United States (Field-based / Remote)

About the Role

As a Rail Executive at Ailit, you’ll be the bridge between our technology and the U.S. freight rail industry.

You’ll leverage your deep experience in rail operations, business development, and partnerships to drive adoption of Ailit’s battery-electric freight solutions.

This is a senior commercial and strategic role — focused on building relationships with Class I and II operators, regulators, and infrastructure partners.

What You’ll Do

  • Define route and deployment strategies for battery-electric freight in North America.
  • Translate operator needs into actionable product and business requirements.
  • Represent Ailit at industry events, regulatory forums, and commercial negotiations.
  • Support fundraising, grant, and government relations efforts related to electrification.

You might thrive in this role if you:

  • Have 10+ years of experience in rail operations, commercial, or executive roles.
  • Understand Class I/II operator economics and procurement processes.
  • Have strong networks across the North American (freight) rail ecosystem.
  • Are motivated to help modernize freight rail and accelerate the clean energy transition.
