We believe logistics shouldn't be a black box. PackageX helps businesses to stop flying blind and relying on point solutions and outdated logistics systems that don't talk to each other. PackageX lets customers gain control of their logistics operations across shipping, tracking, storage, delivery, and receiving on a unified platform to improve efficiency, sky-rocket growth, and meet fast-changing end-customer expectations.

 

We're a seed stage tech startup based in New York City with a distributed global team. We’re backed by Sierra Ventures, Ludlow Ventures, MXV Capital, Pareto Holdings, and other strategic investors and angels.

 

We're always looking for talented humans who want to challenge the status quo and join us on the journey of building the future of logistics alongside us.

 

PackageX is the global logistics platform. We create outbound shipments, runs courier marketplaces, manages inventory, builds simple, developer-friendly APIs, and more.

 

PackageX is seeking a marketing leader to partner with our CEO to build our marketing strategy and execute against it. You'll be the first marketing hire and have the opportunity to drive and deliver impact through your prior experiences.
