🏢 About Ofload

About This Role

As a Carrier Growth & Success Manager, you will be the key link between Ofload and its carrier network, responsible for sourcing, onboarding, and managing relationships to ensure a high-performing, scalable network.

💡 A Day in the Life

A typical day might start with reviewing carrier performance dashboards and identifying underperforming partners to engage with.

Afternoons are spent analyzing pricing data to adjust rates for existing accounts and preparing reports on network KPIs for leadership.
