About Tread

Tread is building AI-powered vertical SaaS for one of the largest, most critical industries in the global economy—construction materials logistics. Every road, bridge, and large-scale project relies on this industry, and we’re bringing cutting-edge AI to transform how materials move, optimizing truck routing, project planning, and procurement.

Our AI assisted platform helps all of our customers (Haulers, Producers, and Contractors) have better visibility of their material, save money, fuel, and time through route planning & optimizing loaded mile delivery, while also delivering exceptional customer service to both haulers and end customers ->

with personalized AI agents.

Our platform is growing incredibly quickly, and we expect this growth to continue at an even more rapid pace. In October 2025, we approached $1Bn in monthly delivered load value.

About The Role

Tread is transforming the construction and material logistics industry, and our customers rely on us to not only build software they need, but to guide them on how our software can transform their operations. This is a highly networked industry, where word of mouth is king, and referrals are as good as gold. This is not a traditional growth or marketing role as our customer base does not live in the same channels as a classic B2B customer. This role demands a willingness to cut across marketing channels, both online and offline, to discover where our customers are, and craft effective and original campaigns to drive awareness and urgency. This is our first Marketing hire, meaning you'll play a critical role in shaping how we scale our customer base.

Passionate and excited about driving AI and software solutions into heavy traditional industries like construction and materials production

Skilled in crafting messaging and relating real life workflows to Tread’s software solution and agentic capabilities

Highly iterative, exploring multiple marketing channels at once to discover where we can drive efficient and effective growth

You’re curious : You ask the right questions and seek to deeply understand customer operations

You welcome feedback and execute on it quickly
