Associate Project Operations Manager

  • Full-time

Company Description

Outer Labs develops custom software solutions that radically reshape the way buildings are being designed, constructed, and occupied.  We bring modern human-centric design together with the latest technology to help real estate, architecture, engineering, and construction teams scale their expertise.

Our clients include globally recognized brands placing “big bets” and investing in long-term solutions to sustainability, quality, and affordability. We work closely with their leadership to craft multi-year strategies, with direct access to subject matter experts and end-users who help us continuously drive toward business value. 

Some questions we’ve tackled: How can software automatically layout a building’s structural system based on unique constraints? How can software encourage reusable solutions that can be manufactured more sustainably and efficiently? How can we help a designer explore a thousand ideas in the time it currently takes to explore one?  

Answers to these questions require a passion for design and engineering that comes from every level of our company. This is why we’ve invested deeply in building a culture that empowers its employees to do great work and directly shape the future of its products. We want smart, creative, and intentional individuals to be part of our core team. Are you in?
