Director of Technology | $150K-$175K + Remote + Bonus + Profit Sharing | Technology-Driven Freight Forwarder
About The Position
This is a fully remote role for a Director of Technology & Digital Transformation within a technology-driven freight forwarder. The company is investing heavily in its internal technology ecosystem to improve visibility, automation, and decision-making across global logistics operations. This role is not a traditional CIO or enterprise IT leadership position, but rather a hands-on leadership role focused on combining leadership and systems experience to help build how the business runs. The Director will work directly with the CEO and leadership team to improve workflows, modernize systems, drive automation, and build the long-term technology roadmap. The ideal candidate can bridge technology, operations, and commercial teams, is comfortable making strategic decisions, and remains close enough to the systems and operations to understand daily functions. The company is undergoing a major transformation, including migrating to a Salesforce-centered architecture, modernizing core operational systems, introducing automation, and enhancing client experience.
