Operations Manager

Location: Bay Area (deployment-facing) with travel  

ABOUT US

Buoyant Aero builds autonomous lighter-than-air aircraft. We’re transitioning from prototype shop to operating company — running daily commercial deployments in challenging real-world environments.

We’re a small, technical, fast-moving team building a new category of aerial infrastructure and media platform.

THE ROLE

You will own the operational backbone of our SF deployment and the deployments that follow.

That means:

- SOPs that exist, get followed, and improve

- Crew schedules that hold

- Spares inventories that don’t run out offshore

- Calm, professional execution even when conditions change quickly

You will be responsible for making deployments feel reliable, repeatable, and scalable.
