Co-Founder & CEO - AI Communication Agents for Freight & Logistics

FutureSight
Chicago, IL
Remote
Job Description
Role Overview

The Co-Founder & CEO will lead HawkAI, an enterprise AI venture for US logistics brokerages, carriers, and warehouse operators. This is a co-founder partnership with meaningful founder equity, not a salaried executive role. The platform will deploy always-on, multi-channel AI workers that autonomously manage high-volume freight communications across calls, texts, and emails, integrating directly with core freight systems.

What You Will Do

As Co-Founder & CEO, you will set the venture's direction and lead its execution. This includes refining the ICP, pricing model, and product positioning, leading pilots with mid-sized to enterprise freight brokerages, and building the go-to-market motion targeting Heads of Logistics, Supply Chain, and Operations.

Why It Might Be a Fit

The ideal candidate will have previous founding experience at a venture-backed company, demonstrated success in B2B SaaS go-to-market, and fundraising fluency. They will also have a clear-eyed understanding of the risks and demands of co-founding a venture-backed company and direct exposure to logistics, supply chain, freight brokerage, transportation, or B2B enterprise software serving these industries.

  • Previous founding experience at a venture-backed company
  • Demonstrated success in B2B SaaS go-to-market
  • Fundraising fluency
  • Proven ability to attract, develop, and retain top talent
  • Clear-eyed understanding of the risks and demands of co-founding a venture-backed company
  • Direct exposure to logistics, supply chain, freight brokerage, transportation, or B2B enterprise software serving these industries
  • Familiarity in AI agents/LLMs

Benefits

  • Founder equity with meaningful ownership from inception
  • Pre-seed capital committed by FutureSight for early hires and MVP development
  • Venture building resources, including embedded design, engineering, growth, and fundraising support
  • Investor and advisor network across vertical AI and early-stage capital markets
  • A true co-creation model in which you operate as CEO with FutureSight's cross-functional team as your partner
