Senior Account Executive

Chicago, IL

Job ID 10536

Company Description

Let’s be honest, there are a lot of logistics companies out there. What makes this one different is how they treat people, both clients and their own team.

Our client has built a strong reputation in global freight, customs, and supply chain support, but their real strength is how they show up day to day. They value relationships, they back their people, and they give their sales team the tools and trust to actually succeed.

If you are looking for a place where you are more than just a number on a leaderboard, this is worth a serious look.

Compensation

This role is built for someone who wants to earn.

Strong base salary
Uncapped commission with real upside
Full benefits package
Support for client meetings and business development
The chance to build a book of business that pays off long-term

The Opportunity

If you enjoy the hunt, this role will feel natural.

You will be focused on opening doors across the Chicago market, building relationships, and bringing in new business. The service offering is broad, covering international freight, domestic transportation, and end-to-end logistics support, which gives you a lot to work with when speaking to clients.

The hybrid setup means you will spend time out meeting clients and prospects, while still having the flexibility to manage your day, follow up, and plan from home.

This is not a sit-back-and-manage role. It is for someone who likes getting out there, having conversations, and turning opportunities into long-term partnerships.

Position Description

Day to day, you will be building your presence across Chicago and growing your territory.

Prospecting and reaching out to new potential clients
Meeting with decision-makers across the region, both in person and virtually
Understanding supply chain challenges and offering practical solutions
Presenting services across air, ocean, and domestic transportation
Putting together proposals that make sense for the client
Closing deals and building long-term relationships
Keeping your pipeline active and organized
Working closely with internal teams to ensure a smooth client experience
Growing a focused group of key accounts over time

Experience

Background in freight forwarding or logistics sales
Comfortable building business from scratch, not just maintaining accounts
Experience selling services rather than physical products
Familiar with how international shipping and supply chains work

Qualifications

You are driven and do not need to be micromanaged
You are comfortable speaking with senior decision-makers
You know how to ask the right questions and listen
You can explain complex services in a simple way
You like winning business and take pride in it
You follow through and keep your word
