About AutoStore

AutoStore is an automated storage and retrieval system (ASRS) that uses the power of warehouse robots for 24/7 order fulfillment within a cubic layout. Backed by SoftBank VF.

About the role

We're looking for a Thought Leadership Lead to build the expert network behind our point of view, own the programming of our flagship event, and turn our thinking into content that shapes how the industry sees warehouse automation and logistics. You'll take a big idea and make it travel: on stage at AutoStore Arena, in a white paper, in our video series, across newsletters and social. You'll move between strategy and delivery, and own initiatives end to end.

What they're looking for

  • Strong B2B marketing experience and a proven track record in thought leadership: a senior expert who can run big, cross-functional initiatives independently, from strategy through to delivery
  • Ideally logistics or supply chain background. If you don't have it yet but learn fast and love going down the rabbit hole, we'd still like to hear from you
  • Exceptional storytelling and editorial judgement, with the ability to turn complex ideas into a clear, differentiated point of view
  • An analytical mindset: you can interrogate proprietary research and operational data, spot the signal, and turn it into a point of view
  • Comfortable across formats — written, video and audio — and confident moving between shaping strategy and producing the work yourself
  • Experience developing content with top-level stakeholders, from management boards and C-suite to Director level, and proven stakeholder management skills to align executives, experts, analysts and agencies
