Executive Hours of Service & Transportation Safety Leader
HOSoptima Inc.Public-Facing Executive | Hours of Service Subject-Matter Expert | Startup Equity Opportunity IMPORTANT — PLEASE READ BEFORE APPLYING This is an early-stage startup opportunity and does not currently provide a cash salary . HOSoptima is a bootstrapped technology startup. We are seeking an exceptional transportation professional who understands that joining at this stage means helping build enterprise value before traditional executive compensation begins. The selected executive will receive an executive-level equity package , subject to definitive agreements, vesting, Board approval, applicable securities laws, and the terms of HOSoptima's equity plan. We anticipate transitioning the position to cash compensation plus equity when the Company reaches an appropriate financing or revenue milestone. If you require immediate salary income from this position, this opportunity is not the right fit at this stage. If, however, you have already built a successful career in transportation and want an opportunity to help build something significant from the ground up, we would like to speak with you. About Us... HOSoptima is building a technology company focused specifically on one of the trucking industry's most persistent challenges: Hours of Service compliance. We believe the industry has become very good at recording HOS data without fully solving the problems that surround that data. ELDs record activity. Fleets receive information. Safety departments review violations. Drivers receive training. Insurers evaluate risk. But significant opportunities remain to connect compliance intelligence, driver education, fleet risk management, safety performance, and insurance into a more unified system. That is the opportunity HOSoptima is pursuing. We have bootstrapped development of our software and assembled a multidisciplinary team, including a development organization of approximately ten people and executives and advisors spanning transportation, technology, insurance, government relations, and business strategy. Our ambitions are substantially larger than building another trucking application. Our long-term vision is to develop HOSoptima into an enterprise transportation technology and data company positioned at the intersection of: Hours of Service compliance; fleet safety and risk management; driver education and certification; ELD and telematics data; commercial transportation insurance; AI-powered compliance intelligence; and enterprise fleet operations. We are now looking for the transportation leader who can help us represent that vision to the industry. THE ROLE We are seeking an Executive HOS & Transportation Safety Leader who can become one of the primary public faces of HOSoptima. This is not simply an advisory position. This individual would operate as a trusted extension of the Founder/CEO on transportation-industry matters and help translate our technology and strategy into language that drivers, safety directors, fleet executives, insurers, regulators, media professionals, and industry organizations understand and respect. When someone asks: “Does HOSoptima actually understand Hours of Service and trucking?” The selected executive should be comfortable representing HOSoptima publicly and professionally. Responsibilities may include: Serving as a senior HOS subject-matter expert for the Company. Advising the Founder/CEO and executive team on HOS rules, driver realities, fleet operations, safety and compliance. Reviewing HOSoptima products, training programs and educational materials for real-world accuracy and relevance. Helping shape HOSoptima's HOS methodology and certification standards. Participating in customer and fleet presentations. Speaking with prospective insurance partners about fleet safety and compliance. Helping establish relationships with fleets, safety organizations, industry associations and other transportation stakeholders. Hosting or co-hosting a HOSoptima podcast. Appearing as a guest …
