Job summary

Vortex Freight Systems seeks a Carrier Procurement / Capacity Specialist (Northbound México) to source capacity in Mexico for MX-USA cross-border pickups and onboard reliable carriers. You will manage documentation, track shipments, and build carrier scorecards to guide allocations.

Proficiency in English and Spanish, Excel, and a TMS or load tracking system are required. This role requires ownership, accountability, and a results-driven mindset with an on-site Monterrey location.

Qualifications

• Minimum 3 years of experience in capacity, carrier sales, carrier procurement, or ground transportation.
• Active portfolio of Mexican carriers (essential): specify how many you currently work with and how many could be onboarded within the first month.
• Experience negotiating rates and capacity, even in tight market conditions.
• Knowledge of MX-USA cross-border operations (border crossings, basic documentation, transit times).
• Knowledge of equipment types and the certifications required for pickups.
• Advanced English (daily calls and emails with US counterparts).
• Proficiency in Excel and a TMS or load tracking system.
• Availability to oversee operations until tasks are resolved, not strictly leaving at a set clock-out time.

• Prospect, negotiate rates, and onboard new carriers, ensuring all documentation is complete.
• Maintain and grow your own portfolio of reliable carriers (cross-border, drayage, door-to-door).
• Track each carrier until the pickup is fulfilled and resolve rejections, delays, or equipment shortages in real-time.
• Build and maintain a carrier scorecard (measuring on-time performance, incidents, pricing, availability, and service) and use it to guide allocation decisions.
• Coordinate with the Operations team and the Routing Specialist to track loads.
• Report available capacity, risks, and weekly results to the Northbound Operations Manager.
