LOGISTICS SPECIALIST
Alpha Zero Global Logistics | Chesterfield, MO | Full-Time
About Us
Alpha Zero Global Logistics is a transportation partner built for shippers who demand more than the status quo. With 33+ years of combined industry experience and a global partner network, we specialize in high-value and complex freight across aerospace, automotive, government, and manufacturing. Our AZL 360 Solution delivers fully customized logistics programs — from LTL and truckload to air freight, international, and warehousing — because we don’t believe in one-size-fits-all. Technology drives us, but people define us. That’s what makes us different.
What You’ll Do
• Own client relationships — act as a true extension of our customers’ teams. You’ll be the trusted point of contact for key accounts, delivering proactive communication, anticipating needs, and ensuring every shipment reflects the standard our clients expect.
• Drive carrier sales and capacity development — prospect, onboard, negotiate, and cultivate carrier relationships to build a deep, reliable network with competitive rates and consistent service.
• Grow revenue within existing accounts — identify opportunities to position Alpha Zero’s full suite of services (brokerage, TMS, warehousing, parcel management) and turn one-time wins into long-term partnerships.
• Negotiate rates and secure capacity across multiple freight modes (FTL, LTL, air, ocean, intermodal), balancing cost with service quality.
• Manage end-to-end shipment execution — from booking through delivery confirmation, exception management, and follow-up.
• Coordinate domestic and international freight movements, including cross-border shipments to Mexico and Canada.
• Be the voice of Alpha Zero — every call, email, and update is a reflection of our brand. You set the tone for how clients and carriers experience working with us.
• Leverage TMS platforms to manage loads, track shipments in real time, and maintain accurate operational records.
• Handle carrier compliance — verifying insurance, authority, safety ratings, and regulatory requirements.
• Support invoicing, accounts receivable follow-up, and billing reconciliation tied to shipments.
What We’re Looking For
• 3–5+ years in freight brokerage, logistics, or transportation management. You know the industry.
• A relationship-driven seller — you know how to earn trust, build a carrier book, and keep clients coming back. You’re comfortable picking up the phone and making things happen.
• Client-first mentality — you understand that retention and growth start with communication, follow-through, and genuinely caring about the customer’s business.
• Proven ability to negotiate competitive rates and manage carrier performance.
• Strong working knowledge of TMS platforms (TAI, Turvo, or similar).
• Solid understanding of freight modes, BOLs, PODs, shipping documentation.
• Sharp problem-solver who stays composed under pressure and can manage multiple priorities simultaneously.
• Highly organized with strong attention to detail on data entry, documentation, and invoicing.
• Bachelor’s degree preferred — but experience and results speak louder.
Bonus Points
• Experience in aerospace, defense, automotive, or government logistics.
• Existing carrier relationships you can bring to the table.
• Knowledge of UPS, FedEx, and DHL parcel and freight platforms.
• UCR, carrier vetting, and DOT compliance experience.
Why Alpha Zero?
• A role where your skills and client relationships directly drive company growth.
• High-profile client base across aerospace, defense, and manufacturing.
• Competitive compensation with room to grow.
• A team that works hard, moves fast, and has each other’s backs.
