Customer Success Manager

About Us

Logistics is broken. Let’s fix it.

We are a team of engineers, product designers, and customer champions applying the most transformative technology of our times, AI, to one of the largest industries in the world: logistics. Our mission is to streamline freight brokerage, carrier management, and 3PL operations through automation, freeing teams to focus on high-value strategic work.

We are looking for customer success leaders with deep expertise in freight, logistics, and technology implementation to help scale our impact. If you're excited about managing a high-performing team and optimizing customer workflows with AI-driven solutions, we want to hear from you.

We believe that managing is not just overseeing—it means doing the work alongside the team. We expect you to spend 30%+ of your time doing the work of CSRs. You’ll be expected to make calls, write emails, follow up, and take ownership of customer success efforts just as much as your team.

Your goal will be to ensure customer adoption, drive satisfaction, and work hands-on with brokerages, carriers, and 3PLs to integrate AI-driven automation into their workflows.

• Analyze customer data and feedback to improve AI-driven automation and identify process improvement opportunities.

• Collaborate with the Customer Success Leader (CSL) to align strategies and ensure smooth communication across teams.

Experience 

• Ability to roll up your sleeves and personally handle customer interactions—this is not just a leadership role, it's a doer role.

• Must be located in the Chicago area and be willing to work in a hybrid capacity.

• 5+ years of experience in freight brokerage, logistics, transportation technology, or 3PL operations.

• 5+ years in customer success, client support, or account management roles.

• 3+ years of experience leading customer-facing teams, preferably within logistics or SaaS environments.

• Strong knowledge of TMS systems, 3rd-party logistics platforms, and workflow automation tools.

• Experience managing large-scale customer integrations and AI-driven automation solutions.

• Background in process optimization, program management, and cross-functional leadership.
