outreach, social media initiatives, and doorhanger distribution programs. Drive customer penetration and engagement at the neighbourhood level.
• Team Building & Leadership: Recruit, build, train, and mentor high-performing operations, commercial, and marketing teams. Foster a culture of excellence, accountability, collaboration, and customer obsession.
• Site Deployment: Collaborate with the Real Estate deployment team on site deployment projects for new drone station facilities to ensure smooth site setup and handoff to successful operational launch.
• Fleet & Resource Planning: Define drone and infrastructure needs across stations, ensuring service availability, capacity planning, and alignment with global supply and engineering. Collaborate closely with the CAO, R&D, and Engineering teams.
