Facilities Manager

About Alteon

The Wright Brothers gave humanity flight, Alteon exists to give humanity perpetual flight. We are building the world's highest endurance planes that can fly over the oceans for 417 days at a time.

With these, we're creating a world where you can have perpetual real time visibility across 100% of the ocean. A world where a million perpetually flying airplanes create a new layer of aerial infra that makes it possible to track the movement of every ship. Putting an end to all crime offshore from drug and human trafficking to terror attacks like 26/11, among other things.

As a company, we're driven by pushing the boundaries of what's possible – we don't like to settle for good enough. We are here to build the best technology possible, the best airplane possible, to do the best engineering possible. Limited only by the laws of physics.

About the role

As Facilities Manager, you'll own everything that keeps the company running day-to-day — payments, purchasing, vendors, and facility operations. Your job is to make sure R&D, production, and testing can run without friction.

We're a small team scaling fast, which means your scope will vary greatly — from making payments and managing purchase orders to coordinating with vendors, maintaining our facility, and keeping supplies stocked. Many of the systems you'll run don't exist yet. You'll build them from scratch!

This is a high-trust, high-ownership role for someone who takes pride in keeping things running and can't stand when things fall through the cracks.

You'll thrive here if you:

• Take pride in keeping things organized, on time, and running smoothly.
• Enjoy taking vague or chaotic processes and turning them into systems that work.
• Are comfortable working across payments, vendor management, facility ops, and admin.
• Have strong follow-through — if something's pending, you'll chase it down until it's done.
• Are proactive about facility maintenance — you notice what's broken before anyone else does.

Roles and responsibilities

• Payments & Purchasing: Own all company payments — vendor invoices, rent, utilities, salaries, reimbursements, purchase orders. Set up expense tracking, maintain clean records, and coordinate with external accountants.
• Facility Maintenance & Operations: Be the single point of contact for anything facility-related. Keep the workspace functional, safe, and well-maintained. Manage supplies, equipment, consumables, and shipments.
• Vendor Coordination: Find and manage vendors for engineering supplies, raw materials, maintenance, etc.
