A well-established, integrated transportation and logistics provider with a strong presence throughout the Southeast is expanding its brokerage operation and looking to add a Customer Solutions Manager to its leadership team.

The company operates across brokerage, warehousing, trucking, and integrated logistics, with approximately $35M in brokerage revenue, 20M square feet of warehouse capacity across the lower 48 states, approximately 550 trucks, and 3,500 drive-in trailers. The organization has built a strong reputation for operational excellence, customer service, and long-term employee relationships.

The company is in an exciting period of growth, expanding its integrated brokerage model and leveraging its asset network and power-only capabilities to create additional capacity and customer opportunities.

The Customer Solutions Manager will lead a team of approximately 10 Account Managers/Solutions Managers, providing leadership, coaching, customer escalation support, and commercial guidance.

This is a hands on leadership position focused on improving team performance, customer retention, pricing, and profitability. The ideal candidate will be a proven people manager who can motivate an experienced team, create accountability, and help identify opportunities to improve margins and customer relationships.

A major objective for this position will be improving brokerage profitability.

The company currently operates at approximately 11.5% margins and views increasing that figure toward 12.5% as a significant measure of success. The successful leader will help the team become more strategic in quoting, customer management, accessorials, and overall margin management.
