About the Job:

As a Strategic Carrier Procurement Representative, your core focus is driving cost savings and protecting margins by optimizing our Buy-to-Market (BtM) spread through strategic negotiation and contract management. It will be achieved by cultivating strong, trust-based carrier partnerships that secure reliable, high-quality capacity.

By serving as the bridge between our transportation partners, sales teams, and product groups, championing a "carrier-first" philosophy, you ensure we remain our carriers' partner of choice while enabling our sales team to win new business and improve service.

What You'll Do (Key Responsibilities)

  • Drive Cost Savings (Lower BtM): Protect and expand margins by consistently lowering Buy-to-Market (BtM) costs, utilizing expert negotiation strategies and securing competitive long-term contract rates with carriers.
  • Drive Growth via Carrier-First Capacity: Build and maintain deep, high-quality carrier relationships so our sales team can confidently pitch guaranteed, dedicated capacity to prospective shippers.
  • Support Sales & Volume Acquisition: Partner with customer sales teams during the bidding and RFP process. Provide real-time capacity guarantees, lane pricing, and commitments that help win new customer accounts and increase freight volume.
  • Build & Contract the Network: Source, vet, and onboard high-quality carriers across dry van, reefer, flatbed, and specialized modes, locking them into stable, cost-effective contract agreements.
  • Be the Voice of the Carrier: Gather feedback from our carrier partners regarding their experience using our digital tools, portals, or tracking apps, and share these insights with our Product and Engineering teams.
  • Collaborate on Product Design: Work closely with product managers to test, refine, and launch new carrier-facing features, ensuring our technology solves real-world driver and dispatcher problems.

Basic Qualifications:

  • Ideally 3-5+ years of experience within the carrier management, carrier procurement, carrier sales, or a related position.
  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent experience
  • A deep understanding of full truckload pricing, lane dynamics, and US freight market trends across multiple modes of freight.
  • Proficiency with data management systems and ability to present.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Hands-on experience with Transportation Management Systems (TMS), freight market intelligence tools (like DAT, Truckstop, or Sonar), and Google Sheets.
  • Experience collaborating with product, tech, or UX teams to improve software, platforms, or mobile apps is a huge plus
  • Comfort collaborating with customer-facing sales teams, joining strategic shipper calls, and using capacity as a selling tool to secure new volume.
  • Strong, confident communication skills with a proven track record of beating market averages, lowering Buy-to-Market (BtM) margins, and securing favorable contract rates within a 3PL, 4PL or a similar environment

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.
