You are an organized, accountable Project Manager who enjoys owning outcomes rather than just tasks. You're comfortable managing a budget and a schedule with the same rigor you bring to a customer relationship, and you know how to get results from people who don't report to you.

You enjoy working with government and military customers, coordinating across engineering and operations teams, and being the person who's ultimately answerable for whether a project succeeds. You have:

Three years of experience as a Project Manager on government contracts (required)

Experience as a PM on either small engineering development projects or maritime operations contracts

Demonstrated ability to develop and manage project plans, schedules, staffing plans, and budgets

Experience supporting proposal efforts by scoping cost, schedule, and technical approach

Strong communication skills, with the ability to manage a customer relationship on execution matters and to task and monitor matrixed personnel across functional teams

Demonstrated a proactive, organized approach to identifying risk and keeping projects on schedule and on budget

Proficiency with Microsoft’s suite of tools (Excel, Word, PowerPoint, Project, Teams) for planning tracking, and reporting

Ability to obtain a Security Clearance

Due to export control requirements applicable to this position, we are only able to consider U.S. persons, as defined by U.S. export control laws. This includes U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents, and individuals granted asylee or refugee status

This position will require you to travel away from home and even outside the US for short periods of time; travel could consist of 25-35% for customer facing events and visits. Seasats provides a travel stipend while you're on the road, so you can expect to save money while on work trips.

In addition, it’s nice (though not essential) if you have:

PMP certification

Military experience

Ocean experience

At Seasats, we're passionate about delivering maritime robotics solutions to redefine the maritime industry. Our primary products are unmanned surface vehicles (USVs), designed to carry sensors at sea for months at a time. Our USVs provide persistent monitoring and data acquisition to defense, scientific, and commercial customers, and have autonomously crossed both the Pacific and Atlantic oceans. After thousands of years in which the only way to gather information from the ocean was to put people on a boat, these uncrewed vessels are transforming how humanity monitors and interacts with the ocean. Here, you’ll find the space and opportunity to do your life’s best work.

Along with your salary, you’ll receive perks including:

Stock options

Competitive insurance (including a 99% employer-covered Gold HMO plan or other options)

401k matching up to 4% of salary

Four free lunches per week

An employee activity fund

A pet-friendly office

Unlimited/Flex PTO

When applying, you’ll be asked to provide a resume and answer a few screening questions.

Please note that we are currently unable to sponsor employment visas, so candidates must be independently authorized to work in the United States.
