Launch Manager

Rent.fun is creating the future of outdoor recreation.

Who doesn’t love the feeling of launching a kayak on a lake at sunset? Or playing cornhole with friends at the park?

But purchasing your own equipment gets expensive. Lugging it to the park on your car is a pain.

Rent.fun’s self-service rental lockers make outdoor recreational equipment available at the touch of a button, wherever and whenever you want to use it.

Our first product is a self-service kayak rental station (think kayak vending machine by the waters edge).

Scan a QR code. Unlock and and rent a kayak.

In the past 12 months, we’ve quickly become the market leader of this emerging industry -- launching 30 kayak rental stations in premier waterfront parks across 15 states.

We are currently seeking a Launch Manager to help install our rental stations across the US.

This is not a job for someone who likes to sit behind a desk…. this is a job for someone who loves the open road, breathing fresh air, seeing new places, and working with their hands.

Job responsibilities include:

• You will spend approximately 15-20 days on the road each month transporting equipment and working with our local technicians to assemble and install kayak rental stations at our customer locations.
• You will be responsible for loading, unloading, and driving box trucks - varying in size from 16 feet to 26 feet.
• Each road trip will begin at our warehouse in Wichita, Kansas - where our warehouse team will help you load up the truck with your kayak rental stations. You will drive around the country to our contracted install sites (mostly in the midwest). Once you arrive on site, you will lead the assembly, troubleshooting, and testing of the equipment (kayak rental station). For each install, you will be supported by a one of our local technicians to help with unloading and assembly.
• You will coordinate with our customer contacts (city governments) to ensure that we are installing in the right locations / right position.

You are a good fit for this position if:

• You love the open road and have a flawless driving record.
• Experience driving large vehicles (16 ft, 20 ft, or 26 ft box truck)
• You enjoy working with heavy equipment, but you’re also tech-savvy… you can do just about anything on your smartphone.
• You know how to fix stuff - and love doing it.
• You are always trying to build a better mousetrap. You love to figure out a better way to do things.
• You’re good with people - you like talking to co-workers and customers, both on the phone, and in person.
• You remain professional and kind in all your interactions.
• You’re a natural leader and a great communicator.
• You’re looking for a challenging position where you will learn new skills and progress your career.
• You are never satisfied with the status quo, you always want to push yourself towards bigger and better things.
