United States onlyARE YOU INTERESTED IN JOINING AN INNOVATIVE LOGISTICS TECHNOLOGY COMPANY?
Loadsmart is a growth-stage technology company valued at over $1 billion (a true Tech Unicorn)!
We are a collection of industry veterans and user-centered engineers using innovative technology to fearlessly reinvent the future of freight by helping shippers, brokers, warehouses and carriers to move more with less.
With headquarters in Chicago and a globally distributed remote team, Loadsmart continues to attract top talent committed to driving meaningful change. We seek professionals who embody our core values: curiosity, clarity, results, commitment, and teamwork.

This position is responsible for developing and executing new business growth strategies aimed at long-term growth and profitability within Loadsmart’s Shipper Solutions group.

You will obsess about delighting our customers to achieve breakout revenue growth. You will create a culture of sales success and lead by example.
