About the Role
As a Billing Coordinator – Freight & Logistics, you'll be responsible for managing freight-related billing activity and helping ensure orders move efficiently from shipment through final invoicing.
You'll investigate pricing and freight discrepancies, work through order holds, review carrier and vendor invoices, communicate with Account Executives and internal teams, and coordinate with carriers such as UPS and FedEx to resolve issues.
This position requires more than simply processing invoices. You'll be expected to independently investigate problems, understand the financial impact of freight adjustments, and take ownership of issues through resolution.

• Ensure orders are properly documented before final invoicing

• Escalate complex or unresolved orders to leadership when necessary to prevent invoicing delays

Communication & Issue Resolution

• Maintain direct and professional communication with Account Executives, customers, carriers, warehouse teams, and other internal departments

• Communicate effectively with Account Executives to resolve freight and billing concerns

• Independently diagnose billing situations and work toward one-touch resolution whenever possible

• Clearly explain freight rate discrepancies and billing adjustments to internal stakeholders

• Gather the necessary information and documentation to resolve complex freight issues

• Escalate issues with clear context, supporting information, and recommended next steps

• Maintain ownership of issues through final resolution

Reporting & Performance

• Prepare, maintain, and update Excel spreadsheets used for billing, freight tracking, auditing, and reporting

What We're Looking For
Required Qualifications

• 12–18+ months of professional Billing experience or equivalent industry experience

• Ability to independently manage the invoicing of orders

• Previous experience in Billing, Accounts Payable, Accounts Receivable, Finance Operations, Logistics, Freight, or a related function

• Strong attention to detail and numerical accuracy

• Strong problem-solving and analytical skills

• Ability to investigate discrepancies and independently determine appropriate next steps

• Proficiency with Microsoft Excel, Word, and Outlook

• Strong computer and internet skills

• Effective written and verbal communication skills

• Excellent organization, time-management, and prioritization abilities

• Professional and solution-oriented communication style

• Ability to work independently while contributing effectively within a team

• Flexibility to work overtime when business needs require it

Data Entry Requirements

• Typing speed of approximately 40+ WPM

• Strong numerical and 10-key data-entry skills

• Ability to process high volumes of billing and financial information accurately

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with freight or logistics billing

• Understanding of sales orders, margins, commissions, costs, and selling prices

• Experience working in a high-volume corporate or B2B billing environment

Who Will Succeed in This Role?
You'll be a strong fit if you're the type of person who sees that a carrier charged one amount while the order reflects another and immediately wants to figure out why.
You're comfortable digging into invoices, comparing freight rates, reviewing order details, contacting carriers, and coordinating with different teams until the numbers make sense.
You don't need someone to tell you every next step. You can prioritize your workload, investigate an issue independently, communicate what you find, and take ownership of getting it resolved.
Most importantly, you understand that accurate freight billing affects more than just an invoice—it impacts costs, margins, commissions, financial reporting, and the customer experience.
