Commercial Projects Associate

**Role Description and Company Culture**

We have an exciting opportunity for a Commercial Projects Associate to join our Singapore office. This role will work with our Drone Services team.

We have built a large pipeline of drone delivery opportunities across industries and geographies and are about to execute on them. We do not manufacture drones; we operate them for the benefit of our customers. We are looking for someone to help execute on these opportunities.

You will coordinate the execution of several company projects with a special focus on Singapore. You will also have the opportunity to support our business development team, helping scale Skyports’ presence around the Asia Pacific region in our target geographies.

This is an ideal role for commercially minded graduates or professionals with 1-2 years of work experience. As a fast-growing start-up, we offer considerable room for personal initiatives and scope to rapidly progress your career.

We operate in a nascent and growing industry with no clear roadmap on how to do things - you will often be working in an ambiguous environment where it is not clear how to create commercial value. Some of the things you do will be very successful and some will fail - this is fine, and we celebrate failures and success equally.

Our projects are complex, requiring careful management of internal resource and external suppliers across technology, regulation, and operations. Our projects are rapidly developing and changing. You must be comfortable with change and adapting priorities at short notice. This is not a “set and monitor” projects role that you may expect to find at a large corporate.

You will join a small, highly motivated team in a dynamic company. You will be expected to own your responsibilities and make the role your own. We are looking for people who can demonstrate initiative, creativity, problem solving abilities, attention to detail and an amazing ability to achieve results.
