The Opportunity

We are a growing freight brokerage operating across all modes — truckload, LTL, drayage, and intermodal. We move freight for real customers, we have a solid operational foundation, and we are ready to grow. What we have not yet cracked is a repeatable sales motion.

This role exists because we need someone who can build that motion from scratch — not inherit a brand, not manage a team that already exists, but come in, sell, figure out what works, and then scale it. That means you will be carrying a bag yourself while simultaneously developing the system, the playbook, and eventually the team that makes us a sales-driven company.

  • Define what ‘good’ looks like for a salesperson at this company — activity metrics, pipeline standards, conversion benchmarks
  • Identify where our current...
