About Veho

Veho's mission is to revolutionize the world of package delivery by creating exceptional experiences for customers and drivers.

For too long, parcel delivery companies have focused solely on efficiencies and cost-management. Veho focuses on the end-customer. As the first technology company of its kind, Veho replaces the old delivery trucks with a platform of crowdsourced drivers and a network of hyper-local delivery stations. We partner with some of the most recognized consumer brands such as Warby Parker and Hello Fresh to provide an incredible experience with every delivery, and give customers control on how, when and where their package is delivered.

Customers LOVE us. Despite growing at a record-speed over the past two years, we maintain an incredibly high customer satisfaction rating of 4.9/5 stars, and an unprecedented on-time delivery rate of 99.9% - far above every other company in the country.

In short, we are building the logistics platform of the future.

Veho is backed by former top executives and board members at Uber, FedEx, UPS, eBay and Amazon, three former public company CEOs, early investors in Lyft and Instacart, as well as prominent venture capital firms General Catalyst, Tiger Global, and Softbank. We are a team of leaders who are passionate about building an incredible company that will change the face of this industry.

About The Role

The world-class support we provide to clients, customers, and driver partners are at the heart of the Veho experience. This senior leadership role will lead our Delivery Support function that directly impacts our ability to deliver on our 99.9% on-time performance and 4.9/5 customer satisfaction. You will achieve this through ensuring high-quality, emotionally intelligent, and hyper-efficient support, and continuing to build and motivate a team of leaders and frontline teammates who empathize with the challenges our community may face. This role requires a star leader who can constantly elevate the level of experience we provide, understand Veho’s operations and adapt to our evolving business, and solve problems in a way that turns our community members into passionate evangelists.

You will be responsible for evolving our Delivery Support strategy and leading a team dedicated to providing the highest levels of experience and support to our clients, customers, driver partners, and other community members we serve. You will be a passionate voice of the community and collaborate with other business leaders to drive defect elimination prioritized by the largest community pain points.

  • Provide thought leadership, mentorship, and coaching to help develop and grow the next generation of leaders across Veho. Contribute to the growth, improvement, and innovation of Support
