About the position

MegaCorp Logistics is a fast-growing third-party logistics company ranked among the top 30 brokerage firms and within the top 100 logistics companies in the United States. We are seeking highly creative and motivated individuals who are committed to finding successful answers to our clients' needs. Our team boasts decades of experience in the 3PL industry, and we are looking to add more talent to our ranks. We pride ourselves on offering a competitive benefits package that includes unlimited earning potential, comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits, a matching 401(k) plan, paid time off, and many additional perks in a fun, high-energy environment. At MegaCorp, we prioritize our employees' well-being and understand that you are not just a number; we want you to thrive in a positive work environment, and we provide you with the tools necessary for success. In this position, you will develop and maintain excellent relationships with clients and carriers. You will be responsible for effectively evaluating, selecting, assigning, and servicing loads. Your role will involve partnering with clients to understand their business, products, and transportation needs, as well as maintaining relationships with primary and secondary carriers for contracted freight moves. You will research the market to evaluate loads for potential profitability, selecting or rejecting loads based on profitability and the need to maintain ongoing business relationships. Additionally, you will analyze past carrier performance, schedules, costs, and equipment availability to select the appropriate carrier for each load. As a liaison between clients, carriers, shippers, and receivers, you will evaluate potential clients and authorize agreements with approved clients. You will also respond to RFPs/RFQs as appropriate for MegaCorp's business, negotiate fixed-rate contracts, and manage constantly changing carrier rates for both the spot market and fixed-rate contracts. Monitoring the progress of loads and addressing potential in-transit issues, such as weather problems, will be crucial to ensuring timely delivery while managing costs. You will analyze and resolve in-transit issues, taking client satisfaction and costs into consideration, and ensure all fiduciary responsibilities are met, documenting all fees and costs for each load. Additionally, you will resolve client claims and receivables issues, maintain up-to-date information on MegaCorp's Transportation Management software, and promote MegaCorp's business through participation in relevant associations and conventions. Providing guidance and training to Account Manager Trainees will also be part of your responsibilities, along with other duties as required.
