What are the responsibilities and job description for the Logistics Specialist II (Transportation Management) (Hybrid) position at Uber Freight?
Schedule: FT
Job Type: Hybrid
Salary Type: Hourly
Req #: 2460
About The Role
Uber Freight is seeking motivated professionals with experience in transportation, logistics, or supply chain to join our team.
In this role, you will support the day-to-day movement of freight for one dedicated customer, working as part of a collaborative team. This is not a sales role—you will not be responsible for building your own book of business. Instead, you’ll focus on executing and managing shipments to ensure they move smoothly, on time, and cost-effectively.
You’ll take ownership of shipment execution from start to finish, including scheduling, communication, and problem-solving, while partnering closely with teammates, carriers, and stakeholders. This team-based environment ensures you have support, shared knowledge, and collaboration, rather than working independently.
This is a great opportunity for candidates who enjoy operational work, problem-solving, and teamwork in a fast-paced logistics environment.
This role follows a Monday–Friday schedule and a hybrid work model (three days in office, two days remote), based out of our Rogers, AR office.
What You’ll Do
Employees working more than 30 hours in the US at Uber Freight are eligible for benefits like a company sponsored health plan, dental and vision benefits, 401k match, financial and mental wellness benefits, parental leave, short- and long-term disability coverage, life insurance and more. US based employees may also be eligible for a performance or sales incentive bonus program, participation in Uber Freight equity awards, and other types of compensation depending upon the role.
