Freight Manager

Strategic Employment

Freight Manager

National
Full Time
Paid
  • Responsibilities

    We’re a growing multi-facility operation consolidating all freight and transportation responsibilities under a single owner for the first time. Freight activity is currently fragmented across operations, sales, and finance, and we’re looking for a hands-on freight operator who can bring consistency, cost control, and real accountability across the organization.

    Role Overview

    You’ll own all inbound and outbound freight across four facilities — from carrier management to rate negotiation to invoice accuracy. This is a hands-on role for someone who thrives in the details and wants clear ownership of a critical operational function.

    This role is onsite in Avon, MA with regular coordination remotely across West Bridgewater, Georgia, and Alabama facilities.

    What You Bring

    • 3–10 years of experience in freight, logistics, shipping, or transportation
    • Hands-on experience running a freight desk (LTL, FTL, parcel)
    • Strong carrier management and rate negotiation skills
    • Deep familiarity with freight documentation, BOL accuracy, and shipment tracking
    • Experience supporting multi-facility operations
    • Ability to audit invoices, resolve discrepancies, and improve cost control
    • Comfort partnering with warehouse teams without directly managing them
    • A process-improvement mindset — you see inefficiencies and fix them
    • ERP experience helpful (NetSuite preferred but not required)

    Benefits & Compensation

    • $75,000–$100,000 base salary
    • Opportunity to build a centralized freight function from the ground up
    • High visibility across operations, finance, and leadership
    • Potential for future administrative support as the function scales
