Convoy is transforming the $800 billion trucking industry, where even 10 years ago, most truck drivers did not have smartphones and paper driver logs were common. In 2015, Convoy launched the digital freight movement with an open and fully connected marketplace for brands and manufacturers to work directly with freight carriers who move truckload shipments throughout the country. This ‘Digital Freight Network’ is powered by machine learning and automation, and supported by a broad, ever-growing set of features that benefit both sides of the marketplace.


We’ve been honored to work with some great companies, such as Unilever, The Home Depot, and Procter & Gamble. We’ve also been backed by world-class investors, including Google, YCombinator, Fidelity, Greylock Generation, Lone Pine, T. Rowe Price, Baillie Gifford and the founders and CEOs of Amazon, Salesforce, eBay, LinkedIn, Expedia, Dropbox, Starbucks, and others. We are proud to have been named a CNBC Disruptor 50 Winner (3x), a Fast Company World Changing Idea, a LinkedIn Top Startup, a Forbes' Best Startup Employer, one of Fortune Magazine's 'Impact 20' list, a best place to work in Washington State, a BloombergNEF Pioneer winner, and more.


This is your opportunity to collaborate with an incredible group of people and help transform the freight industry. Join Convoy and help us transport the world with endless capacity and zero waste.



About the team: 

The Marketplace Growth organization is a centralized team that optimizes across supply, demand, and operations to achieve company financial and growth goals through Market Development, Portfolio Management, Pricing, and novel Growth Programs. This role will be part of the Portfolio Management team within Marketplace Growth. The Portfolio Management team continually assesses the forward-looking risk and opportunity of Convoy’s portfolio of freight across a range of market scenarios, and turns those assessments into actionable recommendations and policy. The team drives Convoy towards vertical shipment, margin, portfolio risk, and network goals in partnership with cross functional teams.


About you:

As a Senior Portfolio Manager for the Marketplace Growth team, you will be responsible for maximizing Convoy’s business outcomes as it relates to contribution margin dollars within a vertical portfolio of freight. You will also be responsible for maximizing the portfolio’s value and balancing the risks of programs and initiatives that support the company strategy and vertical growth. You will partner closely with the Sales and Account Management teams and will be a leader in guiding investments in various programs and projects against the company’s strategic plans and goals.

You will:

  • Set Strategy: Guide Convoy’s growth through short term and long term portfolio decisions in line with Convoy’s mission.
  • Innovate: Develop a best-in-class system for driving bottom line results, empowering account managers to maximize locally while optimizing guardrails to ensure successful global results.
  • Collaborate: Partner with the Shipper, Product, Finance, Supply, and Operations teams, influencing with and without authority, to operate as one cohesive team.
  • Problem Solve: Explore and identify optimization opportunities within the inner-workings of our systems and drive scalable solutions.
  • Execute: Use data to influence across teams, as well as identify and respond to risks and high-priority issues rapidly and effectively within a highly dynamic work environment.

We're looking for someone who has:

  • 7+ years building and collaborating and influencing cross-functional teams to achieve overarching organizational goals
  • Ability to build and develop something scalable where nothing existed before
  • Strong leadership skills - you can set the tone for a team, driving towards results while also being compassionate
  • Experience with driving a project from inception to completion through all stages of the life cycle. 
  • Strong data fluency and sound business judgment through analytical thinking
  • Comfortable with data analytical skills (SQL, Excel and/or similar)
