Strategy & Operations Manager

Who we are

Picogrid is a leading venture-backed defense technology company founded to bridge the decades-long gap between modern technology and the critical demands of national security. Today, we're building the essential infrastructure to unify sensors, autonomy, and operators with our technology deployed in active operations around the world. Our mission is to deliver an operational advantage to secure the United States and its allies.

You'll work shoulder-to-shoulder with Picogrid's senior leaders — across Engineering, Finance, Operations, and People — translating the company's biggest priorities into structured, executable work, then driving that work to an outcome. One week you're building the model behind an expansion decision; the next you're standing up the operating cadence that keeps a new program on
