  4. Partner cross‑functionally – Surface market feedback to Product, co‑develop case studies with Marketing, and set Customer Success up for smooth implementations.

  5. Represent Parade in the market – Attend industry conferences, host webinars, and contribute to thought leadership around freight tech and AI.

  • Proven ability to build pipeline, run complex sales cycles (ACV $50k–$250k), and beat quota.

  • Strong business acumen to quantify operational savings, payback period, and ROI for prospects.

  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to translate technical capabilities into executive‑level outcomes.

  • Flexible location – Remote‑first in the U.S. with quarterly team off‑sites in New York City and San Francisco.

  • Mission‑driven team – Freight is the backbone of the economy; you’ll help modernize it through AI and automation.
