Brokerage Strategic Account Manager
TCI Transportation
📍 Location: North Richland Hills, TX
💼 Full-Time
Strong customer relationships take more than dependable service. They require someone who understands the customer’s business, asks the right questions, and turns commitments into results.
TCI Transportation is looking for a proactive Brokerage Strategic Account Manager to own the health, retention, and growth of assigned brokerage accounts. You’ll build relationships with executive decision-makers and operational teams, resolve challenges, and identify opportunities to expand the partnership.
This role combines day-to-day customer ownership with long-term account strategy. We’re looking for someone who can lead a meaningful customer conversation, recognize risks early, and follow through with a clear plan.
🎯 What You’ll Be Doing
🤝 Own the Customer Relationship
Serve as the primary point of contact for assigned brokerage accounts. Understand each customer’s immediate needs and long-term priorities, and keep service aligned with their expectations.
💬 Lead Conversations That Move Business Forward
Set clear meeting agendas, uncover customer challenges, address objections, and confirm next steps. Understand how decisions are made, engage executive sponsors, and establish a shared definition of success.
📈 Grow Existing Accounts
Identify and pursue opportunities for additional lanes, expanded service lines, and contract extensions. Connect customer needs with solutions that strengthen the relationship and grow the business.
📊 Turn Performance Into Meaningful Discussions
Monitor account results against agreed performance measures, including on-time performance, cost-per-mile, safety compliance, and driver satisfaction. Lead quarterly business reviews that demonstrate value, address risks, and highlight growth opportunities.
🛠️ Resolve Issues & Improve Service
Partner with Operations, Safety, and Pricing to address service challenges, implement solutions, and proactively improve account performance. Keep customers informed about service changes and new solutions relevant to their business.
💻 Keep Account Strategy Clear & Actionable
Maintain accurate CRM records covering decision-makers, account risks, growth opportunities, and upcoming customer interactions. Participate in forecast and pipeline reviews prepared to discuss renewal risks, expansion opportunities, and actions underway.
🚀 Support Successful Customer Launches
Coordinate onboarding and account transitions with internal teams. Document the scope, nurture the relationship, and evaluate outcomes after launch to ensure expectations translate into execution.
✅ What You Bring
Strong relationship management skills, including the ability to influence executive-level decision-makers.
Confidence leading structured customer conversations—from uncovering challenges and addressing objections to confirming priorities and next steps.
Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with the ability to interpret operational and financial performance data.
Excellent communication and presentation skills for customer meetings and quarterly business reviews.
Resilience, organization, and accountability when managing multiple accounts in a fast-paced environment.
