What You'll Do
Auto is undergoing a massive change towards electric and autonomous vehicles with a fully connected user experience - you've seen this in your work. At a time where these changes are actually reaching a tipping point, Mapbox delivers real-time updated maps, a polished user experience and AI vision enabling our OEM customers to build the future of mobility. We take a consultative, long-term partnership approach in developing business with our customers. We obsess with them about their drivers to create delightful experiences unique to their brand and we work with them to evolve in-car applications continuously throughout the lifetime of the vehicle.

As a Business Development Manager you'll be responsible for the acquisition and management of some of the most valuable Japanese OEM accounts - Toyota, Nissan, Honda and others - many of whom we already work with. You will develop new opportunities around in-car navigation, augmented reality, ADAS and automated driving and manage our customer relationships from the first contact on. You'll be the go-to person and senior advisor in everything related to location technology. You will develop term sheets for new projects and negotiate contracts that enable long-term account growth. You will engage partners in the automotive supplier space to position Mapbox for growth in the market. Location is a fundamental enabler of the future of mobility and the journey is just getting started. If you're excited to build this future together with our customers, we'd love to hear from you.
