8fleet-inc The Market Manager will launch, run, and grow the Dallas market for 8Fleet, building the fleet, facility, and local team from scratch. The role includes securing facilities, managing operations, and scaling driver supply and fleet size.
Responsibilities
This is a new market. On day one there is no fleet in Dallas, no facility, and no local team. This role builds all three.
As Market Manager, you own Dallas 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 Dallas 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. Dallas will launch non-autonomous; autonomous operations are a possibility as the market matures, not part of the role at launch.
We're looking for someone who has done this before — who has opened something that didn't exist and carried it through its messy first months — and who wants to do it again with real ownership and real support behind them.
What You'll Own:
Launching the Market:
Secure and outfit Dallas's operating footprint — facility and lot space, equipment, and on-site workflows
Build the local vendor bench: maintenance and repair partners, cleaning, towing, and fueling or charging
Partner with central teams on the licensing, registration, and regulatory requirements needed to operate in Texas
Get the first vehicles delivered, registered, inspected, and road-ready
Recruit, onboard, and activate Dallas's first cohort of drivers, then convert that into a repeatable supply process
