Area Revenue Manager - Transportation

It's more than a job

As a finance professional at Kuehne+Nagel, your work includes managing budgets, strategic planning, and overseeing financial operations. You also help make ordinary and special moments possible for people around the world. Because your financial diligence allows your colleagues across the company to stay focused on the core of their work, whether it's getting vital healthcare products to those who need them or fresh fruit to children playing in the park. Finance work at Kuehne+Nagel, means more than we imagine.

The right candidate will have a continuous improvement mindset and a tendency toward 5S in the workplace.

The Revenue Manager will lead our Transportation Billing function. This role manages both Customer Billing (AR billing) and Carrier Payables (AP) teams to ensure customers are invoiced accurately and on time and carriers are paid correctly and on schedule across Parcel, LTL, and FTL. You will own billing execution and dispute resolution while driving a TMS-first approach to reduce manual work, improve data quality, and strengthen financial visibility.

How you create impact

• Lead recurring billing cycles (monthly and/or weekly) for Parcel, LTL, and FTL
• Ensure invoices align to TMS rating, customer tariffs, carrier tariffs, and billing templates (fuel, accessorials, minimums, dimensional or zone logic)
• Meet customer submission requirements (EDI, portals, consolidated billing, required references)
• Maintain strong billing controls including validations, documentation standards, and duplicate prevention
• Own customer billing disputes end to end, including investigation, documentation, and timely resolution
• Own carrier payables execution to ensure accurate and on-time carrier payments
• Validate carrier invoices against TMS shipment records and contracted terms; resolve exceptions prior to payment
• Manage carrier inquiries including remittance, short-pay claims, missing backup, accessorial and rate discrepancies
• Partner with Procurement or Carrier Management to enforce tariff adherence and reduce repeat discrepancies
• Implement AP controls and exception workflows to reduce rework and prevent duplicate payments
• Identify repeat issues and drive root-cause fixes with Operations and IT
• Partner with Operations to ensure the TMS is the source of truth for shipments, milestones, and billing readiness
• Provide profitability visibility (customer, mode, lane, service) and identify margin leakage
• Support month-end projections and performance inputs for Turnover, Costs, Gross Profit, and Net Profit
• Support new business and onboarding by validating billing feasibility and helping with setup and testing (tariffs, templates, master data)
• Directly manage AP and AR billing staff including coaching, workload planning, and performance management
• Establish SLAs and KPIs for invoice accuracy, dispute cycle time, AP on-time payment, and exception rates
• Build a proactive, continuous improvement culture focused on prevention and automation

What we would like you to bring

• 5-7 years’ experience in transportation billing or transportation finance with ownership of billing and disputes
• 5-7 years of experience with US transportation billing for Parcel, LTL, and FTL, including tariffs and common accessorials
• 5+ years of experience with revenue and cost drivers, margin analysis, and month-end support
