The Opportunity:

FedEx Dataworks is creating a new market category in supply chain intelligence, turning FedEx's physical commerce data into AI-powered intelligence and orchestration products.

• A master relationship builder, comfortable engaging executive stakeholders and navigating complex enterprise organizations 
• Energized by ambiguity: you create the playbook where one doesn't exist, pairing strategic thinking with relentless execution 
• Experienced with data, analytics, or AI platform products; supply chain or logistics domain is a significant plus 

Preferred Qualifications:

• Experience in a partner development, strategic alliances, or business development organization within a hyperscaler, enterprise platform, data, AI, or supply chain technology company.
• Experience in corporate development, strategy, investment analysis, or complex commercial deal structuring alongside a GTM or revenue-focused role.
