Job Description

About Us:
We are a fast-growing logistics solutions company that partners with manufacturers, distributors, and shippers nationwide. Our team helps businesses move their freight smarter, faster, and more cost-effectively, and we are expanding to bring on talented individuals with transportation leadership experience.

The Opportunity:
We’re looking for a Transportation Manager (or experienced logistics professional) who understands the challenges of freight, carrier management, and supply chain operations. This role is ideal for someone who has overseen transportation decisions, managed carrier/vendor relationships, and coordinated freight — and is ready to leverage that expertise in a new way.

Responsibilities:

  • Oversee freight coordination, routing, and carrier relationships.
  • 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.

Location:
Willis Tower, 233 S Wacker Dr, Chicago, IL 60606.
