Event & Marcom Coordinator

International freight didnt sound important until suddenly it was impossible to get toilet paper at supermarkets in 2020, right? Exactly. Global freight matters. Look around. Everything you wear, eat, or use comes from somewhere, and freight makes it happen. With $19 trillion of goods shipped annually, youd think global supply chains are a smoothly ticking Swiss watch. Think again. Its still mostly offline, arcane, and incredibly complex. Which is where we come in. We make global trade frictionless, building the worlds largest global freight booking and payment platform, connecting hundreds of airlines, trucking companies, and ocean liners with over 5,000 global freight companies and over ten thousand importers. Were the leading global freight booking platform, regularly appearing in top-tier media, and although were a global NASDAQ-traded company, we maintain a culture of creativity, not rigid formality.
