We are hiring a Senior Transportation Leader to lead our brokerage floor. This is a hands-on leadership seat, not a corner office. You will be on the floor listening to calls, coaching negotiations, rebuilding the systems the team runs on, and stepping in on the hard loads when it counts. Today that means leading a team of brokers + support staff. As we grow, it means building the bench and the playbook that lets us scale without breaking service. What You Will Own Lead, coach, and develop a team of full truckload brokers covering reefer and dry van freight Run a daily and weekly performance rhythm: coverage percentage, margin per load, load count, on-time pickup and delivery, carrier retention Build, document, and enforce the SOPs and playbooks for quoting, carrier sourcing, tendering, tracking, and problem loads Coach brokers off price-only selling. Hard freight (multi-stop, tight delivery windows, rural pickups) gets covered by selling the reload, the destination market, and the relationship, not by winning a price war and hanging up Own carrier development: deepen the core carrier base, reduce load board dependence on repeat lanes, and hold carriers accountable to service standards Train new brokers from day one through full ramp, and set the standard for what good looks like on this floor Partner with ownership and sales on lane strategy, pricing discipline, and capacity before freight gets committed Own escalations end to end: service failures, temperature claims, detention disputes, and customer recovery Interview, hire, and build the team as the brokerage grows What We Are Looking For 5+ years of experience in transportation/logistics A builder, not just a firefighter. You write the process, you train it, and you inspect it Direct, competitive, and coachable.
