[Hiring] Co-Founder & CEO - AI Communication Agents for Freight & Logistics @FutureSight

Role Description

FutureSight is seeking a Co-Founder & CEO to lead HawkAI, an enterprise AI venture for US logistics brokerages, carriers, and warehouse operators. This is a co-founder partnership with meaningful founder equity, not a salaried executive role.

HawkAI deploys always-on, multi-channel "AI workers" that autonomously manage high-volume freight communications across calls, texts, and emails, integrating directly with core freight systems including TMS, load boards, and broker/carrier databases. The platform handles:

• Track-and-trace calls
• Appointment scheduling
• Carrier rate negotiation
• Proof-of-delivery capture
• Shipment status updates

It autonomously resolves 90%+ of routine communications and escalates only exceptions to human staff. Rather than another point tool layered on top of existing systems, HawkAI is designed to operate as the always-on communication layer for logistics teams, enabling them to focus on exceptions and value-driving work.

We are now seeking the founder to lead the venture from here.

Market Context

• The US logistics BPO market for outsourced communications is approximately $26B, representing a major automation opportunity in a labour-intensive industry.
• Approximately 150,000 US freight forwarders, 3PLs, and warehouses form the target market, with tiered subscription pricing yielding a $1.5B annual TAM.
• Mid-sized US brokerages handle thousands of daily calls, with staff unable to answer or follow up on every transaction, contributing to OTIF (On Time/In Full) penalties and costly delays.
• Early customers deploying AI communication assistants report approximately 33% lower operating costs and significantly faster call resolution.
• AI supply chain software is growing at approximately 23% CAGR globally from 2025–2031, with North America seeing 30–45% annual growth in AI-driven logistics spend.

Partnership

• Founder equity with meaningful ownership from inception.
• Pre-seed capital committed by FutureSight for early hires and MVP development, with potential for follow-on funding.
• Venture building resources, including embedded design, engineering, growth, and fundraising support from day one.
• Investor and advisor network across vertical AI and early-stage capital markets.
• A true co-creation model in which you operate as CEO with FutureSight's cross-functional team as your partner.

What you'll own

• Set the venture's direction and lead its execution.
• Refine the ICP, pricing model, and product positioning across freight brokerages, 3PLs, carriers, and warehouse operators.
• Lead pilots with mid-sized to enterprise freight brokerages, convert them to paid engagements, and build the go-to-market motion targeting Heads of Logistics, Supply Chain, and Operations.
• Partner with the FutureSight product and engineering team to ship V1 and iterate on user feedback, focusing on TMS and load board integrations, conversational AI quality, and autonomous workflow execution.
• Lead the seed raise, supported by FutureSight's network and traction.
• Recruit and lead the founding team, and establish the cultural foundation of the company.

Co-Founder Profile

• Previous founding experience at a venture-backed company.
• Demonstrated success in B2B SaaS go-to-market, including sales and customer engagement.
• Fundraising fluency, with the ability to develop investor narratives and close capital.
• Proven ability to attract, develop, and retain top talent.
• Clear-eyed understanding of the risks and demands of co-founding a venture-backed company.
• Direct exposure to logistics, supply chain, freight brokerage, transportation, or B2B enterprise software serving these industries, with familiarity in AI agents/LLMs.
