Market Manager
About 8Fleet:
8Fleet is a Los Angeles–based technology and logistics company building the operational infrastructure behind modern rideshare fleets, both autonomous and non-autonomous. We operate in Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Atlanta, and Miami.
Chicago is one of our next markets, and we're hiring the person who will open it.
About the Role:
This is a new market. On day one there is no fleet in Chicago, no facility, and no local team. This role builds all three.
As Market Manager, you own Chicago end to end: you launch it, you run it, and you grow it.
Before go-live that means securing the physical footprint, building the local vendor bench, getting the first vehicles road-ready, activating the first cohort of drivers, and hiring the operations team you'll lead. After go-live it means owning day-to-day operations, the market's financial performance, and the plan that takes Chicago from a first cohort of drivers to a fully scaled market.
This is an operating job, not a planning one. You'll be in the lot, in the data, and in the details. Chicago will launch non-autonomous; autonomous operations are a possibility as the market matures, not part of the role at launch.
