- Use your transportation/logistics expertise to identify cost-saving and efficiency opportunities.
- Serve as the main point of contact for carriers, vendors, and external partners.
- Develop strategies to streamline logistics operations and improve service levels.
- Build strong professional relationships and act as a trusted advisor to businesses moving freight.
Qualifications:
- 2+ years of experience in transportation management, shipping/receiving, dispatch, or logistics coordination.
- Knowledge of carrier networks, freight markets, and supply chain processes.
- Strong problem-solving and organizational skills.
- Excellent communication and relationship-building abilities.
What We Offer:
- Career growth opportunities beyond transportation management.
- Mentorship and training to expand your skill set into account management.
- Competitive compensation ($65,000-$75,000 base + performance-based bonuses, uncapped earning potential).
- Join a collaborative team that values transparency, reliability, and innovation.
