- Negotiate rates and contracts with shippers to protect margin while remaining competitive
- Partner with the carrier/capacity team to ensure reliable coverage on customer lanes, especially during volume spikes or capacity crunches
- Monitor shipment performance (on-time pickup/delivery, tracking, documentation) and proactively resolve service issues
- Identify upsell and cross-sell opportunities within existing accounts (new lanes, modes, services)
- Prepare and present quarterly business reviews (QBRs) with account performance data, market insights, and growth plans
- Track account activity, opportunities, and communication in the CRM/TMS
- Stay current on freight market trends, capacity conditions, and fuel/rate fluctuations to advise customers effectively
- Collaborate cross-functionally with operations, pricing, carrier sales, and billing to ensure smooth execution
