Electric truck manufacturer scaling dealer networks and direct sales
ZM Trucks manufactures zero-emission urban delivery trucks and is in mid-scale growth mode: 9 of 14 open roles posted in the last 30 days, with sales and engineering hiring accelerating in parallel. The tech stack is manufacturing-grade (CATIA, NX, SolidWorks, PPAP, APQP, Six Sigma) — typical for vehicle OEMs. Active projects cluster heavily around go-to-market infrastructure (dealer recruitment, sales funnel optimization, direct conversion campaigns) and operational maturity (quality and cost reduction), signaling a company transitioning from product validation to revenue scaling.
