What we’re looking for:
* A dynamic, motivated sales-minded freight professional.
* A background in internal freight sales, field-based business development, or freight operations/account management (bonus points for air, ocean, or road freight experience).

* A self-starter who thrives in both independent and collaborative work environments.
* A strategic thinker with a creative edge (because let’s make this industry even more exciting).
What’s in it for you?
