- Partner with CharterUP operations to scope and deliver scalable, high-quality shuttle programs for large worksites.
- Stay current on regional development trends, large construction projects, and infrastructure investment activity to anticipate upcoming opportunities.
- Represent CharterUP at trade shows and industry events relevant to construction, real estate development, and infrastructure logistics.
What You’ll Bring
- 10+ years of experience in business development or enterprise sales, preferably within construction, industrial transportation, or infrastructure-adjacent industries.
- Proven ability to launch new markets and build relationships with senior-level decision-makers.
- Experience managing complex, enterprise-level sales involving RFPs, bids, and multi-stakeholder buying processes.
- Strong business acumen and ability to navigate long sales cycles with multiple touchpoints.
- Comfort operating autonomously, owning strategy execution while collaborating closely with internal stakeholders.
- Excellent communication, presentation, and relationship-building skills.
- Willingness to travel (~20%) for conferences, site visits, and relationship development, with heavier travel during peak event seasons.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience in or strong familiarity with construction, facilities management, or industrial workforce logistics.
- Network within large project developers, general contractors, or enterprise operators.
- Demonstrated ability to partner with internal sales closers and operations teams.
