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.

Role at a Glance

We seek a Program Manager to spearhead the execution of high-impact initiatives across marketing, public relations, design, brand, government affairs, and business development. This role will function like a chief of staff: you will be responsible for keeping the train on the tracks. Your role is both internal and external and will require a high degree of attention to detail. You will interface with both internal Gecko teams and leaders while also serving as the critical point of contact for external executives, advisors, and partners. Your ability to keep things running and handle incoming requests makes you a fundamental part of the team's success.

What you will do

  • Lead execution for a team that touches every facet of the business
  • Developing and communicating Gecko’s story across the business from how we communicate to customers to how we communicate the policymakers and everyone in between
  • Building an evaluation method to assess the effectiveness of different communication/marketing methods and suggest ways to improve
  • Help manage Gecko’s relationships with external advisors, members of the media, elected officials, supporters, and other stakeholders
  • Bring fresh eyes to our evolving brand and help us continue to refine how we’re positioned in the marketplace
  • Improve project tracking and execution across the organization

About You:

  • Exceptional communication skills: You thrive on concise communication and have a strong eye for detail and accuracy
  • Collaboration: Building strong relationships across the marketing, sales, and BD departments is key.
  • Process optimization: You don't just see inefficiencies, you fix them. You're skilled at developing and streamlining workflows, automating tasks, and implementing solutions that drive effectiveness across a cross-functional team.
  • Multitasking: You're comfortable juggling multiple projects of varying sizes and complexities, adapting quickly to changing needs, and maintaining a positive attitude under pressure.
  • Demonstrated Ownership: You consistently take initiative, proactively solve problems, and see projects through to completion with unwavering accountability.
  • Autonomous Problem Solver: You thrive in uncertainty. You are adept at navigating ambiguity, independently defining your priorities, and driving towards successful outcomes with minimal supervision.
  • Experience in marketing, public relations or government affairs.
