Offshore Lead, Marine Operations

PanthalassaPortland, OR
$180,000 - $230,000Hybrid

About The Position

Our core technology is the node, a device that produces energy in the ocean’s harshest conditions for years at a time without human maintenance or intervention. Once our nodes leave the manufacturing facility, they must be deployed, operated, and maintained safely and reliably across vast oceanic regions—all at an unprecedented scale and reduced cost. As Offshore Lead, you will provide boots on the ground leadership for these operations. Leaders who enjoy working alongside engineering teams to perfect new operations will thrive in this role. Individuals who can cultivate a safety first culture – while still promoting innovation will be successful. If you thrive in a high-stakes, fast-paced environment and are eager to develop the next generation of offshore energy infrastructure, we want to hear from you. Our staff have worked at organizations such as SpaceX, Blue Origin, Boeing, Tesla, Apple, Virgin Orbit, Astra, Google, Amazon, Microsoft, New Relic, Bridgewater, Raytheon, Disney Imagineering, and the US Army and Air Force, as well as research universities, startups, and small companies across a range of industries. We are organized as a public benefit corporation and are backed by leading venture capital firms, private investors, philanthropic investors, and endowments. We strive to be the best team on the planet and we compensate our team accordingly.
