SalaryWho we are
The US freight market is made up of 1.6 million trucking companies (carriers), and 95% are small businesses with 10 or fewer trucks. Truckers are the backbone of the American economy, providing a crucial logistics service while simultaneously doing all the additional work that comes with owning and operating a small business. The current banking and accounts receivable management technology available today is not built for the unique needs of this industry, forcing carriers to settle for multiple suboptimal solutions. We want to even the playing field and help them take control of their finances by building tools specific to their needs.
We are building a fintech platform that fundamentally understands a trucker's business and optimizes cash flow to help them save money and grow their business. Outgo is a vertical banking solution that handles invoicing, accounting, factoring, and banking all in one place. We are revolutionizing money management for trucking companies so they no longer have exorbitant rates, hidden fees, or long contracts. We're a mission driven team that loves building products that put our customers at center. Join us and help us partner with truckers to improve their bottom line.
Our headquarters are in Seattle, WA. We offer a hybrid working arrangement.
This position will have a hybrid working arrangement with someone who is excited to be in the office working collaboratively with the team.
