Company Overview:
At Veo, we are on a mission to end car dependency by making clean transportation accessible to all and advancing the next generation of fully electric micro-mobility systems. Our fleets are constantly evolving and feature a range of vehicles - from pedal and electric bicycles, to standing and seated e-scooters, e-cargo bikes, and ADA accessible devices. We design and build our own vehicles, hardware, and software systems in house and run all our local operations to provide safe, efficient, and responsive mobility services that make communities more sustainable and livable. We are looking for exceptionally talented individuals who are ready to develop and implement new solutions to these exciting challenges. We are headquartered in Santa Monica, CA, but are hiring across the U.S. Join us!
As a Strategic Partnerships & New Markets Manager, you will manage support functions essential to sales productivity, allowing our Policy and Partnerships team to more efficiently expand Veo’s market share domestically and globally. This role will be key to Veo’s success in expanding our service in both cities and universities, and will focus on both existing RFP opportunities, as well as new business lead generation. You will work closely with other members of Veo’s Public Policy and Partnerships team, as well as Veo’s hardware and software departments to ensure coordinated communication of Veo’s strengths to potential partners. Veo’s Strategic Partnerships & New Markets Managers must be motivated and active team players capable of excelling in a fast-paced work environment and serving in a public-facing role for a dynamic and growing company.
Who you are:

- You genuinely care about reducing carbon emissions and making cities safer and more accessible for all by getting people out of cars and onto bikes and scooters.
- Networking is something you enjoy: You are a regular at conferences and are constantly running out of business cards.
- Presentation matters to you: You don’t need help making great presentations (ppts and talking points) and when you speak at conferences, people wait around to ask questions and learn more.
