About the role

Responsibilities

  • Track and evaluate commercially available (and upcoming) air cleaning tech: review available products across standards and quality, installation, servicing and maintenance needs, and guidance for facilities managers etc.
  • Help build and maintain a living product roadmap and target product profile (TPP) for ACTs.
  • Use this knowledge to help us design indoor air quality (IAQ) pilots for prospective ACT adopters, conduct requests for proposals (RFPs) for suppliers to run these pilots, execute them, and scale capacity.
  • Support the creation of playbooks for IAQ-curious organizations to DIY their own IAQ improvement projects, and ride-along with them to better understand blockers (then conceive of and execute work to solve those blockers at scale).
  • Conduct focus groups to learn how decision-makers (facilities operators, people and finance leaders) in key segments consider IAQ investments.
  • Build relationships with manufacturers, installers, servicers, etc. in the air cleaning tech space to help us evaluate new opportunities.

Minimum Requirements

  • 7-10+ years of experience in high impact strategy and operations, special projects, or commercial roles.
  • Highly self-directed, hands-on project owner who executes directly (rather than delegating) and is eager to drive outcomes rather than manage a checklist of tasks.
  • Expert communicator (both written and verbal) who can toggle between executive-style structured reasoning, in-the-weeds details, stakeholder research and non-expert audiences.
  • Experience evaluating physical products or technologies against structured criteria, including quality, operational fit, and feasibility.
  • Experience managing pilots or proof-of-concept programs, including running RFP or vendor selection processes.
  • Experience conducting structured stakeholder interviews or focus groups and translating findings into actionable recommendations.

Preferred Qualifications

  • HVAC/MEP familiarity.
  • Experience at an organization that sells or manages physical product installations.
  • Public health or biosecurity experience.
