The opportunity:

Tired of the traditional operating model of the freight forwarding industry? Want to join the most disruptive force for good in global commerce? At Flexport, our mission is to make global commerce so easy there will be more of it. We believe that global trade should work better for everyone.

• Sales Drive: Enthusiasm for cold-calling prospects, leading discovery calls, and a burning desire to grow into a top 5% sales executive in the country.

• Mindset: A client-service mindset—obsessed with client and employee happiness—and the courage to challenge the status quo.

• Skills: Excellent communication, interpersonal, and organizational skills with a strong work ethic and fast learning ability.

• Execution: Strategic vision combined with "ground floor" execution capabilities.

What’s in it for you:

• Impact: An opportunity to contribute to one of the fastest-growing companies and create a global impact within a thriving multinational environment.

• Growth: Access to global learning programs and career development opportunities.

• Compensation: Appropriated sales incentive based on performance achievement.
