About the Role
Moove AV's success depends on strong, well-run partnerships with the autonomous vehicle technology companies we work alongside. The Director of Partnerships owns this relationship end to end — acting as the primary point of contact between Moove AV and our AV partner's organization, negotiating commercial terms, and managing the contracts, requests, and day-to-day issues that come with a fast-moving, high-stakes partnership.
This is a newly created, high-visibility role reporting directly to Moove AV's CEO. You'll need to be equally comfortable in a negotiation, a contract redline, and a hallway conversation — building trust with partner counterparts while protecting Moove AV's interests.
