  • As needed, attend industry networking events, trade shows, and association meetings to expand our presence and generate leads.
  • Manage a CRM database of employer contacts, tracking communications, meetings, and partnership outcomes.
  • Meet or exceed monthly goals for new business partnerships and signed employer agreements.
  • Gather and report industry intelligence to help shape strategic growth initiatives.

Qualifications

  • 3-5 years of experience in B2B sales, workforce development, or transportation/logistics partnerships.
  • Proven ability to generate leads, build pipelines, and close partnership agreements.
  • Strong presentation, negotiation, and relationship-building skills.
  • Self-starter with excellent time management and organizational ability.
  • Familiarity with the trucking and logistics industry and/or CDL licensing process is a strong plus.
  • High school diploma or GED required.

Preferred Skills

  • Existing relationships with transportation companies, freight brokers, or distribution centers.
  • Experience in staffing, recruiting, or workforce training services.
  • Bilingual (English/Spanish) a plus.
  • Veteran status a plus

Why Join Us
