  • Strong verbal and written communication skills
  • Comfortable making a high volume of phone calls and conducting negotiations
  • Competitive, motivated, and goal-oriented mindset
  • Strong organizational and time-management skills
  • Ability to multitask and prioritize in a fast-paced environment
  • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail
  • Ability to work independently while contributing to a team
  • Proficiency with Microsoft Office and willingness to learn transportation technology and internal systems

What Success Looks Like

In this role, success means building a reliable carrier network, consistently covering freight, developing strong carrier relationships, negotiating effectively, and helping Freight Flex provide a high level of service to its customers. As you grow your carrier network and logistics knowledge, you'll have opportunities to take on additional responsibility and advance within the organization.
