Project Manager (M/F/D)

WHO WE ARE:

Our mission at Biarri Networks is simple but not easy: close the digital divide. The past few years have proven how essential broadband access is to work, education, health, and human connection.

Yet too many people have been left behind because of bad data and overlooked due to cost and geography. We’re here to revolutionize all that. Better, smarter, more innovative, and cost-effective ways of connecting the world are possible. We’ve proven it already and we’re working on more solutions.

Ready to join us?

OUR CULTURE:

Five core values power everything we do:

3. Positive impact. We aim to leave each other, our clients, our community and our planet better after every interaction.
4. Freedom to innovate. Nobody has a monopoly on good ideas. Nobody. Innovation is our secret sauce.
