About the role
Position: Senior Director of Operations | Freight Brokerage Reporting Location: Fort Wayne, IN If you are built to own an entire brokerage operation — not just manage a team — this is your seat. We are seeking a Senior Director of Operations to oversee and scale enterprise-level freight brokerage operations across multiple accounts and teams. This is a true executive-level opportunity designed for an operator who understands margin, execution, scalability, and accountability at scale. Build, restructure, and optimize multi-site and remote operations teams. This is a growth mandate — not a maintenance role.
What you'll bring
- 8 years in direct freight brokerage operations (non-asset based required)
- Proven leadership over multi-team brokerage environments
- Experience managing volume-driven, fast-paced freight networks
- Strong financial acumen — deep understanding of GP, margin optimization, and cost controls
- Spot bid & RFQ oversight experience at scale
- Track record of building and leading high-performance operational teams
- Ability to drive accountability without micromanagement
- Executive-level communication and decision-making skills
- Asset-based or carrier-only experience will not be considered.
- This is pure brokerage leadership.
