Job description

JOIN US →
Cornerstone Systems is seeking an Intermodal Team Lead for our Corporate Headquarters in Memphis, TN. The Intermodal Team Lead serves as a key leader within the Intermodal Operations department, providing operational guidance, coaching, and subject matter expertise while ensuring the successful execution of daily freight movements across a national network.

Since 1997, Cornerstone has operated with a simple purpose: "To Provide A Better Place For People To Work."
Cornerstone believes high performance and healthy culture can exist together. We transitioned to employee ownership because we believe ownership changes how people think. It creates accountability. Pride. Long-term commitment. Many employees have spent years building their careers here because the company believes long-term relationships, internally and externally, still matter.
Integrity, honesty, respect, loyalty, and continuous improvement are not slogans here, they are expectations.
You'll join a team that believes doing right by the customer matters more than checking boxes. A team that believes responsiveness, service, and relationships still win. A place where people genuinely care about helping customers solve hard problems and helping one another succeed along the way. If building people, strengthening systems, and helping shape what Cornerstone becomes next excites you, we hope we meet soon!
