About The Position

At Roadpost, we've spent years earning the trust of people who depend on reliable communication when it matters most — beyond cellular coverage, in the world's most remote places. That foundation gave rise to ZOLEO, our global messaging platform powered by the Iridium satellite network, built for outdoor adventurers, remote workers, and enterprise teams operating off-grid. Our impact is real — just ask the people whose lives have been saved thanks to ZOLEO rescue alerts. Now, we're raising the bar on what connectivity can do. ZOLEO is redefining what it means to stay connected beyond cellular coverage — evolving from a hardware-led satellite communicator into a duty-of-care safety platform that combines intelligent monitoring, automation, and real-time visibility. The result: confidence, accountability, and coordinated response in critical moments. This is what the future of global safety looks like, and we're building it. Come join us in this mission. As Roadpost expands its in-house hardware manufacturing capabilities, operational excellence in planning and inventory management becomes critical to delivering reliable, mission-critical products at scale.
