Business Development Manager (Logistics)
Are you a true hunter who thrives on the chase in a fast-paced environment?
Do you love opening doors, winning new business, and outworking the competition? As an Account Manager at AFC Transport, you will be on the front lines driving growth, targeting prospects, and turning cold outreach into long-term customers. You will build relationships from scratch, uncover pain points in shipping and logistics, and pitch solutions that keep freight moving while expanding your book of business. If you are competitive, resilient, and motivated by results, this is your chance to make a measurable impact and accelerate your career. We need someone who moves with urgency, handles rejection with confidence, and consistently creates pipeline while managing multiple opportunities at once. If you are ready to hunt, close, and own your number in logistics, we want to hear from you.
Apply today with your resume and tell us about a deal you won from scratch; how did you prospect, overcome objections, and close it?
