About Port

Port is building the infrastructure for the future of last-mile delivery. We provide electric bikes for rental, used by couriers across London, powered by our proprietary charging station technology and a growing network of urban hubs.

The Role

We’re looking for a Launch & Infrastructure Project Manager to lead the end-to-end deployment of new hubs, manage upgrade projects for live sites, and contribute to technical R&D efforts that scale and future-proof our network globally. This is a hands-on, high-impact role for someone who thrives on coordinating operations, managing vendors, and bringing complex physical and digital systems to life.

What You'll Do

1. Hub Launch Project Management

• Own the entire lifecycle of launching new hubs — from surveys to go-live
• Coordinate electrical and internet feasibility assessments
• Manage layout planning, contractor scheduling, and equipment deliveries
• Oversee on-site installs: wiring, cages, chargers, access control, internet
• Deploy routers and ensure telemetry connectivity
• Test and sign off with stakeholders, manage hand over to operations teams

2. Projects for Live Hubs & Infrastructure Innovation

• Plan and execute infrastructure upgrades: new bike racks, fibre internet installation, electrical upgrades
• Lead technical R&D projects to improve hub efficiency and capacity
• Examples: high-density bike layouts, power capacity expansion, smarter access systems
• Investigate and test solutions like AI-enabled CCTV, environmental sensors, and energy monitoring
• Pilot and deploy advanced site technologies with internal or external collaborators
• Document findings, conduct field trials, and contribute to rollout plans

3. Documentation & Communication

• Maintain a clear, step-by-step launch tracker and prepare overall deployment plans
• Ensure smooth handoff of launched hubs to operations and maintenance teams
• Support internal process improvement and standardisation of rollout playbooks

What We’re Looking For

Must-Haves

• 4+ years of project or operations management in a physical deployment context (mobility, telecom, logistics, construction, EV infrastructure, or similar)
• Experience managing external contractors and coordinating across disciplines (electrical, network, mechanical)
• Excellent organisational skills with the ability to juggle parallel deployments and interventions
• A bias for execution and autonomy — you're the type to proactively unblock yourself

Bonus Points

• Experience leading or contributing to infrastructure-related R&D or pilot programs
• Comfort with CAD, layout planning tools, or data-driven site modelling

How You Work

• You’re operationally obsessed and love building reliable, repeatable systems
• You’re both execution-focused and curious — equally happy managing today’s rollout and imagining tomorrow’s
• You have a strong sense of ownership and take pride in delivering quality infrastructure
• You love turning chaos into clarity and creating systems that scale
• You can switch between fieldwork, warehouse visits, and laptop execution easily
• You’re resourceful, calm under pressure, and always thinking 2–3 steps ahead

What Success Looks Like

• Hubs go live on time and on budget — and stay reliable over time
• Contractors are tightly managed, and surprises are reduced
• Internal teams always know where a project stands
• The launch playbook becomes faster, smoother, and better with each iteration
• You identify smart ways to increase density, reduce power draw, or enhance safety
• Our infrastructure gets smarter, more resilient, and more efficient every quarter

Why Join Us?

You’ll be joining a team building a new kind of urban infrastructure — one that makes mobility more accessible, sustainable, and efficient. You’ll work on meaningful, tangible projects with real-world impact, and have ownership over a growing part of our operations.
