Job description

Want to be part of transforming road freight? Einride is showing the world a new way to move, based on the latest digital, autonomous and electric technologies. We build the technology that hauls freight efficiently, and we put it to work for the world's leading manufacturers, retailers, logistics providers and defense organizations, all working toward a future where moving goods costs less for our customers, and less for the planet.

Founded in 2016, Einride became the first company in the world to deploy a cab-less autonomous electric vehicle on a public road (Sweden, 2019). In 2022, we were the first to successfully operate such a vehicle on a U.S. public road. In June 2026, Einride became a publicly listed company on Nasdaq, a milestone that reflects a decade of turning what once looked like science fiction into everyday reality. Today, our technology moves freight across North America, Europe, and the Middle East for some of the world's biggest shippers.

As Director of Network Strategy, you will design and optimize our transportation network, deciding where we operate, how freight flows, and how we invest to grow profitably. You will turn data and market insight into strategies that improve cost, service, and capacity.

You will:

• Own the long-term network strategy, including lanes, facilities, hubs, and modal mix.
• Lead network modeling and scenario analysis to guide capacity, capital, and expansion decisions.
• Partner with Operations, Commercial, Finance, and Engineering to align network plans with customer demand and business goals.
• Identify and prioritize opportunities to reduce cost per mile, improve asset utilization, and strengthen service reliability.
• Evaluate new markets, partnerships, and technologies, such as automation and electrification.
• Build and lead a high-performing team of analysts and strategists.
• Present recommendations and performance outcomes to executive leadership.

We expect you to:

• 10+ years in transportation, logistics, or supply chain, including 3+ years in a leadership role.
• Deep understanding of network design, freight economics, and operational constraints.
• Strong analytical skills, with experience in optimization and simulation tools and SQL or Python.
• Proven ability to influence cross-functional stakeholders and executives.
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering, operations research, business, or a related field. MBA or master’s preferred.

What We Offer

• Salary Range: $110,400 - $149,000 base annual salary.
• Comprehensive Healthcare: Medical, Dental, and Vision coverage
• Retirement & Savings: 401(k) plan with company match
• Generous Time Off: 25 days PTO, 15 sick days, and 15 paid US holidays annually
