Beskrivning
AirForestry is transforming forestry through an autonomous, electric, 6 meter drone harvesting system that harvests and extracts trees from the air, unlocking billions in forest value and gigatons more carbon stored in trees.
Caroline Walerud, our CEO and Co-founder, is a highly respected serial founder and deep tech entrepreneur with a strong track record and network across Europe's top investors and operators. Our team of 40 includes world leaders in forestry machine automation, aviation, safety-critical hardware and industrial scale-up.
As we continue to scale our technology and commercial operations, we need a sharp, driven individual to join us in Uppsala - someone who gets things done, moves fast, and thrives close to the action.
About the role
This is a high-performing role, not a senior one. You will work directly with our CEO and the leadership team - working across the full breadth of the business - owning what needs to get done and making sure nothing falls through.
You will work across all verticals, from structuring leadership meetings and following up on internal projects, to supporting investor relations and owning projects. Some weeks you'll be deep in a pitch deck; others you'll be coordinating an investor day or keeping board prep on track.
This role calls for sharp thinking, real bandwidth, and the kind of person who plans their own week.
Your main responsibilities:
About you
To thrive here, you're someone who picks up complex information fast, spots problems others miss, and turns that into action. You're genuinely curious and comfortable operating in ambiguity.
More specifically we are looking for:
It's a plus if you have a genuine interest in forestry, deep tech, or simply have gone unusually deep into something - anything, really.
Why AirForestry?
If you want to do meaningful work, learn from the best, and help build one of the world's most important robotics platforms - we look forward to hearing from you.
Our hiring philosophy
We will be highly selective to find the right person for this role. Interview invitations will be limited and intentional. Not being invited to an interview is not a reflection of capability. This role requires an exceptional match in mindset, experience, and working style.
We aim to move quickly on this role and hope to close before 3 July. If you're interested, we encourage you to apply as soon as possible.

- Prepare, structure, and actively participate in leadership team meetings
- Drive and support internal projects - from grant applications to business development

About you
To thrive here, you're someone who picks up complex information fast, spots problems others miss, and turns that into action. You're genuinely curious and comfortable operating in ambiguity.
More specifically we are looking for:
- 3+ years of experience from being a founder, building a scale-up, management consulting, VC, or a similarly broad and demanding environment close to leadership
- Near-native fluency in both Swedish and English - written and spoken
- Sharp, structured thinking - you don't settle for the first or most convenient explanation
- Self-direction - you set your own goals, break down complex tasks, and drive them to completion
- You operate across many workstreams at once, with the self-discipline and ability to prioritize.
- A strong academic background in any field - we believe in people who've learned how to learn.
It's a plus if you have a genuine interest in forestry, deep tech, or simply have gone unusually deep into something - anything, really.
Why AirForestry?
- Real impact: Our technology drastically improves working conditions for forest operators - and contributes to a healthier planet.

- The setup: We are office-first and based in Uppsala and you are expected to be in Uppsala most of the time.
