Want to work with the world’s leading companies to help them digitize their fleets and launch new mobility start-ups? Does picturing yourself on a high-performance team working alongside colleagues with diverse backgrounds as start-up entrepreneurs, new mobility services operators, and management consultants from top firms like McKinsey, PWC, and E&Y sound exciting? Then check out this unique opportunity at Ridecell!

Ridecell has a long history of innovation in the mobility space, from the early days of running the Summon ridesharing service in San Francisco; to powering the carsharing platforms for mobility service operators like BMW, Renault, AAA, and Toyota; to more recently expanding into digitization solutions for large scale fleets with operators like Penske. Ridecell is headquartered in San Francisco with offices in Madrid, Paris, Berlin, and Pune India.

Ridecell is structured with several customer facing teams that work closely together in a “land and expand” model. Our Sales team is responsible for “landing” major new enterprise accounts. Our Customer Launch team works on our deal teams to help position our solution to prospects, and then collaborates closely with customers to design and execute their implementation plan. Our Customer Success team is responsible for “expanding” our existing enterprise customers by influencing them to pursue major initiatives that increase their usage of Ridecell’s platform and/or adopt new Ridecell solutions.

Personal characteristics of individuals who have proven to be a good fit in our dynamic environment include strong strategic thinking skills, an entrepreneurial mindset, the ability to build rapport with customer executives, and a willingness to roll up their sleeves and execute whatever task needs doing. Candidates with backgrounds in management consulting (e.g., McKinsey, BCG, Deloitte, Accenture, etc.), operational roles with large fleets or new mobility start-ups (e.g., ridesharing, carsharing), and customer success strategic roles with enterprise solution SaaS vendors often have the skills and experience needed.

We are currently seeking to add a Customer Launch Manager to our team in San Francisco. The successful candidate will typically manage one or two enterprise launches at a time, and often will continue to play a role post-launch in driving the customer’s success.
