Co-Founder & CEO - AI Reverse Logistics Orchestration Platform

FutureSight • Seattle, WA

16h

About The Position

FutureSight is seeking a Co-Founder & CEO to lead a new AI-native reverse logistics orchestration venture. This is a co-founder partnership with meaningful founder equity, not a salaried executive role. The venture will build an AI-first orchestration layer that sits between customers, fulfillment networks, and finance systems. The platform will enforce policy at intake, capture evidence at the source, determine the optimal path for each return (recovery, resale, exchange, credit, refurbishment, or return to inventory), and track outcomes through to financial closure. It is designed to operate as an orchestration layer across existing ERPs, WMSs, or commerce platforms, enabling organizations to control cost, risk, and recovered value after the sale. The role involves setting the direction, leading execution, refining strategy, leading customer development and pilots, partnering on product development, leading the seed raise, and recruiting and leading the founding team.

Requirements

• Previous founding experience at a venture-backed company.
• Demonstrated success in B2B SaaS go-to-market, including sales and customer engagement.
• Fundraising fluency, with the ability to develop investor narratives and close capital.
• Proven ability to attract, develop, and retain top talent.
• Clear-eyed understanding of the risks and demands of co-founding a venture-backed company.
• Direct exposure to operations-heavy commerce, supply chain, or logistics environments, with hands-on experience in returns, warranty, fulfillment, or post-sale workflows, and familiarity with AI agents/LLMs.

Responsibilities

• Set the direction of the venture and lead its execution.
• Refine the ICP, pricing model, and product positioning.
• Lead pilots with operations-heavy commerce, retail, or supply chain organizations, convert them to paid engagements, and build the go-to-market motion.
• Partner with the FutureSight product and engineering team to ship V1 and iterate on user feedback.
• Lead the seed raise, supported by FutureSight's network and traction.
• Recruit and lead the founding team, and establish the cultural foundation of the company.

Benefits

• Founder equity with meaningful ownership from inception.
• Pre-seed capital committed by FutureSight for early hires and MVP development, with potential for follow-on funding.
• Studio resources, including embedded design, engineering, growth, and fundraising support from day one.
• Investor and advisor network across commerce, supply chain, vertical AI, and early-stage capital markets.
• A true co-creation model in which you operate as CEO with the studio as your partner.
