Job Description

FutureSight is seeking an experienced and visionary Founding CEO to lead the launch of a new AI-native reverse logistics orchestration platform. Reverse logistics everything that happens after a sale has become one of the largest and least controlled cost centers in modern commerce. Returns, warranties, exchanges, and recoveries are unavoidable, high-volume workflows, yet they are still managed through fragmented tools, spreadsheets, and manual judgment.

Operations, finance, and customer teams spend enormous effort enforcing policy, chasing evidence, routing returns, and reconciling outcomes often with little visibility into where value is lost or when cash will actually be recovered. The result is margin leakage, long cycle times, and growing operational drag in a workflow that continues to scale.

We are building an AI-first orchestration layer that sits between customers, fulfillment networks, and finance systems. The platform enforces policy at intake, captures evidence at the source, determines the optimal path for each return, and tracks outcomes through to financial closure without replacing existing ERPs, WMSs, or commerce platforms.

This is an opportunity to build c infrastructure in a $700B+ global market, shaping how modern organizations control cost, risk, and recovered value after the sale.

As Founding CEO, you will

  • Win customers Run pilots, shape pricing, and validate retention + expansion
  • Build the product Work with FutureSight's product/engineering pod to launch V1
  • Raise capital Lead the seed round with our initial investment
  • Build your team Hire your founding team and set the cultural foundation
