About Us:
Trimble is a global technology company that connects the physical and digital worlds, transforming the way work gets done. We're a market leader in logistics software, and our platforms are the engine behind the world's logistics operations.

In the Transportation & Logistics segment, our solutions make it safer, simpler, and more efficient to move freight—bringing together a global network of shippers, carriers, brokers, and 3PLs.

Develop the Core Narrative: Author and codify our foundational story—the central source code from which all other messaging will be compiled.
Create a "Story Cascade": Develop narrative branches tailored for every context, from a one-sentence opener to a full 30-60 minute keynote presentation.
Partner and Equip: Work directly with the Chief Revenue Officer and Chief Marketing Officer to embed this narrative into every facet of the business, from sales enablement to recruiting materials.
Evangelize and Refine: You'll be a key voice in high-stakes presentations, using these opportunities to hone the message and build momentum with customers, partners, and industry analysts.

Exceptional written and verbal communication skills with the ability to act as a poised and compelling presenter.
