About deployments:- A strong deployment strategist will have the ability to lead an industrial organization through one of the largest digital transformations it has gone through in decades. This requires a few key traits:
- Ethos. There are three main components that make up ethos in this context:
- The ability to learn quickly; you'll quickly gain credibility with our clients if you deeply understand transportation and logistics and the idiosyncrasies of their operations. This requires someone who can learn vast amounts of new information about a complex industry and specific corporations on the fly.
- Strong communication skills
- Authority; being able to speak with conviction and confidence is critical in winning the trust of management at enterprise fleets, and, correspondingly, helping lead the deployment of new technology.
- Strategic thinking: Each fleet has noticeably different operations, and, as such, the deployments are rarely consistent. Being able to figure out the best organizational structure and workflows to propose to each fleet based on their particular circumstances requires a strong strategic mind.
- Organization; deployment strategists will manage multiple large clients at once.
- Scrappiness; being willing to do whatever it takes to push the deployment, team, and product forward, irregardless of how sexy/interesting it might be.
We're looking for people who can in the short-term execute deployments at a high-level, and in the long-term help shape the playbook for how we deploy our software with clients and recruit a team that can execute that playbook.
Outside of deployments:Our ideal candidate has the desire to wear many hats based on priorities. A few examples are:
- Recruiting - recruiting engineers and future operations team members.
- Product Management - triage issues and come up with product lines based on experiences being on the ground with clients.
- Sales/GTM - helping scale our revenue function
