Weather Forecasting Technical Liaison Manager - Precision Development (PxD)

Title: Weather Forecasting Technical Liaison Manager*

Location: India - remote preferred; open to strong candidates based elsewhere, including the US and Europe

Position: Full-time

Application deadline: July 31, 2026 (applications may be reviewed as they are submitted)

*(Job title amended from "Technical Project Manager" to more accurately reflect the skills and requirements this role needs)

Summary

Precision Development (PxD) is seeking a Technical Project Manager to serve as a critical technical translator within its weather forecasting initiative. The successful candidate will sit at the intersection of climate science and program delivery — developing a deep enough understanding of the technical details behind PxD's forecasting partners' work (what can and cannot be delivered, and why) to communicate this clearly and accurately to both internal teams and external stakeholders, including government partners.

This is not a data science role, nor is it a traditional government-partnerships role. It requires someone who can genuinely understand the technical substance of what forecasting partners are saying — model capabilities, limitations, and tradeoffs — and translate that into language that internal teams and external stakeholders can act on with confidence.

This role builds on PxD's demonstrated success in pioneering digital advisory services. In 2025, PxD worked with partners to disseminate AI-generated monsoon forecasts to 39+ million farmers across 13 states. In 2026, this has scaled to 52+ million farmers. The Technical Project Manager will play a key role in ensuring that the technical realities of this forecasting work are clearly understood and communicated across the initiative, so that decisions — internal and external — are grounded in an accurate picture of what the science can and cannot yet do.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Translation. Develop a working technical understanding of PxD's forecasting partners' methods, capabilities, and limitations (e.g., model uncertainty, forecast skill, data constraints), sufficient to explain, in plain language, why something can or cannot currently be delivered.

Internal & External Communication. Synthesize and translate complex scientific findings — including forecast models, agronomic research, and MEL data — into clear, accessible materials for internal stakeholders, policymakers, practitioners, and general audiences. Prepare reports, presentations, and policy briefs as needed.

Cross-Team Coordination. Support structured, ongoing communication between PxD's technical/scientific partners and internal teams and government stakeholders, ensuring that technical constraints and possibilities are accurately reflected in program and policy conversations.

Qualifications

• At least 4 - 6 years of relevant work experience
