Convoy is on a roll, and we’re seeing incredible success and momentum. However, for us to get to the next level and achieve our long-term goals, we must grow our business with enterprise customers by an order of magnitude. This won’t be easy, but with the right leader - someone smart, dynamic, and hardworking - someone who can learn, navigate, and eventually mold the freight industry - and someone who can develop deep relationships with senior executives at Fortune 500 companies - we can do it.

You can recruit, hire, and coach people in your organization to become incredible salespeople. You hold your team to high standards and are passionate about people development. You are tech savvy and also work well across an organization, forming strong partnerships with internal stakeholders, including operations, marketing, product, and finance.

You will take ownership of:

  • Leading one of our largest Enterprise portfolios, driving both new customer acquisition and growth of existing customers. 
  • Developing a deep understanding of Convoy - our offerings and competitive positioning, and play a key role in establishing and nurturing long term partnerships with large enterprise customers.

  • Building strong advocacy with key internal partner teams such as Legal, Finance and Product to accelerate deal velocity and growth.

You have the following skills and experience:

  • 10+ years of sales leadership experience in the tech industry or transportation/supply chain industry (e.g. managing and building teams, demonstrated success in growing client revenue and customer satisfaction).
  • Experience managing high performing sales teams, including salespeople who've sold to Fortune 500 companies.
  • Demonstrated leadership skills in managing and influencing decision-makers and key stakeholders.
