Description

We are seeking a Senior Business Development Associate to drive new business and expand existing accounts in our LCL and Buyers Consolidation product lines.

The Opportunity: Flexport's Ocean Consolidation Solutions team helps North America clients ship smaller, more frequent orders through Less-than-Container-Load (LCL) and buyers consolidation programs. Global trade keeps shifting toward smaller shipments, and demand for flexible consolidation options keeps growing.

Responsibilities:

  • Act as a subject matter expert for LCL and Buyers Consolidation services, supporting demand teams by identifying, developing, presenting and closing business.
  • Manage the full sales cycle from lead generation to close, and grow volume and scope with existing North America clients.
  • Develop bid management and strategy for long-term pricing, including attainment tracking.
  • Partner with APAC product and operations teams to build processes that raise service quality, consistency and pricing for North America clients.
  • Improve the sales playbook and flag process gaps that slow deal velocity.
  • Provide leadership with regular updates on pipeline, bookings, and volume growth against target.

Requirements:

  • 3-5 years of experience in sales or business development; ocean freight or LCL experience preferred.
  • Working knowledge of LCL, buyers consolidation, or ocean freight forwarding.
  • A track record of hitting and exceeding sales targets.
  • Proven ability to build and maintain long-term client relationships.
  • Strong communication skills, with the ability to present to senior stakeholders.
  • Ability to work cross-functionally with product and operations teams across time zones, including APAC.
  • Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced, high-growth environment.
  • Independent, proactive, and self-motivated.

Benefits:

  • Comprehensive benefit offerings such as medical, dental, and flexible time off.
  • Bonus and equity.

Salary Range: $79,200-$99,000 USD
