With offices on three continents, our team is as global as our client base and we’re excited to continue building a product and service they love. Wherever you are, whichever role you play, you’re guaranteed to share your day with committed, encouraging, and resourceful team members.

  • Collaborate closely with local vendors on load planning, optimizing truck utilization, profitability, and innovative improvements;
  • Continuously identify and execute on destination communication efficiencies;
  • Review and analyze local partner rates (and aid the team in creating scalable processes for effectively doing so as we grow!);
  • Review feedback from operations teams on performance.
  • Identify Key Performance Metrics (KPIs) and ensure the LTL product meets and exceeds these performance targets

What you’ll need:

  • Degree and 1-3 years of supply chain related experience from any industry;
  • Strategic vision and ground floor execution;
  • Excellent communication, interpersonal, and organizational skills.
  • An obsession with client happiness. You succeed when they succeed.
  • Next-level attention to detail.
