  • Partner with Sales, Operations, Supply Chain, Customer Service, and Finance teams to ensure successful execution of customer commitments.
  • Resolve customer concerns, billing discrepancies, pricing issues, short shipments, and documentation-related exceptions in a timely manner.
  • Monitor invoice aging and proactively follow up with customers regarding outstanding balances and payment-related inquiries.
  • Generate sales reports, dashboards, quarterly business reviews (QBRs), and customer performance metrics to support business decision-making.
  • Assist with forecasting, pipeline reporting, and other sales operations processes.
  • Identify potential upsell and cross-sell opportunities through analysis of customer activity, service gaps, and operational trends, and communicate opportunities to the appropriate sales representative.
  • Facilitate communication between customers, sales representatives, and internal stakeholders to ensure alignment and responsiveness.
  • Maintain proposal, pricing, and operational process templates while continuously identifying opportunities for process improvement.
  • All other duties as assigned to meet evolving business needs.

  • Experience: Prior experience in customer success, sales support, sales operations, account coordination, customer service, or a related business support role; experience within freight forwarding, transportation, logistics, or supply chain environments strongly preferred.
  • Strong organizational, prioritization, and project coordination skills with the ability to manage multiple tasks and competing deadlines.
  • Excellent interpersonal, written, and verbal communication skills with a strong customer-focused approach.
  • Proficiency with CRM systems, quoting platforms, transportation management systems (TMS), reporting tools, and Microsoft Excel; experience with Salesforce, CargoWise, WorldTrak, Power BI, or similar platforms preferred.
  • Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, including experience reviewing pricing information, identifying discrepancies, and validating margins.
  • Ability to collaborate effectively across cross-functional teams including Sales, Operations, Supply Chain, Finance, and Customer Service.
  • Familiarity with multimodal freight services, including ground, air, ocean, and expedited transportation is preferred.
  • Demonstrated discretion and confidentiality in handling and protecting sensitive information.
  • Technical: Proficient with common office technologies, including Windows PCs, Microsoft O365 (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) and web conferencing (Teams, Zoom, Webex, etc.)
