Account Manager – Last Mile, Logistics & Warehousing

About WorkWhile

WorkWhile is on a mission to help workers earn a better living and live better lives. 83 million Americans work hourly jobs, often with unpredictable schedules that pay close to minimum wage and offer limited benefits, leading to financial instability.

WorkWhile identifies the best hourly workers and matches them with shifts that fit their skills, location, and life. Businesses get access to a quality workforce, while workers get stable income and unmatched benefits, including next day pay, free telehealth services, and financial services.

We have the audacious goal to align incentives and solve inefficiencies in the labor market, disrupting the $650 billion staffing and recruiting market. Backed by Khosla Ventures and recognized by the Inc. 5000 for 10x growth, WorkWhile is reshaping the future of work.

Role Summary

WorkWhile is looking for an Account Manager to join our Last Mile, Logistics & Warehousing pod and build long-term, trusting relationships with our clients. This role is focused on managing a portfolio of accounts – from last-mile delivery providers and 3PLs to warehouse, distribution, and e-commerce fulfillment operators – ensuring they have the right forklift operators, pickers and packers, and drivers to keep operations running smoothly, especially during peak seasons, volume surges, and new site launches.

You will serve as the primary point of contact for your clients, driving satisfaction, retention, and growth while acting as a strategic partner who understands the fast-paced, throughput-driven nature of logistics operations.

Ensure timely and successful fulfillment of shifts and workforce solutions in line with client expectations and SLAs

Communicate the progress of weekly, monthly, and quarterly workforce initiatives clearly to both internal teams and client stakeholders
