Director Strategic Growth Jobs in Illinois

TRUCE is a mobile device software company with a strong startup spirit. Major US and international companies have trusted our mobile technology for over a decade to keep their workforces safe and productive. We are now disrupting the video telematics industry with an AI video telematics solution built differently on modern iOS and Android mobile technology. Where traditional platforms wire complex and expensive computers and cameras into the vehicle, TRUCE puts the intelligence on the phones field workers already carry and complements it with a light camera accessory.

The result is a person-first platform that always knows who's driving, follows the work from the truck onto the job site, empowers the driver to own their driving performance, coaches each individual automatically and can stop phone distraction rather than just record it — at about 50% lower cost and far easier to implement than traditional systems. Our customers are mobile field organizations, like HVAC, plumbing and electrical, landscaping, pest control, construction and specialty trades, field sales and home healthcare — running light-duty vehicle fleets.

We are a diverse, entrepreneurial team driven by a shared mission: enabling the healthy and productive use of mobile technology. We work hard, support each other, celebrate our wins, and are passionate about making an impact together.
