Human Resources Business Partner
About The Position
WebCargo digitizes global freight sales for over 3,500 of the world’s largest logistics providers and carriers. Or, in plain English, we help move the world, offering incredible technology that powers almost a third of the global air cargo market, helping logistics players around the world digitize how they price, book and sell freight.
We’re not alone either.
WebCargo is a proud part of the Freightos Group, a logistics technology company that aims to make global trade frictionless. We work with some of the largest companies in the world, are regularly featured in top-tier publications, make our families proud and are traded on the Nasdaq (CRGO)
