What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Manager, Competitive Intelligence & Strategic Projects position at Veho?
Senior Manager of Competitive intelligence & Strategic projects
Background
Our north star at Veho is simple: we want to Win It All: become a large, profitable and irreplaceable company that will change the face of this industry.
In 2016 when we started Veho, we had a clear conviction: ecommerce will continue to grow; Amazon will pressure everyone else to push the boundaries around speed, cost and customer experience, and legacy carriers will fail to adapt. We started Veho to replace these legacy carriers with a customer-centric technology company that offers shipping solutions designed for the ecommerce era.
Nine years later, the industry is changing again in front of our eyes again. As we foresaw in 2016, many legacy carriers are struggling - some of them are going out of the business. At the same time, more and more disruptors are entering the space, and more large international companies are trying to figure out how to play in this market.
To continue winning in this space and build one of the greatest companies in the world, we must continue to get smarter about the competitive landscape. We need to constantly read the map, develop a point of view, and act on it boldly to our advantage.
What are we looking for?
We are looking for a resourceful, analytical self-starter to build Veho’s competitive intelligence and lead strategic initiatives. You will roll up your sleeves and leverage the rest of the organization to build a comprehensive competitive intelligence database to shape our company-wide strategy, provide the Commercial team with market intelligence and industry benchmarks, and the business area partners with intel on how competitors are solving similar problems. You lean towards action and identify opportunities that others might have missed.
What will you do?
Oversee the end-to-end management, planning, and execution of competitive intelligence collection
$153,000-$180,000 annually
The pay range is subject to the discretion of the Company. Additionally, Veho offers a competitive equity package, comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage as well as other benefits such as 401k and unlimited PTO for exempt-level roles.
