Catalyst AI™ is an industry first platform that allows customers to compare, diagnose and manage their fleets using the power of data science and Penske's deep business knowledge. This game-changing technology lets customers get apples-to-apples comparisons instead of static, aggregated industry benchmarks. Penske is the first to solve this need by leveraging AI and machine learning, robust fleet data, and our unique view on maintenance. This technology not only streamlines the fleet benchmarking process, but also delivers actionable, data-driven recommendations tailored to each customer's unique needs. In this role, you will support Catalyst AI and all the future generations of the product.
