What It's Like to Work at FourKites

Leaving my previous job after nearly 9 years was a really difficult decision but the transition was easy largely due to the incredibly supportive team members here at FourKites. I am grateful everyday to be able to work with such professionals.

I love seeing how customers are using the product we've built and how it directly impacts someone's life. We wouldn't be able to delight our customers without my innovative teammates, who roll with the punches and constantly go above and beyond. I am lucky to be surrounded by such a great group of people.

I'll never forget the opportunity I had to solve some of the hardest problems in supply chain technology with customers and contributors around the world. FourKites is truly a place where hard work and business empathy can open doors in your career.

What I love most about my job is the impact it has in the real world! Our customers rely on FourKites to keep critical products on shelves, and I love playing a part in keeping the global supply chain running smoothly.

We find that getting to know what motivates a team member allows us to give more valuable and appreciated rewards and recognition. It could be a team meeting shout out for a job well done, a gift card through our wish list program, an exciting new project that allows the employee to work with new teams or departments or even a spot bonus.

From day one, I have been encouraged to explore my professional interests. I had only been an individual contributor in previous roles but was interested in people management – here, I have had the opportunity to grow into a manager role and the company has sponsored my participation in leadership programs to support my professional development.

I had the privilege of being involved in the development of Appointment Manager and providing feedback when it was just a "simple" calendar designed to assist our customers in organizing appointments based on real-time ETAs. The utilization of this tool yields significant time savings, making it an undeniable favorite of mine.

The design team goes beyond being creative. We are strategic thinkers who execute scalable and sustainable product user experiences for our customers. Empathy is at the core of our design and more importantly, the entire FourKites company. I always encourage my team to think through our customer's lens in order to be the most impactful.
