Regional Planner

Einride is a pioneer in autonomous, electric freight technology, connecting global communities with zero‑emission solutions since 2016. The company has deployed cab‑less autonomous electric vehicles on public roads in Sweden (2019) and the United States (2022) and went public on Nasdaq in June 2026. Today, Einride’s technology moves freight across North America, Europe, and the Middle East for leading manufacturers, retailers, logistics providers, and defense organizations.

About the Role

The Regional Planner will act as the architect of a high‑performance regional network, leveraging Einride’s proprietary Vehicle Routing Problem (VRP) platform, AI‑driven agents, and advanced data modeling to turn massive datasets into high‑revenue, high‑efficiency movements.

Core Responsibilities

• Intelligent Network Orchestration
  • AI‑Driven Load Matching: Use the internal VRP platform and AI agents to manipulate large shipment datasets, identifying the most profitable loads and tenders for multiple ELI hubs.
  • Revenue Chasing: Proactively hunt for high‑yield freight to maximize “yield per mile” across the regional network.
  • Optimization: Balance asset‑based capacity with brokerage opportunities, ensuring every mile driven contributes to the bottom line.
• Tactical Forecasting & Balance
  • Trend Prediction: Utilize historical data to forecast volume spikes and seasonal surges (e.g., retail peaks or harvest seasons).
  • Network Equilibrium: Identify regional imbalances (truck surpluses vs. load deficits) and collaborate with the sales team to secure backhaul freight that repositions assets toward high‑demand zones.
• Execution & Driver Success
  • Precision Planning: Assign loads based on real‑time constraints, including Hours of Service (HOS), driver proximity, and home‑time requirements.
  • Deadhead Elimination: Relentlessly reduce “empty miles” through strategic routing and backhaul integration.
  • Crisis Management: Serve as the primary “re‑planner” when variables change, navigating equipment breakdowns, weather events, or port strikes with agile rerouting.
• Carrier Procurement & Relations
  • Strategic Sourcing: Identify and vet high‑performance third‑party carriers to supplement the internal fleet.
  • Negotiation: Master the spot market and contract rates to ensure brokered loads maintain healthy margins.
  • Performance Analytics: Use data‑driven scorecards to monitor carrier safety and on‑time performance.
• Systems & Data Integrity
  • TMS Mastery: Maintain real‑time accuracy within our TMS (Qargo), ensuring truck locations, driver status, and load updates are flawless.
  • KPI Ownership: Monitor and report on critical health metrics, including Operating Ratio, Revenue per Mile, and Tender Acceptance Rates.

Qualifications

• Mindset: Self‑starter who treats the region like their own business; comfortable speaking with drivers and analyzing spreadsheets.
• Tech Stack: Experience with modern TMS (Qargo preferred) and high comfort using AI tools and algorithmic routing platforms.
• Skills
  • Strong understanding of logistics operations, HOS regulations, and freight pricing.
  • Analytical prowess to extract actionable stories from data.
  • Negotiation chops to secure optimal rates in a volatile market.
• Experience: 6+ years in regional planning, freight brokerage, or carrier operations optimization.
