Account Manager – Logistics Operations
Parsel is a logistics and operations platform designed to simplify and optimize supply chain processes. By leveraging technology and customer-focused solutions, Parsel helps streamline order management, customer support, and delivery operations.
About the Role
We’re looking for a proactive, detail-oriented Account Manager – Logistics Operations to oversee carrier and driver relationships, monitor operational performance, and help resolve issues that impact service delivery.
This role goes beyond traditional customer support. While a CX Agent primarily focuses on responding to customer inquiries and resolving individual issues, this position takes a broader, more proactive approach to ensuring smooth day-to-day operations. You’ll work closely with carriers, drivers, and internal teams to identify recurring issues, investigate claims, review operational reports, and address the root causes of problems.
The ideal candidate is comfortable managing multiple stakeholders, analyzing operational data, taking ownership of complex issues, and driving improvements that strengthen overall operational performance.

- Use data and reporting insights to highlight areas for improvement and support informed decision-making.

- Work cross-functionally with internal teams and external partners to implement corrective actions.
- Proactively identify operational gaps, inefficiencies, and risks that could affect service quality or delivery performance.
- Track issues through resolution and ensure appropriate follow-up to prevent them from recurring.
Claims & Exception Management
- Investigate shipping claims, lost or damaged shipments, delivery discrepancies, and other logistics-related incidents.
- Gather relevant documentation, review shipment records, and coordinate with carriers and internal stakeholders to determine what happened.
- Manage claim follow-ups, support resolution efforts, and ensure cases are documented accurately.
- Identify patterns in claims and exceptions to recommend improvements to operational processes.
Internal Coordination & Process Improvement
- Partner with Customer Experience, Operations, and other internal teams to resolve complex cases and maintain operational momentum.
- Support escalations that require deeper investigation or coordination beyond the scope of a standard CX Agent.
- Identify opportunities to improve workflows, communication, reporting, and issue-resolution processes.
- Help establish
