- Partner with internal operations and solutions teams to develop customized transportation solutions aligned to customer needs
- Maintain accurate CRM data and provide pipeline updates, forecasts, and performance insights
- Ensure customer expectations are aligned with operations to support successful onboarding and long-term service delivery
- Consistently meet or exceed activity and revenue targets
What We're Looking For
Required
- 3+ years of business development experience in freight brokerage/logistics
- Proven ability to close new business and grow strategic accounts
- Strong consultative sales skills with executive presence and confidence in discovery
- Strong pipeline management and organizational skills
- Strong communication, negotiation, and problem-solving skills
- Ability to work independently and take ownership of results
Preferred
- Experience selling into mid-market to enterprise accounts
- Ability to leverage an existing network of shipper relationships (a plus — not required)
- Experience collaborating with operations teams to ensure strong service execution and retention
Why AFC Logistics
- Uncapped commission with strong earning potential
- Supportive leadership and a team environment built for execution
