Make Global Trade Easy for Everyone…Every Day

The opportunity

Flexport’s mission is to make global trade easy for everyone, and that starts with the client onboarding experience. Two key questions your work will impact for clients: “Where’s my stuff?” and “When will it get here?”. The work that you do will help your clients answer these questions quickly and effortlessly.

We are looking for the right person to drive Program Management across post sale activity including onboarding and implementation, client success, and client support for our Commercial Products team within the Order Management and Visibility space. You will partner with Product Managers, Operations, Business Development, Analytics, and our business teams to deliver world-class solutions to simplify global trade complexities and automate where possible. You will be part of the team helping to expand and deliver best in class Order Management and Visibility products and help grow Flexport to be not only the top freight forwarder, but the platform for global trade, making trade easy for everyone.

Location

Bellevue, WA; Chicago, IL; San Francisco, CA

You will:

Deep dive to process review existing activity from winning a customer to start of operations for your commercial product(s).
Work independently to develop programs that standardize activity from onboarding, to operational launch, to managing client success that enable your commercial product(s) to scale.
Constantly look for ways to improve post-sale activity for your product(s) so it helps fulfill its promise to the business
Set a high bar with the program standards you deliver, that we will use to scale other commercial products at Flexport
Identify opportunities with potential for automation to replace manual work and drive necessary change with both business and tech stakeholders
Drive simplification of your product(s) activity, facilitating expert delivery by our operation and ease of use of our customers.

You should have:

Business acumen - You know the levers of the business, how to relate the work of this role all the way up to the company’s financial health. You can articulate the reasons for software investments and/or process changes to any level stakeholder.
Dive Deep superpowers - You are naturally curious and want to understand how Flexport’s software functions. You use the “5 Why” framework or similar paradigms to challenge current means. You get your hands dirty and sweat details to find root causes.
A relentlessly data-driven and highly data literate mindset - delivering products that delight clients starts with you. You know that making decisions needs both customer anecdotes and customer data. BI tools and SQL are your friends, not just a tool of the job.
Bias for Action: Once you’ve dived deep through data to find key insights, you build a plan and go on the offense to drive improvements. You’re not someone who needs things spelled out for them or is uncomfortable with ambiguity.
Strong communication skills - you can write clearly, speak intelligently, and guide stakeholders along as you guide them through a journey
A love to play the long game - You can see around corners and plan 2-3 steps ahead in terms of what needs building so your customers find success using your products. You relentlessly defend your roadmap from distractions and can stay the course
Domain knowledge: You’re familiar with the ins and outs of how customers and operators interact with our product - their day to day work, what incentivizes them, preferred methods of working, nature of the industry, and regional nuances.
