Job Description
While the new economy relies more heavily on logistics, the model doesn’t work in rural areas. Millions of people and businesses can’t access delivery or experience surcharges because vans are inefficient with low volumes, complex terrains or scattered delivery points. The situation will only worsen, as 85% of the costs are due to labour and fuel.
IONA is the next generation of local logistics providers: we take over last-mile for main providers and also run local deliveries, but swap unsuitable delivery vans for very efficient delivery drones. We help businesses reduce their costs and cut CO2 emissions while offering a better service to their customers and expanding their revenues in underserved market segments.
Tasks
The team is no longer in need of specific skill, but has great ambitions so stay around! We are always open to meet new interesting people willing to get involved in some ways: either helping out on the short-term because they believe in the project (support engineer, advisors) or just by being early-supporters and advocates.
Requirements
Depending on your experience, profiles that could help out the most are:
\- Engineers (Aerospace, Mechanical, Robotics)
\- Business (Logistics, B2G, SMEs from rural areas)
\- Local or National Politics (e.g. Councils)
Benefits
Volunteer position (support/advisor) but long-term perspectives.
The cover letter is to avoid numerous applications from people who haven't even looked at what IONA is or does. We do not require more than a few words. Just reach out explaining what you believe you could help us with and/or where your motivation comes from!
