About the Client & Team
  • The client is a drone delivery service scaling commercial operations across the United States. The Service Expansion team manages end-to-end launch execution of drone delivery sites from site selection through regulatory approval construction hiring and operational launch.
  • In 2026 the team is executing site launches across 27 states and 48 metros coordinated through Asana as the central schedule management system spanning 63 cross-functional teams.
  • Asana is the backbone that coordinates this execution. Every site launch flows through integrated schedules in this system making its reliability directly tied to the teams ability to hit network expansion targets.

Role Overview
  • The Project/Program Manager will serve as an Asana Subject Matter Expert and Platform Architect responsible for managing and optimizing a large-scale Asana environment supporting dozens of concurrent drone delivery site launches.
  • This is an enterprise-scale Asana environment not a small-team project management setup. The role requires someone who can understand complex program dependencies redesign an organically grown Asana workspace repair dependency networks improve automation establish governance and drive adoption across a large cross-functional organization.
Core Skills
1. Asana Large-Volume Integrated Scheduling
The candidate will manage 59 active integrated schedules spanning 63 separate teams.
Each schedule contains:
  • 175 tasks
  • 39 custom fields per task
  • Portfolios
  • Cross-project dependencies
  • Standardized templates across four site configuration types
This is an enterprise-scale scheduling environment where architectural decisions affect hundreds of users and thousands of active tasks simultaneously.
The candidate must be comfortable managing 65 schedules and making architectural decisions that maintain consistency usability and reliability at scale.

2. Program Dependencies & Schedule Network Management
The Asana environment manages T-minus countdown schedules. Each of the 59 active site launches has a schedule where every task is defined as a fixed offset from a T-0 launch date such as T-180 T-55 or T-30.
These schedules span approximately 15 cross-functional teams per site including:
  • Construction
  • Regulatory
  • Hiring
  • Supply Chain
  • Startup
  • Infrastructure
  • Safety
  • Other launch functions

Dependency Challenges
Within a single site:
Tasks have predecessor/successor relationships across teams for example:
Permits approved Construction start Equipment installation Safety audit Site handoff
These dependency chains have degraded over time. When a permit slips downstream tasks do not automatically move requiring Launch Managers to manually cascade changes across 175 tasks per site.
Across sites:
Multiple sites share constrained resources. For example:
  • Training capacity: 6 concurrent launches per week
  • Ground handlers: 160 per week maximum
Cross-project dependencies should identify resource conflicts when launch clusters overlap but these currently require manual deconfliction.
The contractor must understand multi-team milestone-driven program schedules and be capable of rebuilding dependency logic so that a delay in one activity can appropriately cascade through downstream activities.
For example:
Construction delay in Week 4 Hiring trigger in Week 10 Launch impact in Week 16
This is not generic task linking. It requires rebuilding the underlying logic of how approximately 15 teams interlock to deliver a single site launch.

  • Launch Managers who use Asana daily as hands-on schedule operators
