Working closely with operations and cross-functional teams, you will resolve service challenges, manage account risks, and support long-term customer retention.

- Analyze transportation trends, identify potential risks, and proactively address customer retention and churn concerns in collaboration with the Managed Logistics team.
- Oversee account-specific projects, measure return on investment (ROI), and clearly communicate the value delivered through logistics solutions and continuous improvement initiatives.
- Partner with Operations to identify and resolve recurring service, billing, transportation, and delivery issues, ensuring satisfactory outcomes for customers.
- Escalate critical customer concerns to leadership and coordinate follow-up actions through to resolution.
- Collaborate across internal departments to maintain efficient account operations, strengthen service delivery, and ensure alignment with customer requirements.
- Analyze transportation data and performance trends to identify opportunities for operational improvements, cost efficiencies, and expanded account value.
- Support account growth and long-term success by identifying evolving customer needs and recommending practical, data-driven logistics solutions.
Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in Supply Chain Management or a related field, or an equivalent combination of education and professional experience.
- Seven to ten or more years of experience in operational transportation solutions, with a demonstrated record of continuous improvement consulting, expanding account scope and revenue, and freight or transportation purchasing.

- Previous sales experience is beneficial, particularly in environments involving account development, customer retention, or transportation solutions.
- Experience using Transportation Management Systems (TMS) is required.
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office and the Microsoft Suite is required.
- Strong analytical skills, including the ability to evaluate transportation data and communicate clear, meaningful performance metrics.
- Excellent customer relationship management skills, with the ability to understand business priorities, maintain trust, and communicate effectively with diverse stakeholders.
- Strong problem-solving abilities and creativity in developing practical solutions to meet customer needs and resolve operational challenges.
- Effective verbal and presentation skills, including the ability to communicate confidently with groups of customers and internal employees.
- Ability to work collaboratively across departments, manage account priorities independently, and drive initiatives from identification through resolution.
- A strategic, customer-focused mindset with an emphasis on accountability, continuous improvement, and measurable business value.
Benefits:
- Full-time employment in a remote work arrangement within the United States.
- The opportunity to own strategic customer relationships and influence logistics performance and long-term account success.
