As the Final Mile Strategic Partnerships Director, you will serve as CRST’s executive relationship owner for national retail partners across furniture, appliances, and big-and-bulky home delivery. You will shape how retailers think about final mile delivery strategy, partner closely with CRST operations to design executable solutions, and retain long-term ownership of senior customer relationships.
This role is not about cold outreach or transactional selling. It is about credibility, trust, and the ability to sit across the table from retail leaders as a peer.

Drive meaningful revenue growth through the development and expansion of large-scale retail partnerships, including $10M+ annual programs
Engage retailer leadership to understand delivery challenges, service expectations, and long-term priorities

Provide executive oversight during new program launches and expansions, ensuring commitments translate into consistent execution
Partner closely with operations, implementation, and support teams to align service quality, performance metrics, and continuous improvement
Act as the voice of the customer internally, influencing cross-functional teams through insight, credibility, and partnership
Maintain awareness of evolving retailer expectations, delivery models, and industry trends to inform partnership strategy
What Great Looks Like
Trusted partnerships: Retail leaders view you as a credible partner who understands their delivery operation and brand expectations
Scalable growth: Large, complex retail programs are launched and expanded successfully, driving sustained revenue growth
Operational alignment: Customer commitments and operational execution remain tightly aligned, even through peak and complexity
Executive influence: You shape conversations at the enterprise level and retain long-term ownership of senior relationships
Brand protection: Delivery programs consistently support retailer service standards, customer experience, and reputation
What You Bring
Senior-level experience leading or owning final mile, home delivery, or field service operations within a national retail or consumer-facing organization
Demonstrated ability to build and sustain trusted relationships with executive leaders in corporate procurement, supply chain, or home delivery
Deep understanding of final mile delivery models, including installs, service quality metrics, damage drivers, and peak execution
Proven ability to influence outcomes through credibility, operational insight, and partnership rather than transactional selling
Preferred Qualifications
Prior experience in a senior operational or program leadership role within a national retailer or retailer-managed final mile environment
Demonstrated success shaping long-term partnerships where execution quality and trust are critical
Strong executive presence and ability to represent an organization at the enterprise level
