Position Overview: We are seeking an ambitious, customer-focused individual to build and lead a new branch. Initially, you'll be the sole contributor, moving freight and developing your business. Moving freight within the first 30 days is critical to ensure a solid foundation.

From day one, Circle Logistics provides the support, tools, and coaching needed for your success. As you grow, you'll transition into the Branch Manager role, driving business development, building a team, and scaling revenue.

This role offers autonomy and uncapped earning potential, with financial rewards directly tied to your efforts, your branch’s growth and the growth of the company.

• Ensure that all operations run efficiently, aligning with company standards and client expectations, as you grow into a leadership role.
• Implement best practices in logistics operations, always looking for ways to improve processes and productivity as your influence within the company increases.
• As your team grows, manage and mentor your workforce, creating a positive and productive work environment that drives continued success.

Financial Performance & Growth:

• Start by driving financial performance, focusing on increasing gross profit margins and revenue.
• Monitor financial metrics and KPIs closely, making necessary adjustments to meet targets, which will become even more critical as the team grows.
• Develop and manage budgets from the outset, ensuring cost-effective operations—this responsibility will be increasingly vital as you scale and lead the branch.
• Leverage an extensive carrier network to ensure the availability of capacity and competitive pricing.
• Maintain and grow relationships with carriers, negotiating rates and terms to benefit both the branch and clients.
• Ensure compliance with all regulatory requirements and company policies in carrier management.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Logistics, Supply Chain Management, or equivalent experience.
• 3-5 years of current experience in freight brokerage, including moving loads, or a solid track record in business development and revenue growth.
