This will NOT be a good fit for you if:

• You need to be "managed". You don't need handholding, but you also know when to ask for inputs and advice from key stakeholders. We will rely on you to lead key business initiatives with extreme ownership and autonomy.
• You want to do "strategy" and not get in the weeds. We are a scrappy, fast-paced, and early stage startup; that means everyone, especially Carrier Operations, needs to be willing to get their hands dirty. This will not be a good role for you if you are interested in being a pure manager.
• You struggle to move from "idea" to "execution". This role will require someone with a bias towards action who moves at the speed of high-growth startups in producing well-thought-out initiatives to drive growth and impact for Nuvocargo.
