This is a new market. On day one there is no fleet in Detroit, no facility, and no local team. This role builds all three.

As Market Manager, you own Detroit 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 Detroit 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. Detroit 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 Detroit'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 Michigan

Get the first vehicles delivered, registered, inspected, and road-ready

Recruit, onboard, and activate Detroit's first cohort of drivers, then convert that into a repeatable supply process
