Logistics Specialist

About the role

The LTL team is expanding its sales coverage, and this Logistics Specialist role exists to meet that bandwidth. You'll work alongside a broad cross-section of the sales team, supporting their accounts with precision and pace.

Responsibilities

• Support the sales team across a wide range of accounts, adjusting priorities as the day demands it
• Communicate professionally with sellers, carriers, drivers, and customers, calibrating your tone and approach to your audience
• Manage load entry, tracking, reporting, and account activity within internal systems
• Take ownership of your accounts and work to continuously improve your speed and accuracy, including how quickly you can build out a load
• Work both collaboratively with teammates and autonomously when the situation calls for it

Requirements

• Strong written communication skills: your emails and internal messages to the sales team, carriers, and customers need to be concise, professional, and audience-appropriate
• The ability to prioritize and focus on multiple things simultaneously without losing accuracy
• An attention to detail, especially under volume and pressure
• A self-starter mentality: the team is collaborative, but there will be times you need to operate independently without being hand-held
• The ability to communicate confidently across a range of personalities, including drivers who operate very differently from your internal counterparts

Qualifications

• Nice to have: Experience at a brokerage or in supply chain (strong asset), a background in business administration or another field that required prioritizing tasks and managing competing demands, and a track record that demonstrates grit

Benefits

• Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans
• 401(k) retirement plan with up to 5% company match
• Pre-tax accounts for eligible expenses
• Company-paid disability and life insurance
• Employee Assistance Program (EAP)
• Career and Leadership Development Programs
• Paid time off, company holidays, and volunteer days

Pay

$50,000 base salary plus a monthly production-based bonus paid on the last Friday of each month, tied to team gross volume and targets
