Business Development – Transportation & Logistics (Junior & Senior Opportunities)

Build your business. Grow with us. Be part of what's next.

An established, privately held transportation and logistics company in the Greater Montreal area is expanding its commercial team and looking to welcome two Business Development professionals: one Junior and one Senior.

With an established industry presence, a comprehensive range of transportation solutions and a close-knit team, the company is entering an exciting phase of growth.

Whether you're an experienced sales professional bringing an established book of business or someone looking to build one from scratch, this is an opportunity to grow alongside an established business.

Senior Business Development – Bring Your Book of Business

We're looking for an experienced transportation and logistics sales professional with an established network of shipping customers and a transferable book of business.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Bring and grow an established book of business.
  • Leverage existing relationships with shippers and decision-makers to generate new freight volume.
  • Identify and pursue new business opportunities.
  • Present transportation solutions, negotiate agreements and close new business.
  • Contribute directly to the company's commercial growth.

What We're Looking For:

  • Proven sales experience in transportation, freight brokerage, 3PL or logistics.
  • An established and transferable book of business.
  • A strong track record in business development and revenue generation.
  • Excellent communication, negotiation and relationship-building skills.
  • An entrepreneurial mindset and interest in long-term growth opportunities.

Junior Business Development – Build Your Own Book of Business

We're looking for someone ambitious, outgoing and motivated to build a career in transportation and logistics sales.

No existing book of business or extensive industry experience is required. You'll work directly with an experienced sales professional who has successfully built his own book of business and is excited to mentor someone starting their journey.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Identify and prospect potential customers through cold calling, networking and outreach.
  • Develop relationships with prospective clients and decision-makers.
  • Understand customer shipping needs and introduce appropriate transportation solutions.
  • Prepare proposals, negotiate and close new business.
  • Build and grow your own book of business.

What We're Looking For:

  • Previous B2B sales or business development experience is an asset, but not mandatory.
  • Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
  • An outgoing, confident and proactive personality.
  • Comfortable with prospecting and developing new relationships.
  • Entrepreneurial mindset, ambition and willingness to learn.

What's In It For You?

  • An established, privately held company with a solid industry presence.
  • A genuinely welcoming and collaborative working environment with excellent employee retention.
  • Attractive commission-based compensation and flexible arrangements based on experience and expectations.
  • The opportunity to build and grow your own book of business.
  • Real potential for professional and financial growth as the company expands.
  • For the Senior candidate, the opportunity to eventually build and lead their own sales team.

This is more than another sales position. It's an opportunity to build something of your own within an established company that's ready for its next stage of growth.

Interested in learning more? Apply confidentially or reach out directly for additional information.
