The Freight Receivable Supervisor is a vital leader and analyst within our accounts receivable department, stepping in to support our team and operations wherever needed.

Generate standard monthly, quarterly, annual, and ad-hoc reports (cash forecasting, month-over-month comparisons, adjustment tracking). Reconcile and distribute monthly system statements using Microsoft Dynamics Great Plains (GP). * Process Optimization & Strategy Alignment: Continuously evaluate and recommend policy improvements to enhance collection efficiency. Participate actively in the management 'buddy' system for seamless operational coverage and escalate high-risk account issues to the Director. Identify operational training gaps and skill mismatches, partnering closely with your peer supervisor to deploy targeted upskilling plans. * Cross-Functional Alignment: Spearhead resolutions with Sales, Operations, and Traffic departments to resolve systemic customer account and operational issues. Escalate critical, high-level account risks and operational roadblocks to the Director. QUALIFICATIONS * Education: Post-secondary diploma or degree in Accounting, Finance, or Business Administration. * Certification: CITT Certified Logistics Professional (CCLP) or an equivalent supply chain designation is considered a strong asset. * Experience: 1–3+ years of progressive experience in Freight Auditing and Transportation AR, with a minimum of 1–2 years in a leadership, senior auditor, or supervisory capacity. Direct experience in the transportation/logistics industry (LTL, Truckload, Intermodal) is required. * Technical Skills: Advanced hands-on proficiency with TMW and Microsoft Dynamics Great Plains (GP).
