The Opportunity

We're looking for a high-energy Account Executive to join our SMB sales team and drive adoption of the Convoy Platform across small and mid-sized brokerages. This is a volume-oriented role where speed, efficiency, and relationship-building matter equally — you'll be running a full-cycle desk that spans new logo acquisition and expansion of existing accounts.

If you thrive in a fast-paced environment, love a short sales cycle, and get energized by closing deals and finding the next one the same day, this role was built for you.

What You’ll Do

• Run a high-velocity, full-cycle sales motion — prospecting, qualifying, demoing, and closing SMB brokerages on the Convoy Platform
• Grow an existing book of SMB accounts through proactive outreach, product education, and upsell/expansion opportunities
• Hit and exceed monthly and quarterly pipeline and quota targets
• Build strong relationships with owners, operations leads, and decision-makers at small and mid-sized brokerages
• Maintain a clean, up-to-date pipeline in Salesforce and accurately forecast your business
• Serve as a market-facing resource, feeding product and customer insights back to internal teams

The Skills and Experience You’ll Bring

• 1–3 years of full-cycle sales experience, ideally in SaaS, freight tech, or logistics
• A track record of consistent quota attainment in a transactional or high-volume sales environment
• A natural prospector — outbound activity doesn't feel like work, it's how you win
• Organized and efficient; you know how to manage a large pipeline without letting deals slip
• Clear communicator who builds trust fast — SMB buyers don't have time for long sales cycles, and neither do you
• Freight or brokerage market knowledge is a strong plus; genuine curiosity about the industry is a must
• Growth mindset — you take feedback, adjust quickly, and keep improving
