Chicago, Illinois

At Rapido Solutions Group, we connect fast-growing U.S. companies with top global talent.
From Guadalajara and León, we create career opportunities that bridge Mexico and the U.S. logistics industry.

We value diversity, joy, and passion, fostering a dynamic workplace where people grow both personally and professionally. Our goal is to be the best place to work, offering wellbeing programs, social initiatives, and real career growth.

What will you be doing? 

As a Business Development Representative, your primary responsibility will be to identify, target, and engage with Director, VP, and C-suite executives at potential client companies. You will use your communication and relationship-building skills to set meetings for our sales team and contribute directly to revenue growth. 

  • Prospecting and Research
    Identify and research logistics companies that are a strong fit for Rapido, including brokerages, carriers, and logistics technology providers. Build an understanding of each company’s operating model, growth stage, and potential support gaps.
  • Outbound Lead Generation
    Consistently generate new conversations through thoughtful outbound activity across email, LinkedIn, and phone. Build a healthy pipeline of qualified meetings by focusing on relevance and timing rather than volume alone.
  • Targeted Outreach and Engagement
    Initiate contact with Directors, VPs, and C level leaders through personalized messaging that speaks directly to operational pain points such as coverage gaps, cost pressure, scalability, and team burnout.
  • Discovery and Qualification
    Hold initial conversations to understand a prospect’s current workflows, team structure, challenges, and decision making process. Qualify opportunities based on need, urgency, and overall fit for Rapido’s nearshore model.
  • Meeting Setting and Handoff
    Set high quality meetings for the sales team with clear context, notes, and expectations. Ensure each meeting is well positioned and aligned with sales objectives and the prospect’s priorities.
  • Relationship Building
    Develop trust with prospects through consistent follow up, transparency, and a consultative approach. Stay engaged even when timing is not immediate to build long term pipeline value.
  • CRM and Reporting
    Maintain accurate and timely records of outreach, conversations, and next steps within the CRM. Use data to track progress, improve messaging, and stay aligned with team goals.
  • Performance and Incentives
    Earn performance based bonuses tied to meetings set and deals closed, reinforcing accountability, consistency, and impact on company growth.

A "recently separated veteran" means any veteran during the three-year period beginning on the date of such veteran's discharge or release from active duty in the U.S. military, ground, naval, or air service.

Voluntary Self-Identification of Disability

Form CC-305
Page 1 of 1
OMB Control Number 1250-0005
Expires 04/30/2026

Why are you being asked to complete this form?

We are a federal contractor or subcontractor. The law requires us to provide equal employment opportunity to qualified people with disabilities. We have a goal of having at least 7% of our workers as people with disabilities. The law says we must measure our progress towards this goal. To do this, we must ask applicants and employees if they have a disability or have ever had one. People can become disabled, so we need to ask this question at least every five years.

Completing this form is voluntary, and we hope that you will choose to do so. Your answer is confidential. No one who makes hiring decisions will see it. Your decision to complete the form and your answer will not harm you in any way. If you want to learn more about the law or this form, visit the U.S. Department of Labor’s Office of Federal Contract Compliance Programs (OFCCP) website at www.dol.gov/ofccp.
