• Lead weekly/monthly/quarterly business reviews and financial planning
• Manage stakeholder relationships across Transportation, SCOT, and FC teams
• Document and scale successful optimization patterns

A day in the life

You'll start your day analyzing network performance metrics and identifying opportunities for mode optimization. Throughout the day, you'll partner with FC teams to understand operational constraints, work with procurement on rate negotiations, and develop technical solutions with our engineering teams. You'll spend time deep diving into data to validate conversion opportunities, building business cases, and documenting findings in detailed six-pager documents for leadership review.
