Implementation Manager

GoodShip is the AI engine powering modern transportation networks, empowering transportation teams to optimize spend and service while driving seamless collaboration across internal stakeholders and external partners.

GoodShip unifies data from loads, tenders, contracts, real-time tracking, and market benchmarks to deliver a comprehensive, intelligent view of the transportation network. Embedded intelligence proactively recommends the highest-impact opportunities to save money, improve service, and reduce spot exposure.

Teams can act instantly by renegotiating rates, refining routing guide logic, triggering carrier performance alerts, or running off-cycle bids and full-network RFPs through purpose-built procurement tools that blend automation and intelligence. The result is a continuously optimized freight network that remains agile and resilient in a dynamic market.

We’re backed by A-list venture firms and founders of industry-leading FreightTech companies, and were recently recognized in the TechCrunch AI Disrupters 60. With ample financial backing and strong traction, we’re seeking a driven and experienced Enterprise Sales Director to join us on the ground floor and help bring ultra-modern transportation technology to market.

As an Implementation Manager on the Sales team, you’ll be the technical architect at the critical intersection of sales and customer success. You’ll partner closely with Account Executives during the sales cycle to design tailored technical solutions, lead high-impact proof-of-concepts, and ensure a seamless transition from closed-won to successful implementation.

This is a high-ownership role that combines technical execution, storytelling, and real-world impact. You’ll report directly to the Senior Manager of Implementations and collaborate across teams to bring clarity to complexity—using data, empathy, and urgency to help shippers unlock the full value of the GoodShip platform.
