ABOUT THE ROLE 

As a Program manager - Carrier Engagement you’ll work on interesting responsibilities like focusing on carrier retention, engagement (including incentives, benefits, etc.) and reactivation. The role is a central function and will be based in our Berlin or Amsterdam office. You will work in close partnership with other product and program managers to ensure the best experience for our carriers

 

IN THIS ROLE YOU WILL…

  • Drive retention and reactivation efforts: You will be responsible for building the ecosystem of offerings that help a carrier manage their business and to move multiple repeat loads with sennder.
  • Decrease operating costs for carriers: our scale gives us access to partnerships and deals that wouldn’t otherwise be available to SMB carriers. You’ll need to partner with the “Value-Added Services” business development team to identify, unlock, and drive carrier adoption across a core set of key benefits. 
  • Define the segmentation strategy for “high-value” carriers: you will need to define carrier “tiers” that consider lifecycle maturity and overall engagement levels. 
  • Improve supply density and liquidity: peak periods of demand don’t always align with peak periods of supply. Finding creative ways to leverage comms and incentives to smooth these curves, and drive more supply engagement across strategic corridors will be a critical challenge. 
  • Ensure carrier quality and compliance: Our ability to deliver on promises to shippers will be a part of your responsibility. Building trigger-based, actioning frameworks that waitlist, deactivate and reactivate carrier accounts where appropriate.

 

PREFERABLY YOU ARE…

  • Experienced working across multiple dimensions of freight forwarding business, ideally in digital environments.
  • Comfortable working in hyper-growth and fast-paced environments (consulting, investment banking, PE/VC-backed companies, etc), with experience in project management and analytics. 
  • Equipped with in-depth insight into and hands-on experience in product visioning and product management, as you will influence product road-map decisions
  • Data driven and have an analytical mindset
  • Experienced in  making complex problems easy by breaking them down into many smaller tasks, driving these to the lowest cost delivery location, and ultimately “productizing” to enable machines to do the work
  • Customer centric: the best growth strategy is one that focuses on the customer. A passion for working directly with customers and leveraging customer relationships to build company strategy is a must.
