Requirements

As a Development & Permitting Project Manager, you will be responsible for driving the expansion of our network - defining how autonomous aerial logistics integrates into the built environment at scale.

This role sits at the intersection of site acquisition, real estate development, land use, aviation, and regulatory strategy.

You will work closely with government affairs and legal land use to unlock jurisdictions that have never approved infrastructure like ours before.

You will partner closely with engineering and operations to solve technical and site-specific challenges and ensure projects are executable - not just approvable.

This is not a role where you build your network from scratch.

5+ years of experience in Real Estate Development, Permitting, Urban Planning, Civil Engineering, and/or Public-Private Project Development, with a track record of delivering projects from concept through approvals.

Responsibilities

Real Estate Search & Site Development:

Support site selection, feasibility, and risk assessment end-to-end, ensuring alignment with zoning, land use, and aviation constraints.

Identify risks early and drive mitigation plans across permitting, environmental, and infrastructure considerations before they impact timelines.

Partner with engineering to translate site constraints into clear design requirements and ensure permit-ready drawings.

Lead permitting efforts across multiple metros, including navigating novel regulatory pathways for drone operations.

Partner with government affairs to navigate and, where necessary, help shape regulatory approaches.
