Operations and Logistics Associate

You will keep Wardstone running day to day. You’ll purchase parts and materials, receive and ship hardware, manage inventory and the facility, and handle logistics for test campaigns so engineers can stay focused on building Hailstorm, our first interceptor. You’ll report to the Head of Business Operations.

You’ll work with every team at Wardstone. If parts arrive on time, hardware reaches the test range, and the shop never runs out of supplies, you’re doing your job well.
