About Freight Tiger And The Opportunity
Freight Tiger has built Indias largest unified freight network, which combines offline with digital to build an intelligent ecosystem for the logistics industry. This is revolutionary for a supply chain that is traditionally fragmented, offline, and time-intensive. As India aims to bring down logistics costs from over 14% to under 10% of GDP, Freight Tiger is positioned to be at the forefront of this ambitious endeavour.
Have you ever wanted to lead the success of a cutting-edge product that will change the very nature of an industry? We are looking for a top-of-class Product & Growth Marketing Lead to fuel our growth as we scale rapidly. This role is for those who like an open canvas to do their best work; we love off-the-wall ideas and are waiting to let you run with them.
Freight Tiger uses unique technology to solve operational problems for all stakeholders in the supply chain, from large-scale producers to individual drivers.

This will give you the opportunity to strategize for a vast variety of customers across a diverse range of product offerings. If youve always wanted to push your creative limits, this is the place for you.
What we need from you: deal well with ambiguity, resilience and grit, passion to market and position B2B technology products, and most importantly, lots of drive. What you'll get in return: a seat at the table at a growth-stage tech start-up with a brilliant team and massive potential.
