Co-Founder & CEO - AI for Logistics Operations

FutureSight is seeking an experienced and visionary Founding CEO to lead the launch of a new AI-native exception resolution system for mid-market logistics teams (shippers, 3PLs, freight forwarders, distributors).

Mid-market logistics operations are governed by documents — Bills of Lading, customs forms, invoices, PODs, compliance certificates, and contracts — yet most teams manage these through email, PDFs, portals, and spreadsheets. When documents are missing, incorrect, or inconsistent, shipments stall, costs spike, and ops teams spend most of their time firefighting exceptions instead of managing flow.

We’re building an exception resolution system that understands shipment documents in context, detects what’s missing or wrong, reconciles inconsistencies across documents and systems, and guides teams toward the right corrective action — without replacing existing TMS or ERP platforms. The result: faster exception resolution, fewer delays, and lower operational cost for the mid-market.

This is an opportunity to build an AI-native product in a $30B+ global supply chain software market, targeting one of the most painful and underserved operational problems.

As Founding CEO, you will

• Win customers — Run pilots, shape pricing, and validate retention + expansion.
• Build the product — Work with FutureSight’s product/engineering pod to launch V1.
• Raise capital — Lead the seed round with our initial investment.
• Build your team — Hire your founding team and set the cultural foundation.
