Founding Business Recruiter (Senior/Staff)
About Pallet
Pallet is building AI Agents to transform logistics — a $12 trillion global industry. We’ve raised $50M from top investors and achieved 700% revenue growth in under two years. Our mission is to increase the efficiency of the global supply chain by automating manual workflows that slow logistics teams down, from scheduling and appointment setting to data entry and load management. Our flagship platform provides end-to-end visibility, control, and optimization. Our newest product, CoPallet, introduces AI Agents that can understand and execute requests in real time, and integrate directly with customer systems. As logistics providers adopt generative AI to drive efficiency, Pallet aims to lead the way with deep industry expertise and cutting-edge AI capabilities. Join us and work alongside leaders from Google, DoorDash, YC, and more to shape the future of logistics tech. This role is in-office in San Francisco (5-minute walk from Montgomery BART).
