Job Description
Want to be part of transforming road freight \u2013 for good? Einride is showing the world a new way to move, based on the latest digital, electric and autonomous technologies. Through freight capacity as a service, we enable businesses around the world to accelerate towards their sustainability goals.
Founded in 2016, Einride became the first company in the world to deploy a cab-less autonomous electric vehicle on a public road (Sweden, 2019). In 2022, we were the first to successfully operate such a vehicle on a US public road. Today our award-winning technology has been launched across 8 countries (and counting). Our clients are some of the world's biggest shippers, including Fortune 500 companies. We are also operating Sweden's largest truck dedicated public charging network and counting.
At Einride Logistics, we aren't just moving goods; we are re-engineering the very fabric of the supply chain. As a Regional Planner, you won't just be "dispatching" you will be the architect of a high-performance regional network. You will leverage Einride's proprietary VRP (Vehicle Routing Problem) platform, AI-driven agents, and advanced data modeling to transform massive datasets into high-revenue, high-efficiency movements. We are looking for a tech-forward self-starter who thrives where data science meets operational executio
Core Responsibilities
\u25cf AI-Driven Load Matching: Use our internal VRP platform and AI agents to manipulate large shipment datasets, identifying the most profitable loads and tenders for multiple ELI hubs.
\u25cf Revenue Chasing: Proactively hunt for high-yield freight to maximize the "yield per mile" across the regional network.
\u25cf Optimization: Balance "asset-based" capacity with brokerage opportunities, ensuring every mile driven contributes to the bottom line.
\u25cf Trend Prediction: Utilize historical data to forecast volume spikes and seasonal surges (e.g., retail peaks or harvest seasons).
\u25cf Network Equilibrium: Identify regional imbalances (truck surpluses vs. load deficits) and collaborate with the sales team to secure backhaul freight that repositions assets toward high-demand zones.
\u25cf Precision Planning: Assign loads based on real-time constraints, including Hours of Service (HOS), driver proximity, and home-time requirements.
\u25cf Deadhead Elimination: Relentlessly reduce "empty miles" through strategic routing and backhaul integration.
\u25cf Crisis Management: Act as the primary "re-planner" when variables change,
navigating equipment breakdowns, weather events, or port strikes with agile rerouting.
\u25cf Strategic Sourcing: Identify and vet high-performance third-party carriers to
supplement our internal fleet.
\u25cf Negotiation: Master the spot market and contract rates to ensure brokered loads maintain healthy margins.
\u25cf Performance Analytics: Use data-driven scorecards to monitor carrier safety and on-time performance.
\u25cf TMS Mastery: Maintain real-time accuracy within our TMS (Qargo), ensuring truck locations, driver status, and load updates are flawless.
\u25cf KPI Ownership: Monitor and report on critical health metrics, including Operating Ratio, Revenue per Mile, and Tender Acceptance Rates.
What You Bring to the Table:
The Mindset: A self-starter who treats their region like their own business. You are as comfortable talking to a driver as you are analyzing a spreadsheet.
The Tech Stack: Experience with modern TMS (Qargo preferred) and a high level of comfort using AI tools and algorithmic routing platforms.
The Skills: Strong understanding of logistics operations, HOS regulations, and freight pricing.
The Experience: 6+ years in regional planning, freight brokerage, or carrier operations optimization.
This is a onsite position on ELI Regional Hubs. We recommend that you submit your application as soon as possible since selection and interviews are held continually.
At Einride, we are innovators, building solutions the world has never seen before \u2013 but urgently needs. That's why we take action, and it's why we are always eager to be challenged. We know that our best innovations come from having a diverse mix of people, including those of different experiences, career paths, and walks of life. By coming together and sharing our perspectives openly \u2013 by disagreeing, discussing, and committing \u2013 we deliver greater impact.
