We are building the future of freight

Mothership's groundbreaking technology is unlocking the world's potential by making freight delivery more efficient. Started in 2017, we're backed by some of venture capital's best investors and have already become the logistics backbone for many of today's most innovative companies.

To double down on that success, we’re looking for highly driven and detail-oriented individuals looking to add value, solve problems and join a rocket ship.

• Providing advice across a wide range of legal issues, including transportation matters involving bodily injury, property damage, consumer privacy, consumer marketing, competition, intellectual property rights, and regulatory compliance
• Developing policies and procedures, identifying and implementing process improvements, and providing legal training to the teams you support
• Drafting and negotiating commercial agreements
• Ability and desire to provide an excellent work product that reflects strong research, writing, and analytical skills as well as drafting pleadings, motions and briefs
