You will...

• Solidify yourself as a truck purchasing/selling SME. Meet with customers evaluating fleet purchases and talk shop from a position of real experience with the nuances of the buying process.

• Own customer value cases. Build value propositions grounded in the customer's actual network and freight data (lane economics, fleet sizing, utilization) and present them to VP/C-level audiences at carriers, shippers, and private fleets.

• Speak TCO at the line-item level. Tractor lifecycle, depreciation and residuals, driver cost structures, fuel, insurance, maintenance, empty miles, cost-per-mile vs. cost-of-ownership - and clearly articulate the cost impact of autonomy against the customer's current operating reality.

• Hold your own in operational discussions. Responsible for quickly comprehending customer's supply chains, pain points and areas of opportunity. Propose solutions that fit within their desired operating model

• Support customer hosting. Partner with your Commercial sales counterpart to run demos, on-sites, and multi-day working sessions as the face of the solutions engagement, owning both the room and the agenda.

• Shape the commercial constructs behind a pilot. Work with Sales, Product, and Finance on the structures behind a signed pilot, and with Operations on what can actually be committed and when.

• Build with AI tooling. Use Claude Code / Codex daily to build and extend analysis pipelines, models, and customer deliverables in a shared codebase.

• Scale the playbook. Turn one-off analyses into repeatable frameworks so each new customer engagement is faster than the last. As the team grows, help shape it - mentoring future hires and building out the function

• A demonstrated record of building and presenting quantitative value propositions and business cases to senior executives.

• Strong quantitative modeling skills, with the ability to apply them inside an agentic coding environment.

• Executive presence - sharp storytelling, strong deck craft, and the judgment to know what belongs on a slide and what doesn't.
