Account Operations Manager
The Account Operations Manager leads a dedicated operations team for a set of FreightPlus customers and serves as the operations expert for those accounts. Your time splits evenly between two jobs: leading the team across Load Planning, Live Audit, Freight Payment Audit and Disputes, and Tracking, so every load for your accounts is planned, moved, tracked, and paid correctly; and owning account performance, tracking service levels and customer sentiment, driving continuous improvement, and partnering with our Customer Success team as the operations voice for your customers. This is a management role, not a bigger individual-contributor job. It is built for someone who knows freight execution firsthand and is ready to lead people, own results, and build a track record that leads to senior operations leadership.
