Who we are

Gatik, the leader in autonomous middle-mile logistics, is revolutionizing the B2B supply chain with its autonomous transportation-as-a-service (ATaaS) solution and prioritizing safe, consistent deliveries while streamlining freight movement by reducing congestion. The company focuses on short-haul, B2B logistics for Fortune 500 retailers and in 2021 launched the world’s first fully driverless commercial transportation service with Walmart. Gatik's Class 3-7 autonomous trucks are commercially deployed across major markets, including Texas, Arkansas, and Ontario, Canada, driving innovation in freight transportation.

The company's proprietary Level 4 autonomous technology, Gatik Carrier, is custom-built to transport freight safely and efficiently between pick-up and drop-off locations on the middle mile. With robust capabilities in both highway and urban environments, Gatik Carrier serves as an all-encompassing solution that integrates advanced software and hardware powering the fleet, facilitating effortless integration into customers' logistics operations.

About the role

As a Senior Commercial Manager, you will play a key role in advancing Gatik’s commercial strategy, supporting business development, and driving growth across key partnerships with customers, OEMs, and vendors. Embedded within a highly collaborative Commercial team, you’ll work cross-functionally with Sales, Fleet Operations, Procurement, Legal, and Product to shape the trajectory of Gatik’s business.

You will leverage your quantitative expertise, strategic thinking, and creative problem-solving skills to tackle complex challenges, identify growth opportunities, and deliver high-impact insights to leadership and external stakeholders. This is a high-ownership, high-impact role within a fast-paced, mission-driven environment.

What you'll do

• Structure complex problems, analyze large amounts of data, and deliver insights and recommendations to the Gatik leadership team.
• Conduct research and analysis of industry, company, customer, and channel data to support market assessment and identification of key trends / opportunities.
• Develop and present strategic recommendations to internal stakeholders and external senior executives.
• Build and maintain complex financial models to evaluate business opportunities, partnerships, and growth strategies.
• Collaborate across Gatik teams to support business development initiatives and drive cross-functional projects.
• Support the Commercial team in the planning and execution of key initiatives, including customer engagements, strategic partnerships, and operational improvements.
• Perform additional duties as needed to support Gatik’s commercial growth.

What we're looking for

• Bachelor's degree in a quantitative field (e.g., Finance, Economics, Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering, Data Analytics) or equivalent experience.
• 3+ years of experience in a highly analytical role (consulting, investment banking, strategic planning, business intelligence).
• Proven track record of structuring and solving complex business problems.
• Strong proficiency in Excel and PowerPoint; experience with data visualization tools (e.g., Power BI, Tableau) is a plus.
• Experience managing customer relationships and working with external partners.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, both written and verbal.
• Previous experience in transportation, logistics, or technology sectors is preferred.

More about Gatik

Founded in 2017 by experts in autonomous vehicle technology, Gatik has rapidly expanded its presence to Mountain View, Dallas-Fort Worth, Arkansas, and Toronto. As the first and only company to achieve fully driverless middle-mile commercial deliveries, Gatik holds a unique and defensible position in the AV industry, with a clear trajectory toward sustainable growth and profitability.

We have delivered complete, proprietary AV technology - an integration of software and hardware - to enable earlier successes for our clients in constrained Level 4 autonomy. By choosing the middle mile – with defined point-to-point delivery, we have simplified some of the more complex AV challenges, enabling us to achieve full autonomy ahead of competitors. Given extensive knowledge of Gatik’s well-defined, fixed route ODDs and hybrid architecture, we are able to hyper-optimize our models with exponentially less data, establish gate-keeping mechanisms to maintain explainability, and ensure continued safety of the system for unmanned operations.
