Overview

Jagjot Express has been trusted in transportation and logistics for over 25 years, specializing in temperature-controlled and dry freight across North America. With an extensive fleet, we’ve built a strong foundation, and now we’re ready to take the next leap forward.

We’re looking for a Director of Strategy & Business Development who isn’t just searching for their next role, but a long-term place to grow. This isn’t just another Director position, it’s a chance to build, lead, and shape the future of Jagjot Express. This is a transformational leadership role that will put you at the centre of Jagjot Express\' growth journey.

The mandate is clear: build on our foundation as a trusted, family-owned carrier and scale Jagjot Express into one of the most recognized names in logistics. That means driving strategic growth initiatives, opening new avenues of business, and strengthening our structure to scale sustainably. You’ll work hand-in-hand with leadership, bringing big ideas to the table and the execution to back them up.

What You’ll Do

• Lead growth initiatives that expand our market presence and revenue.
• Identify and develop new business avenues (brokerage, partnerships, services) that create long-term scalability.
• Build and maintain lasting relationships with manufacturers, distributors, and retailers.
• Strengthen organizational structure, processes, and accountability to support growth.
• Collaborate directly with ownership to shape and execute our long-term vision.

What We’re Looking For

• 8+ years in logistics, transportation, supply chain, or related industries.
• Proven success in strategic growth and business development roles.
• Strong understanding of trucking operations and logistics markets.
• A builder’s mindset — entrepreneurial, hands-on, and results-driven.
• A long-term vision — you want to be part of a company’s journey, not just pass through.

Why Join Us?

• Be part of a trusted 25+ year company entering its most exciting stage of growth.
• Play a central role in transforming Jagjot Express into a top-tier logistics brand.
• Work in a family-owned environment where collaboration and initiative are valued.
• A long-term career path with growth into executive C-level leadership.
• Competitive compensation and benefits.

This is more than a job, it’s a chance to take the driver’s seat in strategic growth and help elevate Jagjot Express into a household name in logistics.
