Job Description

Wiliot was founded by the team that invented one of the technologies at the heart of 5G. Their next vision was to develop an IoT sticker, a self-powered computing element that harvests radio frequency energy, bringing connectivity and intelligence to everyday products and packaging. This revolutionary combination of cloud and semiconductor technology is already being used by some of the world’s largest consumer, retail, food, and pharmaceutical companies to transform how products are made, distributed, sold, used, and recycled.

Our investors include SoftBank, Amazon, Alibaba, Verizon, NTT DoCoMo, Qualcomm, and PepsiCo.

As a growing startup, this role will continue to evolve, and we’re looking for team members who are comfortable building operational processes that scale with the company.

  • Manage field operations, installers, vendors, and site readiness 
  • Coordinate cross-functional teams (Engineering, Product, Sales, Customer Success) 
  • Act as the operational point of contact for customers during deployments 
  • Identify and mitigate risks, ensuring on-time delivery and high-quality execution 
  • Own logistics and onsite readiness for pilots, deployments, and rollouts 
  • Build scalable processes, templates, and best practices for deployment operations 

REQUIREMENTS

  • 5+ years in operations, program management, deployment, or delivery roles 
  • Proven experience managing complex, cross-functional projects 
  • Strong organizational and execution skills with attention to detail 
  • Experience working with field operations or external vendors 
  • Excellent communication and stakeholder management skills 
  • Ability to thrive in fast-paced, dynamic startup environments
