Greetings! I'm Tarun Somani, the Chief Operations Officer at Boxhub.

And now, I'm thrilled to announce that we're looking to hire our first-ever Head of Carrier Strategy & Operations.

Our Mission:

Boxhub is an e-commerce & logistics startup on a mission to revolutionize the way shipping containers are traded, transported, and used. Shipping containers are becoming the most sustainable and cheapest solution for many storage and building projects. We believe that giving our customers better access to containers, while improving the inherently broken supply chain, we can generate a substantial positive impact and help save thousands of tons of CO2 per year.

We were recently listed by VC's as one of the most promising marketplaces of 2022 and are looking for new team members who are equally passionate about changing an entire industry.
