*Our client is operating on an in-office work model. For this role, they are flexible for those located outside of the city. Their office is located in Waterloo, ON.*
Our client is a Freight Brokerage that operates throughout North America. As a brokerage, our client does not handle the physical goods, they simply negotiate the best possible price on behalf of their clients, take a fee for doing so, and ensure that the shipment runs smoothly from A to B. The company was founded in February 2019. They are a younger team that come from a variety of different industries/backgrounds. This makes for a corporate culture similar to one of a tech startup. They have shown fast growth in the logistics space with the intentions of continuing to grow at the same pace. Everyone is committed to their roles and the company’s success, however casual dress, consistent office banter, and team lunches make it an enjoyable spot to come into work each day!
