About Geek+

Geek+ is a robotics and AI company specializing in AI-powered logistics solutions. Founded in Beijing in 2015, we have grown into the largest independent logistics robotics company in the world, with operations across the globe. Our North American headquarters in San Diego, California, and our innovation center in Suwanee, Georgia, drive our continued growth in the United States, Canada, and LatAm.

Life at Geek+

Plain and simple: we're a team of geeks who love technology and teamwork. We work together to meet any customer need, we celebrate our wins, and we learn from our misses. The only thing better than seeing a customer's operations improved by our technology is seeing it happen at scale. We're biased toward action, we get things done, and we think differently about how technology gets applied. We support each other and we're empowered to win. Our strength comes from our different backgrounds and perspectives.

The Role

As an Associate Project Manager at Geek+, you'll work alongside a senior Project Manager to keep AMR deployment projects running. You'll be the person who knows where every action item stands, whose deadline is slipping, and what the customer asked for on last Thursday's call. You'll own the coordination and documentation that hold a project together - schedules, meeting notes, status reports, issue logs, change requests - and you'll work directly with Solutions Engineers, Systems Engineers, and Deployment Engineers to make sure nothing falls through the cracks.

This is a role built for someone early in their career who wants to learn project management on real deployments. You'll start by supporting projects, and as you build judgment you'll take ownership of smaller projects and workstreams of your own. If you're excited about robots and rolling out complex systems, we'd like to hear from you.

What You'll Do

Project coordination

• Support senior Project Managers across the design, planning, execution, and delivery of AMR projects, helping keep work aligned to agreed specifications, budgets, and timelines
• Coordinate across cross-functional teams - solutions, systems, deployment, supply chain - so project elements come together on schedule
• Track dependencies and deadlines, flagging risks and delays early enough for the team to act on them
• Take ownership of smaller projects or defined workstreams as you gain experience

Project administration

• Maintain project schedules, task trackers, and issue logs, keeping them current as things change
• Run project meetings: build the agenda, capture minutes, log action items, and follow up until each one is closed
• Prepare status reports and dashboards for internal leadership and client stakeholders
• Maintain project documentation so it's accurate, current, and compliant with company project methodology and standards
• Support administrative logistics including purchase orders, invoice tracking, subcontractor paperwork, and site access coordination

Client and stakeholder communication

• Serve as a day-to-day point of contact for project queries, escalating to the senior Project Manager when needed
• Keep communication channels open among clients, internal teams, and subcontractors so everyone is working from the same picture
• Build strong working relationships with clients and stakeholders throughout the project lifecycle

Continuous improvement

• Capture lessons learned at project close and help fold them back into templates, checklists, and process documentation

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering, Business Management, Supply Chain, or a related field
• Strong organizational skills and the ability to track many moving pieces without dropping any
• Strong written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to work with technical teams and client stakeholders alike
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office, especially Excel and PowerPoint, and online collaboration tools
• Strong attention to detail
• A proactive, follow-through mindset - you chase down the answer rather than waiting for it

Preferred Qualifications

• Internship, co-op, or up to two years of experience in project coordination, logistics, supply chain, or a technical delivery environment
• Exposure to project management tools such as MS Project, Smartsheet, Asana, or Jira
• Familiarity with warehouse operations, logistics processes, or automation systems
• CAPM certification, or interest in pursuing PMP
