  • Maintain and track short line growth opportunity pipelines, including project status, anticipated volumes, revenue potential, and implementation milestones.
  • Support joint customer development efforts through market intelligence, competitive analysis, and commercial planning.
  • Partner with Sales, Industrial Development, and Marketing teams to identify opportunities for truck-to-rail conversion, network expansion, and incremental business growth.
  • Identify trends and opportunities that improve network utilization, strengthen rail competitiveness, and enhance customer value.

Service Performance & Operational Coordination

  • Develop and maintain dashboards, scorecards, reporting tools, and KPIs related to partner performance, interchange activity, service metrics, and commercial growth.
  • Analyze interchange performance and operational trends to identify improvement opportunities and support data-driven decision-making.
  • Lead analytical efforts supporting service issue resolution, escalation management, and continuous improvement initiatives.
  • Coordinate with Operations, Network Planning, Customer Service, Marketing, and partner railroads to address service challenges and improve customer outcomes.
