Head of Sales ( all genders)

About TradeLink Supply chain collaboration still runs on email, phone calls, and scattered data. 30-50% of logistics capacity disappears into manual coordination every day. A plan deviation takes hours to process. The teams of the Strategic Head of Logistics, our key persona, spend their day firefighting information gaps their systems were supposed to close. Based on our deep integration into the logistics industry and its complex networks through the last five years of TradeLink, we’re rethinking supply chain collaboration. 10,000+ companies already coordinate deliveries on TradeLink. Now we're building the AI layer and you can become the person driving the go-to-market success of this vision. The destination is an AI Control Tower for supply chain operations. Where every dispatcher has an AI copilot handling the operational noise, and humans make the decisions that actually matter.
