Fractional Risk Consulting

Director of Risk, on retainer.

For freight brokerages with $50–200M in revenue who need a Director of Risk but can't justify a $180,000 hire. Twelve years of front-line freight experience, deployed part-time.

The problem

You have ops, sales, accounting. You don't have a risk director.

Your brokerage moves $50–200 million in freight a year. Carrier vetting is reactive — you check SaferWatch after something goes wrong. Double-brokering exposure is unknown until a customer complains. Insurance verification happens at onboarding, not at dispatch. Fraud patterns that a dedicated risk person would catch in week one go unnoticed for months.

You know you need this function. A full-time Director of Risk costs $120,000–$180,000 plus benefits. You can't justify the headcount. So the gap stays open — until it costs you a load, a shipper, or a lawsuit.

What you get

The Director of Risk function — without the headcount.

What this replaces: the $150,000-a-year hire you can't make yet, and the "I'll deal with it when it happens" approach that costs more.
