Project Operations Manager

Company Description SenseNet Inc. is a regional wildfire risk resilience intelligence company focused on strengthening operational certainty and decision advantage for municipalities, emergency responders, and critical infrastructure operators in wildfire-prone regions. The company delivers a multi-layer wildfire intelligence ecosystem across the full wildfire lifecycle, from proactive risk awareness and ultra-early ignition detection to enhanced situational awareness and post-incident analysis. Using AI-powered monitoring stations, satellite-based fire risk mapping, and ground sensing networks, SenseNet reduces blind spots and uncertainty in the first critical minutes of ignition. Rather than selling devices, SenseNet operates as an infrastructure-level capability integrated into existing emergency response workflows to strengthen risk awareness, detection, operational confidence, and regional insight. The organization is committed to supporting community resilience and informed resource deployment for leadership and local councils.

The Project Operations Manager will track operational performance, maintain project documentation, and implement process improvements to enhance efficiency and service quality. This role also supports risk management, stakeholder reporting, and alignment of project activities with SenseNet’s broader strategic and operational objectives.
