Deliver unmatched experiences to usersThe opportunity:
Brokerage Operations is critical to Flexport's FTL success. The Brokerage Ops team is the bridge between the old way of connecting shippers to carriers (buy low, sell high through person to person interaction), and the new way (instantly matching the right truck for each shipment through technology). Brokerage Ops oversees the carrier acquisition process and is the face of Flexport to carriers. We have the ability to sell freight quickly and negotiate effectively, simultaneously introducing the technology that will help trucking companies streamline & scale their business.
The team comprises people from diverse backgrounds and ways of thinking. We've had great people join us from logistics backgrounds, tech sales, NCAA coaching, military, operations, commodities trading, and plenty of others. We hire people who fit the attributes and values that we hold in high regard such as outcome ownership, hustle, humility, and great communication.
