About the role

As General Manager , you will manage a first-of-its-kind, intermodal transit service while gaining exposure to a fast-paced tech company.

  • Foster a culture deeply committed to providing a world class customer service experience
  • Detail-oriented executor: you’re obsessively action-oriented, and thrive while operating autonomously
