Job Description
OEM Leader - Leadership Development Program

Location: Denver, Colorado (100% Onsite, Monday-Friday)

Experience Level: 0-3 years

Start Date: ASAP (not considering students graduating in 2026)

About the Company

Our Client is on a mission to increase sustainability and create more jobs by making supply chains more efficient across the entire value chain. Through powerful AI technology, their autonomous supply chain platform seeks to reduce carbon emissions caused by supply chain transportation, improve the lives of approximately 3.5 million truck drivers and create more jobs across all players in B2B transactions. They operate in a very fast-paced and nimble environment that is highly focused on a team-first, accomplishment-oriented culture that is passionate about the organization's success. Our products have been developed by a world-class engineering team that simplifies complex business problems to a degree where adoption is effortless

About the Role

Our client is seeking exceptional early-career talent to join their OEM Leadership Development Program , a fast-track opportunity designed for high achievers who blend operations, engineering, product thinking, and customer-facing acumen . OEM Leaders are expected to rapidly take ownership of critical business functions or lead automation/operations initiatives for major enterprise customers.

This is a highly selective, high-visibility program where successful hires will receive weekly mentorship from the CFO and, upon demonstrating strong performance, work directly with the Founder/CEO on strategic initiatives.

If you thrive in fast-paced environments, enjoy solving hard technical and operational problems, and want a career path with significant autonomy and executive exposure-this role is built for you.

What You'll Do

Operational & Engineering Ownership

• Take full ownership of a core operational function or workflow-independently driving efficiency, scalability, and reliability.
• Lead high-impact automation initiatives within enterprise customer environments.
• Analyze complex datasets to identify bottlenecks, quantify impact, and propose technical solutions.

Cross-Functional Leadership

• Collaborate closely with engineering, product, and customer teams to align operations with technical and business goals.
• Translate technical challenges into actionable business recommendations.
• Present findings and progress to senior leadership, including the CFO and CEO.

Customer & Product Engagement

• Work directly with enterprise customers to diagnose issues, optimize workflows, and enhance performance through automation.
• Assist in shaping product strategy through data-driven insights from real-world operations.
• Support account management activities by solving operational problems that matter most to customers.

Strategy, Execution, and Ownership

• Drive designated projects end-to-end, from scoping and analysis through execution and measurement.
• Develop metrics, dashboards, and models to quantify initiative performance.
• Own deliverables and deadlines with minimal oversight-this is an "extreme ownership" environment.

What Makes You a Strong Fit

Academic Excellence

• Bachelor's degree from a top-tier university preferred (e.g., UC Berkeley, USC, Dartmouth, Georgia Tech, Brown, Colorado School of Mines, etc.).
• Strong academic performance (high GPA, honors, awards, or scholarships).

Technical & Analytical Strength

• Background in a STEM-related discipline such as Engineering, Computer Science, Applied Math, Physics, Data Science, or similar.
• Hands-on experience with tools like Python, SQL, MATLAB, R, C++, or comparable technical toolsets.
• Ability to analyze problems quantitatively and propose data-driven solutions.

Practical, Impactful Experience

• Experience through research roles, internships, co-ops, or technical projects.
• Demonstrated ability to drive measurable impact (e.g., efficiency improvements, cost savings, successful product iterations).

Leadership & Initiative

• Strong track record of leading teams, clubs, projects, competitions, or entrepreneurial ventures.
• Self-starter mentality with the drive to take ownership and push projects to completion.

Communication & Collaboration

• Comfortable working cross-functionally and presenting to senior leaders.
• Ability to translate complex technical concepts into clear, actionable ideas.

Mindset

• Entrepreneurial, curious, resourceful, and willing to learn quickly.
• Eager to work in a highly autonomous, high-expectation environment with executive visibility.

Why This Opportunity Stands Out

• Weekly 1:1 mentorship with the CFO
• Direct exposure to the Founder/CEO once initial milestones are met
• Ownership of meaningful, high-impact initiatives from day one
• Blend of engineering, operations, strategy, and product-not a traditional entry-level role
• Fast career acceleration in a technical, customer-facing environment

Interview Process

1. Recruiter Call - Learn about the role, culture, and expectations.
2. CFO Interview - Leadership evaluation and problem-solving assessment.
3. Onsite Panel (Denver HQ) - Technical, operational, and culture-focused interviews with cross-functional leaders.

Salary Range: $100K to $145k DOE.
