Director, Go-To-Market Strategy

We are inventors, builders, and doers, passionate and purposeful in the work we do. We have a once-in-a-century opportunity to reinvent personal transportation, and we need your help.

In this role, you will be responsible for shaping, operationalizing, and continuously improving our go-to-market strategy for what could become a $10T global market for personal mobility. This is a dual-threat role: we need someone equally fluent in strategy and partnerships - able to go toe-to-toe with external counterparts to negotiate high-value deals, and just as capable of stepping back to set the strategic frame around the cities that we are serving, then expansions we are steering, and the unit economics we are driving. You will regularly engage with and present to senior leadership, including CEOs of partner organizations, so comfort operating in the room with top executives is essential, not optional.

This leader will partner closely with Finance, Strategy, Product, Marketing, and Operations to translate our GTM strategy into a focused set of priorities, integrated plans, and operational systems across our scaling new markets.

In this role, you will...

• Drive Zoox's go-to-market playbook and develop frameworks for city selection, service planning, and fleet sizing, ensuring alignment with corporate cross-functional teams in service of the company's overall business objectives.

• Collaborate with PnL owners, Corporate Strategy, and Finance on a comprehensive and tailored ride-hail commercial strategy that encompasses monetization strategies, models, pricing, and sales approaches to drive customer acquisition and retention.

• Identify, negotiate, and secure partnerships with key commercial and product players across different sectors to enhance product offerings and expand market reach, serving as a primary point of contact with executive counterparts - including CEOs - at partner organizations.

• Analyze various data-sets to understand mobility needs, demand profiles, and trip characteristics in cities.

• Conduct and incorporate comprehensive industry market research to support strategic decision-making.

• Build relationships with external organizations and experts to gather data-points and obtain expert opinions.

• Research, synthesize, and present key strategic decisions and business issues with senior leadership.

• Lead cross-functional teams to ensure successful project execution that aligns with strategic objectives.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree required

• 15+ years of experience in strategy, business development, and partnerships.

• A demonstrated ability to operate as both dealmaker and strategist - you don't hand off partnerships to someone else once the strategy is set, and you don't hand off strategy once a deal is signed
