Job Description

Account Manager

Office: Knoxville, TN

Reports To: Management

Job Summary:
The Account Manager serves as the central point of contact for customers and carrier partners, driving seamless communication, operational efficiency, and strategic account growth in a fast-paced logistics environment. This role combines customer relationship management, carrier coordination, freight matching, and technology utilization to deliver exceptional service while maintaining profitability. The Account Manager is responsible for onboarding new customers and carriers, negotiating competitive rates, ensuring timely freight movement, and leveraging Transportation Management Systems (TMS) and Customer Relationship Management (CRM) tools to optimize processes and exceed expectations. The role demands a customer-centric mindset, strong organizational skills, and the ability to thrive under pressure while meeting ambitious performance goals.

Key Responsibilities:

Build and maintain trusting relationships with customers and carriers to ensure satisfaction, address concerns, and align services with specific freight needs.
Match freight loads with carrier capacity to ensure timely pick-up and delivery, minimizing load board postings by using Core Carriers.
Generate accurate rate quotes based on market trends and internal metrics, negotiating competitive rates with carriers to maintain profitability.
Act as the primary point of contact, coordinating with Operations and Track and Trace teams to provide timely shipment updates.
Drive account growth by identifying cross-selling and upselling opportunities, expanding the volume and range of services offered.
Actively reach out to new sales prospects to onboard new customers.
Use rating tools to timely and accurately reply to customer’s rate requests.
Stay informed on industry trends, rates, and capacity fluctuations to provide consultative insights to customers and carriers, using feedback to refine offerings.
Stringently vet carriers to prevent double brokering and ensure compliance with insurance and Broker Carrier Agreement requirements.
Maintain accurate and up-to-date customer and carrier records in TMS and CRM systems, leveraging TMS for market insights and streamlined freight booking.

Requirements:

Education & Experience: Bachelor’s degree in business, logistics, supply chain management, or a related field preferred, or equivalent professional experience. Some logistics experience required, with a proven track record in customer relationship management and/or carrier negotiations. Experience with TMS and CRM software is highly desirable.
Technical Skills: Proficiency in TMS and CRM systems for managing records, freight booking, and market insights. Familiarity with load boards, freight-matching platforms, and Microsoft Office (Excel, Word) for documentation and reporting. Ability to analyze market trends and generate competitive rate quotes.
Soft Skills: Exceptional verbal and written communication skills to serve as the primary point of contact. Strong interpersonal and negotiation skills to build trust and secure favorable rates. Quick problem-solving and resourcefulness to resolve issues and prevent disruptions. Excellent time management to prioritize tasks and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment.
Industry Knowledge: Understanding of freight logistics, including market rate fluctuations, carrier capabilities, and specialized equipment (e.g., hopper bottoms, tankers, flatbeds, hot shots, drayage). Awareness of compliance requirements, such as carrier vetting and insurance verification.
Collaboration & Teamwork: Strong coordination skills to align customer needs with carrier availability, working closely with Operations, Sales, and Track and Trace teams.
Attention to Detail: Meticulous in maintaining accurate TMS/CRM records, verifying documentation, and ensuring third-party portal updates for high Carrier Scorecard ratings.
Adaptability & Initiative: Proactive in identifying account growth opportunities, adapting to market changes, and implementing feedback to enhance experiences.
Other Qualifications: Comfort with technology, including learning tools like McLeod or Highway (training provided). Ability to handle high-pressure situations, such as managing “hot loads” and resolving service issues promptly. Strong organizational skills to manage multiple accounts and ensure operational excellence.
Preferred: Experience in freight brokerage or third-party logistics (3PL) environments. Familiarity with McLeod or Highway is a plus. Commitment to achieving goals like 90% on-time delivery.
