I'm seeking a fully remote role where I can apply my expertise in financial operations, process improvement, data analysis, and cross-functional collaboration to solve business challenges. While my background is in transportation and logistics, I'm excited to bring these transferable skills to any industry and help organizations improve efficiency, reduce costs, and scale operations.
Kenneth Vega
@kennethvega
Transportation Finance Analyst with 4+ years auditing $8.4M+ freight spend, improving processes, and recovering transportation costs.
What I'm looking for
I help logistics companies protect their transportation budgets by auditing freight spend, recovering billing discrepancies, and improving financial operations.
Over the past 4+ years, I have audited more than $8.4 million USD in annual freight spend, reconciled 300+ high-value carrier invoices every week, and supported the processing of 2,500+ weekly freight invoices across complex U.S. transportation networks.
At CJ Logistics America, I specialize in freight audit, transportation finance, contract validation, accessorial review, NMFC classification, tariff compliance, and carrier invoice dispute resolution. My work ensures billing accuracy, reduces unnecessary transportation costs, and strengthens financial controls across enterprise logistics operations.
I am passionate about improving processes through data and automation. I led the Hubtran Roadmap initiative, resolving more than 100 system issues and helping reduce manual invoice processing from 51.6% to 11.8%, significantly increasing operational efficiency and visibility.
Beyond technical expertise, I enjoy collaborating with cross-functional teams across Finance, Operations, IT, Carrier Relations, and OS&D. I have also trained and mentored new analysts, helping them develop strong transportation finance and freight auditing skills.
My toolkit includes SAP, Transportation Management Systems (TMS), TriumphPay, Hubtran, Advanced Excel, freight payment platforms, and transportation financial analysis.
I am fluent in English and Spanish, with conversational Portuguese, and I am currently seeking fully remote opportunities where I can help organizations improve freight payment accuracy, optimize transportation costs, and build more efficient logistics finance operations.
