  • Have a track record of successful go-to-market work in relevant industries including logistics, supply chain, EV charging, EVs, and/or grid-tied assets. 
  • Have or be able to rapidly build a professional network in the logistics/supply chain industry
  • Think creatively and opportunistically to resolve critical business challenges 
  • Communicate effectively to share learnings and make clear group decisions
  • Thrive in nimble, small-team environments with significant individual autonomy
  • Value diverse ideas, backgrounds, and problem solving styles
  • Display leadership qualities that align with Teal organizational values

We cover 100% of employee premiums and 75% of dependent premiums for medical, dental, and vision insurance.

About Jaro Fleet Technologies 
Jaro Fleet Technologies exists to accelerate the widespread adoption of electric semi-trucks. Founded by an experienced electric vehicle expert (Apple SPG, 3 startups, MIT, Stanford) and well-capitalized by top-tier venture capital firms (Pale Blue Dot, Lerer-Hippeau, Box Group), Jaro Fleet Technologies is developing a breakthrough charging technology and highly-scalable customer acquisition model to rapidly electrify the fastest growing segment of US freight trucking. 

Freight trucking is responsible for 3X more emissions than all other commercial vehicle types combined in the US, and has demonstrated very rapid customer adoption once unit economics are proven. Jaro seeks to deliver a critical enabling technology for this industry to electrify. 

Working at Jaro means not only tackling this enormous source of greenhouse gas emissions and urban air pollution, but also redefining how climate startups treat their employees. Jaro Fleets is a Public Benefit Corporation in which each employee has rights to protect the company’s mission, has an annual vote on CEO performance, and is empowered to prevent workplace discrimination. By inviting diverse, passionate employees to thrive in a more equitable organizational model, Jaro seeks to demonstrate a better way to solve climate. 

Join Jaro’s founding team to help us build this vision. 

Equal Employment Opportunity
We are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all our employees and are seeking to build a team that reflects the diversity of the people we hope to serve with our products. We are proud to be an equal opportunity employer.
