Account Executive

🌍 Why this matters

Everything you see around you came on a truck. Freight is the backbone of the modern world, and it touches almost every business there is.

This is a rare chance to really understand the world economy and the huge variety of companies that make it up. In a single week you might talk to a makeup brand, a company shipping airplane parts, an art gallery, a huge distribution warehouse, a plumbing fixtures supplier, and a printing company. The types of businesses we support are endless, and you’ll get to walk through their doors, learn how they work, and help them grow.

🚗 The short version

You own a territory. You visit customers and leads in person, you close deals, and you grow your own book of business over time. You’re the kind of person who lights up a room, who can talk to anyone, and who genuinely enjoys meeting new people.

If that’s you, keep reading.

🚀 Why this role is different

You’ll be out in the field, meeting real people at real businesses, not parked behind a desk all day. You’ll get to know your customers, understand what they ship and why, and become the trusted face of FreightSimple in your territory.

This is a career, not just a job. You’ll build and grow your own book of business, develop real expertise, and have a genuine hand in shaping where your career goes. It’s a way of working, and a way of living, that gets you out into the world and puts your future in your own hands.

You’re not selling something people put up with. We have a product our customers truly love, and you’ll feel that in every conversation.

You won’t be doing it alone. A remote customer success specialist and our operations team will have your back, so you can focus on what you do best: building relationships and winning customers.

✨ What you’ll actually do

Own your territory

• Take ownership of a territory and treat it like your own business
• Visit customers and leads in person to build real, lasting relationships

• Can talk to anyone and walk through the door of any company

• Excellent listening and communication skills
• High attention to detail
• Able to multitask and juggle competing priorities
• A team player who can give and receive feedback
• Freight experience is a bonus, not a must. A background in selling something matters more, whether that’s retail, fine dining service, cosmetics, medical sales, or anything else where you won people over

💙 Why you’ll love working here

• A career, not just a job, with room to grow and a lifestyle out in the world rather than behind a desk
• A territory that’s yours to own and grow
