Who We Are

GoodShip is the all-in-one platform for freight orchestration and procurement, 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 Disruptors 60, FreightWaves FreightTech 25 and the BCV x Headline Vertical SaaS 50. With ample financial backing and strong traction, we’re seeking a driven and experienced Implementation Manager to join us on the ground floor and help bring ultra-modern transportation technology to market.

About the Role
