What We Do

Gecko Robotics is helping the world’s most important organizations ensure the availability, reliability, and sustainability of critical infrastructure. Gecko's complete and connected solutions combine wall-climbing robots, industry-leading sensors, and an AI-powered data platform to provide customers with a unique window into the current and future health of their physical assets. This enables real-time decision making to increase the efficiency and safety of operations, promote mission readiness, and protect the environment and civilization from the effects of infrastructure failure.

Role at a Glance

As a program manager, you’ll work across Gecko’s internal functions (People, Finance, IT, Legal, etc) to drive critical projects to completion, conduct analysis to inform leadership decisions and company direction, and help improve our internal operating model. You will oversee, plan, and execute end-to-end cross-functional initiatives on a company level, while building the methodologies and processes to support them.

On any given day, this could mean diving into recruiting and retention data, managing the roll-out of a new internal budgeting process, or overseeing the implementation of internal systems to help us better manage our people and compensation. A successful program manager is an exceptional communicator, can easily distill complexity into clarity, and exercises a high degree of ownership in all facets of their role. This is a highly cross-functional individual contributor role, and will be a critical lever for us to continue to improve Gecko’s operational excellence.

What you will do

  • Oversee and coordinate internal projects from initial concept to completion, ensuring results are delivered on time, within budget, and with the highest degree of quality
  • Analyze complex data sets, identifying actionable insights and trends that can be leveraged to drive decision-making, reduce inefficiencies, and increase business performance
  • Craft and implement strategies to reduce friction, automate processes, and enable team members to spend more time on what they do best
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams, including People, Finance, IT, and Legal to drive projects and ensure alignment across internal initiatives

Technologies We Use

  • Expert proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint (or the Google Suite equivalents), and the ability to pick up new tools and technologies with ease. SQL experience is a plus.
