  • Partner closely with Customer Success teams to ensure customer onboarding, solution adoption, retention, and long‑term account health.
  • Collaborate with internal stakeholders including specialized product sales teams and cross‑functional team members to deliver a consistent, high‑quality customer experience.
  • Regularly engage customers to reinforce understanding of company’s capabilities and maximize utilization of the full portfolio.
  • Build trusted customer relationships through regular business reviews, strategic account planning, professional communication, and executive‑level engagement.
  • Leverage technology tools (CRM systems, mobile devices, internal platforms, and presentation tools) to support accurate forecasting, pipeline management, and customer communication.
  • Demonstrate initiative and leadership by organizing and guiding internal teams, maintaining discipline in execution, and adapting to changing business conditions.
  • Monitor competitive activity within assigned accounts and markets, ensuring appropriate responses and strategies are communicated internally.
  • Represent the company professionally through customer entertainment, meetings, and industry engagement as appropriate.
  • All other duties as assigned to meet evolving business needs.

  • Certification/Licensure: Supply Chain / Logistics Industry certifications preferred.
  • Experience: 7+ years of enterprise‑level sales experience, preferably within transportation, logistics, or supply chain solutions.
  • Proven track record of consistently exceeding enterprise sales targets and driving market share growth.
  • Demonstrated experience selling complex solutions to enterprise‑level customers and senior decision makers.
  • Strong consultative selling, negotiation, and relationship‑building skills.
  • Excellent verbal and written communication skills with the ability to influence and present at the executive level.
  • Strong analytical, problem‑solving, and decision‑making capabilities.
  • Experience using CRM tools (Salesforce preferred) and sales performance tracking systems.
  • Demonstrated discretion and confidentiality in handling and protecting sensitive information.
  • Technical: Proficient with common office technologies, including Windows PCs, Microsoft O365 (Outlook, Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc.) and web conferencing (Teams, Zoom, Webex, etc.)
