Director of Technology | $150K-$175K + Remote + Bonus + Profit Sharing | Technology-Driven Freight Forwarder

This role is fully remote.

ARE YOU READY TO TRANSFORM HOW GLOBAL SUPPLY CHAINS OPERATE?

This is not a traditional CIO or enterprise IT leadership role.

WE ARE LOOKING FOR SOMEONE WHO CAN COMBINE LEADERSHIP AND HANDS-ON SYSTEMS EXPERIENCE TO HELP BUILD HOW THE BUSINESS RUNS.

YOU WILL WORK DIRECTLY WITH THE CEO AND LEADERSHIP TEAM TO IMPROVE WORKFLOWS, MODERNIZE SYSTEMS, DRIVE AUTOMATION, AND BUILD THE LONG-TERM TECHNOLOGY ROADMAP OF THE COMPANY.

The right person for this role is excited to lead, comfortable making strategic decisions, and still close enough to the systems and operations to understand how everything works day to day.

_______________________________________________________________

Our client is a technology-driven freight forwarder that leverages modern systems and data to improve visibility, automation, and decision-making across global logistics operations.

Global logistics is one of the largest and most complex industries in the world. It moves trillions of dollars in goods every year, yet much of it still relies on manual workflows, fragmented systems, and limited visibility.

That is changing.

Our client is investing heavily in building and evolving the internal technology ecosystem that powers its operations and client experience. The goal is not to build a SaaS product, but to create a highly efficient, technology-enabled logistics operation that delivers better outcomes for customers.

They are in the middle of a major transformation:

• Migrating to a Salesforce-centered architecture
• Modernizing core operational systems and workflows
• Introducing automation and data-driven decision-making across the business
• Enhancing client experience through improved visibility and system capabilities

Culture

The company has approximately 30 employees and a tight-knit, high-trust culture built on the belief that taking care of employees leads to better outcomes for customers.

You will work directly with the CEO and leadership team as a true partner in shaping the company’s technology direction.

Company values:

• Ownership and accountability
• Collaboration and transparency
• Respect and openness
• Builders who take initiative

Benefits:

• Performance-based bonus (5%)
• Profit sharing (10% of company profits distributed annually)
• 401(k) with company match (traditional and Roth options)
• Comprehensive benefits package covering health, retirement, insurance, and financial wellness support
• Flexible, employee-first perks including generous PTO, mental health days, remote work flexibility, and team-driven culture initiatives
• Direct exposure to executive leadership
• Opportunity to shape a company-wide technology strategy

Our client is hiring a Senior Director of Technology & Digital Transformation to lead the evolution of its technology ecosystem and support the company’s next phase of growth. This is a hands-on technology leadership role inside a logistics and freight forwarding business, focused on improving real-world operational workflows across shipments, finance, and client experience.

You will be responsible for shaping the systems, architecture, and integrations that support logistics workflows across operations, finance, and client experience.

The company is currently undergoing a digital transformation, including transitioning from a legacy TMS to a modern system and further developing its Salesforce-centered environment.

You will work directly with the CEO and leadership team, not as a layer of management, but as a strategic and operational partner. Own and improve end-to-end operational workflows, not just systems, across logistics execution, tracking, and customer delivery. Your focus will be on building scalable, reliable, and effective systems that drive measurable business outcomes.

This is a hands-on leadership role in a lean environment, suited for someone who is comfortable operating across both strategy and execution.

Responsibilities

• Own and lead the company’s technology roadmap and digital transformation initiatives
• Work directly with the CEO and leadership team on technology strategy and operational improvements
• Manage and mentor a small technology team
• Improve logistics workflows, operational systems, and business processes
• Lead integrations across TMS, CRM, operational, and customer-facing systems
• Partner with operations teams to improve efficiency, visibility, and scalability
• Drive automation, AI, and data-driven operational improvements
• Support architecture, workflow, and system design decisions across the business

What This Role Is NOT

• Not a CIO or enterprise IT leadership role
• Not focused on infrastructure, cybersecurity, or governance
• Not a pure strategy or oversight position
• Not limited to managing vendors or internal IT teams

The ideal candidate is someone who has built how a logistics company actually runs, not just managed the technology behind it.

• 7 to 12+ years of experience in technology leadership within logistics, freight forwarding, or supply chain environments
• Experience leading teams and owning technology strategy in lean, fast-moving companies
• Strong understanding of systems architecture, integrations, workflows, and operational platforms
• Hands on experience improving or building logistics systems and operational processes
• Experience with TMS, Salesforce, CRM systems, and system integrations
• Experience working closely with operations teams to improve real-world logistics workflows
• Ability to balance leadership responsibilities with hands-on involvement when needed
• Strong leadership, communication, and operational problem-solving skills

Interview Process

We value thoughtful hiring and long-term fit. The interview process includes:

• Initial conversation with our team
• Direct conversation with the CEO
• Leadership interview (3-person panel interview)
• Competency-based exercise
