Job Summary
Who are we
Dynamic Connections is a leading North American third-party logistics company that provides integrated solutions for our customers. Dynamic Connection creates sells and executes intelligent logistics solutions that provide peace of mind and seamless movement of our customers products. Our consistent service and communication make us an extension of our customers and provides them with a seamless stress-free transportation experience.
At Dynamic Connections we treat our employees like we treat our customers with honesty integrity and respect. We enjoy working together and making sure every day counts. We love doing team building activities like paint nights axe throwing intramural sports potlucks and more. We have a positive transparent and entrepreneurial culture. Your success is our success.
Were growing through acquisition and building the AI muscle that helps us run smarter as we scale. As a private equity-backed business we are rapidly growing. As Transformation & AI Manager you sit at the centre of both: youre the bridge between our executive team and every stakeholder touched by a new acquisition and youre a hands-on partner to our Chief Transformation Officer in finding and shipping the AI use cases that move our numbers.
This is a player-coach role split roughly 70 / 30. On theacquisition / integration side youll own the master plan for every acquisition from diligence through close through full integration and drive the cross-functional teams that make it happen. On the AI side youll hunt for high-ROI use cases acrossour core business functions(quoting track-and-trace exception handling and back-office work) pick the right tools and build lightweight automations yourself when thats faster than waiting on a vendor. Things move fast around here and change is constant so were looking for someone who thrives on ambiguity and loves turning a messy problem into a clean plan.
If youre a builder whos equally comfortable running a room of senior stakeholders and prototyping a workflow yourself and youre looking for a role where strategy execution and experimentation all live in the same job then we want you.
