Position Summary:

Logistics Strategic Account Executive

Step into a strong, proven territory — and grow it further.

This territory has a track record of strong performance, giving you a running start to build on established relationships while pursuing net-new business. You'll own a defined 3PL and Carrier sales territory, blending prospecting, partner development, and strategic account growth — all while working alongside a collaborative, cross-functional team.

As a Logistics Strategic Account Executive, you'll drive new business through prospecting, partner development, and territory management — including periodic onsite visits with 3PLs and Carriers. You'll lead annual and quarterly business planning to position your territory for success, run business reviews with customers and partners, and partner with sales engineering, implementation, and other direct sales teams to ensure smooth transitions from close to onboarding. Once a customer is onboard, they stay in your territory — opening the door for ongoing upsell and cross-sell as their business (and needs) grow.

This is a 100% direct sales, quota-based role with a strong emphasis on new customer and partner acquisition, balanced with expanding existing accounts.

What You'll Do
- Drive a value-based sales process across a defined territory — identifying, developing, and closing new business
-Prospect for new clients through email campaigns, networking, cold calling, and other strategies you determine will be most effective
- Engage all qualified leads and opportunities from Channel, Logistics, Analytics, Marketing, Community, and Lead Generation teams
- Partner with your account team to leverage existing SPS relationships, fostering a collaborative culture aligned with SPS values
- Nurture prospects and current customers; cross-sell and upsell existing subscribers
- Maintain a rolling 90-day pipeline to meet or exceed ARR quota
- Champion customer satisfaction — respond promptly and ensure smooth alignment with Customer Success
- Track key findings, progress, insights, and pipeline velocity in Salesforce.com

What You'll Bring

- Bachelor's degree + 5 years of relevant work experience (3+ years quota-carrying sales) OR some post-secondary education + 9 years of relevant experience
- Demonstrated success managing full sales cycles — from prospecting to close — including pipeline building, objection handling, ROI-based selling, forecasting, and persistence through both short and long sales cycles
- A track record of self-generated leads, leveraging your own contacts, accounts, and partner relationships
- Clear, confident communication skills (verbal, written, and non-verbal), with the ability to adapt tone and style to the audience
- Ability to translate technical and business concepts for audiences with varying levels of expertise
- Strong cross-functional collaboration skills (product management, support, sales leadership, senior management)
- A strong sense of integrity, relationship-building, and leadership

What Sets You Apart

- Multi-year tenure with 3+ years of repeated, proven success exceeding quota
Familiarity with logistics, transportation, or warehouse management systems (TMS/WMS) is a strong plus
- Proficiency with Microsoft Office and Salesforce.com
