Project Manager

Aeris is at the forefront of the "Internet of Things" (IoT) industry, building networks and applications to enable Fortune 500 clients to fundamentally improve their businesses. We believe IoT will have a profoundly positive impact on the world for generations to come. The improvements made possible through IoT—improving patient care, preserving our natural resources, eliminating vehicle fatalities, and providing power to remote parts of the world—are just now being realized.  With offices around the world, Aeris is the preeminent cellular IoT player globally powering critical projects across energy, connected vehicles, transportation, retail, healthcare and more.

Aeris provides a SaaS based connectivity management platform for mobile operators and enterprises.  It enables organizations to realize new revenue streams from a vast variety of devices while simplifying the process and reducing the cost of connecting them to benefit from economies of scale. The platform provides access to key functionality including subscription management, eSIM/eUICC management via world class APIs and operator and enterprise self-service portals.  This is built on core tenants of cloud computing and intelligence (AI/ML).  And thanks to our deep expertise and our extensive trusted partner network, we are the go-to destination for those wishing to roll-out high quality global IoT deployment.

A few things about us:

• We put our customers first. When making decisions, we always seek to do what is right for our customer first, our company second, our teams third, and individual selves last.
• We do things differently.  As a pioneer in a highly-competitive industry that is poised to reshape every sector of the global economy, we cannot fall back on old models. Rather, we must chart our own path and strive to out-innovate, out-learn, out-maneuver and out-pace the competition on the way.
• We walk the walk on diversity. We’re a brilliant and eclectic mix of ethnicities, religions, industry experiences, sexual orientations, generations and more – and that’s by design. We see diverse perspectives as a core competitive advantage.
• Integrity is essential. We believe in doing things well – and doing them right. Integrity is a core value here: you’ll see it embodied in our staff, our management approach and growing social impact work (we have a VP devoted to it).  You’ll also see it embodied in the way we manage people and our HR issues: we expect employees and managers to deal with issues directly, immediately and with the utmost respect for each other and for the Company.
