USA's Number 1 Freight Forwarding Headhunter Commission: 10–15% from dollar one
We are expanding our commercial presence across Texas and seeking a proven Air & Ocean Sales Director to drive new-logo growth throughout the region. This is a senior hunter position focused entirely on new customer acquisition, market penetration and consistent GP delivery.
Only candidates with a documented track record of generating $500k–$1m GP annually from new-business wins will be considered. Active customer relationships and a transferable book are essential.
We do not expect landed accounts in the first 90 days, but opportunities generated within the first 6–12 months must be strong enough to cover the cost of the seat.
Are You Held Back Where You Are Now?
Operations missing cut-offs, rolled cargo or weak SOP compliance
Air and Ocean rates that fail to compete on key Texas trade lanes
Low base salary, capped commission or weak earning potential
No support to transition your book or onboard new clients
Micromanagement, limited autonomy or restrictive internal controls
Procurement with poor carrier leverage, unstable capacity or weak allocations
Slow internal approvals delaying quotes, tenders and conversions
Join a global, industry-recognised freight forwarder with strong operational backing, aggressive commission from dollar one, competitive pricing and the freedom to build your book properly across Texas.
What You Will Deliver
New Air & Ocean customers across Transpacific, Transatlantic, LATAM and Gulf lanes
A disciplined pipeline and accurate weekly forecasting
Competitive commercial proposals across Air, FCL, LCL and value-added logistics
Direct engagement with importers, exporters, manufacturers and energy-sector clients
Consistent annual GP production supported by strong operations and procurement teams
What You Bring
5–7+ years of Air & Ocean freight sales experience
A proven annual GP history of $500k–$1m from new-business wins
Active customer relationships within Texas and a transferable book
Strong knowledge of pricing, routing, carriers and major trade lanes
High-level CRM discipline and clean, accountable commercial reporting
This role offers genuine autonomy, strong earnings from dollar one, competitive global capacity and a platform engineered for high-performing hunters.
If you are ready to move your customers, grow your GP and join a forwarder that genuinely backs its salespeople, we would like to speak with you.
