## About the role

Trunk Tools is looking for an FDX Manager to lead our deployed team of Forward Deployed Experts (FDX) inside a top-20 general contractor account. You’ll manage a team of five to eight FDX embedded across the customer’s regions, and you’ll still carry field work yourself — this is a player-coach role.

## What they're looking for

- 7+ years of experience including people leadership — you’ve hired, coached, and led teams
- A background in construction operations paired with strong AI fluency
- Experience leading field, deployed, or turnaround teams, professional-services or consulting leadership is a plus
- A genuine player-coach — still credible doing the work, and strong at developing people
- Capacity planning and the judgment to deploy a team against shifting demand
- Construction domain depth and daily AI-tool fluency
