Mining Operations Strategy Manager Jobs (NOW HIRING)

OUR MISSION

Make communities more responsive, so they are safer, healthier, and more equitable for the people who live in them.

Numina makes a hardware and software platform that uses computer vision to help urban planners and municipal governments design better (safer) streets and public places. We sense bicycle, pedestrian, and other street traffic, and convert this data into real-time intelligence - without surveillance - to enable all sorts of partners in automation, autonomy, and development in the public right-of-way. We are looking for passionate people who would like to join us as we pursue our shared vision of more responsive cities.

WHAT YOU WILL DO HERE

As Operations & Strategy Manager, you will support the CEO and executive team, running both internal- and external-facing strategic initiatives to advance business goals and optimize team operations. You are organized and able to manage multiple priorities simultaneously, iterate quickly, and maintain a professional, energetic, and motivational work environment amidst the fluctuating and challenging circumstances that a startup faces.

Strategic Initiatives

• Act as an extension of the CEO on strategic projects - to ideate, vet, research, advocate for or against, prototype, and otherwise manage any Growth or Product projects that may advance Numina's mission to make streets more walkable, bikeable, and equitable. Lead on stakeholder management, serve as a connector within the organization, and drive key projects to operational maturity.

• Prepare and occasionally deliver executive materials and presentations. Meet with external parties, alongside or instead of company leaders such as the CEO, to represent Numina's value, capabilities, product, and interests to potential and existing partners.

• Oversee internal and external communications, as needed.

• Prioritize and manage multiple projects simultaneously, proactively identifying and solving for gaps and inefficiencies.

• Work with high-priority customers to ensure successful project execution, with a focus on our work that intersects with frontline communities.

• Identify interventions, and design systems to validate and scale solutions that work.

• Advise leadership on best practices for climate technology companies to engage with frontline communities, resulting in a capstone project that can be shared internally and externally.

Operations

• Project operations - ensure that all project reporting and invoicing is streamlined as we execute against grants and other funded projects.

• Team operations - be a team & culture champion, celebrate team wins, lead all-hands meetings, and ensure Numina is upholding our values though every layer of our operations. Our values live at numina.co/our-values.

• Sales operations - learn our existing sales processes and make recommendations for further efficiencies as we scale.

WHO YOU ARE

You have 4+ years of experience, with a passion for climate justice. Ideally, you have some work experience in mobility, climate, or start ups. 

Like us, you value creativity, curiosity, and intellectual honesty, and you are committed to solving problems with us together as a team. Your desire to have a huge impact motivates you to join a small, incredibly productive team and do extraordinary things. You have the following skills and competencies:

• positive, open-minded, respectful, resilient, proactive, accountable, logical, creative, and empathetic - this goes for every Numina employee, always and forever

• able to juggle many moving parts and dynamically re-prioritize

• process-oriented, thorough, detail-oriented, deadline-driven

• able to work independently and remotely

• willing to take a deep dive into any subject we need to better understand, laser focused on understanding our customers and solving user needs

• effective in giving and receiving critical feedback. Capable of respectful and thoughtful "devil's advocacy" / dissent against prevailing company opinions

• Passion about cities and sustainability, transportation, privacy, and/or frontier technology!

Additional experience that could be helpful:

 Experience working in B2G businesses, selling to or working for government customers, or a strong background in policy or local government
