  • Lead High‑Value / High‑Risk (HVHR) governance, escalation thresholds, and enhanced handling controls.
  • Embed preventive controls at pickup, terminal handling, linehaul, and delivery.
  • Lead, coach, and develop geographically dispersed, remote teams; establish clear expectations, KPIs, and accountability.
  • Build bench strength through succession planning, professional development, and consistent performance management.
  • Own claims and loss prevention analytics, dashboards, executive reporting, and financial leakage analysis.
  • Present concise, actionable insights and ROI‑based recommendations to executive leadership.
  • Own claims and loss prevention SOPs, audits, and corrective action follow‑up to ensure enterprise‑wide compliance.
  • All other duties as assigned to meet evolving business needs.

  • Education: Bachelor’s degree in Business, Supply Chain, Risk Management, or a related field from an accredited college or university required.
  • Certification/Licensure: None required; professional designations such as CPCU, ARM, or similar are a plus.
  • Experience: 8+ years’ progressive experience in Claims, Loss Prevention, Risk, or Transportation Operations.
  • Leadership: 5+ years of experience leading remote or multi‑location teams.
  • Strong working knowledge of LTL transportation, carrier liability, and claims defense principles.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
