The Senior Account Executive will drive business development across the Greater Vancouver Area, leveraging an existing customer portfolio while acquiring new accounts and maximizing long-term revenue opportunities.

Senior Account Executive responsibilities:

  • Identify, pursue, and close new business opportunities across freight brokerage, warehousing, fulfillment, transloading, and value-added logistics services.
  • Develop and execute sales strategies to drive growth across inbound and outbound markets throughout the Greater Vancouver Area.
  • Manage and grow an existing portfolio of customers while building new relationships and expanding the overall customer base.
  • Identify opportunities to upsell and cross-sell services, maximizing customer satisfaction, retention, and long-term account value.
  • Meet or exceed revenue targets and sales activity KPIs while taking ownership of individual sales performance and business development initiatives.
  • Collaborate with operations and internal support teams to ensure effective service delivery, resolve customer issues, and maintain strong client relationships.
  • Maintain accurate customer and sales pipeline records in Salesforce and travel to client sites as required to develop and strengthen business relationships.

The successful candidate has:

  • 5+ years of outside B2B sales experience within the logistics, transportation, or supply chain industry.
  • Strong preference for experience working with a non-asset-based third-party logistics provider.
  • A proven track record of winning new business while successfully managing, retaining, and growing existing customer accounts.
  • Excellent communication, relationship-building, negotiation, and presentation skills, with a customer-first approach.
  • A self-motivated, entrepreneurial mindset and the ability to work independently while contributing to a growing business.
  • Experience using Salesforce or a comparable CRM is an asset, along with a valid driver's licence and access to a personal vehicle.

Compensation and benefits:

  • Base salary of $70,000–$80,000, commensurate with experience.
  • Uncapped commission structure with independent-contributor incentives and unlimited earning potential as you build and grow your portfolio.
  • Estimated first-year on-target earnings (OTE) of $85,000–$100,000, with significant potential to increase earnings over time.
  • An existing customer portfolio to support your transition and provide a foundation for continued account growth.
  • Car allowance, laptop, and phone allowance.
  • Opportunity to take ownership of a high-potential market as part of a strategic regional expansion.
  • Autonomy, direct access to leadership, and the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the organization's growth.
  • A performance-driven, customer-focused culture that values initiative, accountability, and long-term relationship building.
