  • Negotiate commercial terms while protecting margin, service expectations, credit requirements, and implementation feasibility.
  • Complete a structured commercial and operational handoff after securing new business while remaining involved through early account stabilization.
  • Travel throughout the assigned territory for customer meetings, prospect development, trade shows, and selected market visits.
  • Provide regular pipeline, activity, forecast, conversion, gross-profit, and market-development updates to management.

  • Demonstrated success winning net-new customers and developing export trade lanes.
  • Working knowledge of ocean freight, air freight, consolidation, warehousing, pricing, and customer implementation.
  • English and Spanish fluency required; Portuguese preferred.
  • Strong prospecting, networking, solution selling, negotiation, closing, presentation, and stakeholder-management skills.
  • Disciplined CRM usage and ability to manage a measurable pipeline and accurate forecast.
  • Ability to work independently in a hybrid environment while collaborating regularly with the Miami commercial and operational teams.
  • Willingness and ability to travel more than 50%.

Key performance indicators

  • New customers won and profitable U.S.-origin export volume developed.
