Job description

At Venture, we help our clients deliver their products, their promises, and their potential every day. If you believe in delivering great customer service, value partnership, and are always looking for a challenge, we’d like to meet you.

POSITION SUMMARY

We are building a senior team of strategic sellers who can convert complex supply-chain challenges into enterprise growth. This role owns a focused portfolio of approximately 20 strategic accounts and is accountable for developing executive relationships, creating qualified opportunities, and expanding customers across multiple service pillars.

This is not a traditional account-management position. The successful candidate will operate as a growth leader: finding whitespace, reaching economic buyers, aligning internal experts, and advancing sophisticated solutions from discovery through close.

ESSENTIAL JOB FUNCTIONS FOR THIS POSITION:

• Develop and execute account strategies for approximately 20 large-spend, multi-business-unit enterprise customers.
• Build 3-5 meaningful decision-maker relationships within each priority account, including VP and C-suite engagement.
• Identify customer needs and cross-sell solutions across FTL/LTL, Dedicated, 3PL/Consolidation, and Warehousing.
• Create and advance a stage-gated pipeline with clear customer problems, economic buyers, value propositions, and next steps.
• Lead executive meetings, strategic reviews, and Tier-1 quarterly business reviews that convert performance insight into growth opportunities.
• Develop documented whitespace plans and coordinate solution design, pricing, operations, and implementation resources.
• Maintain accurate CRM records, opportunity stages, activity history, forecasts, and account plans.
• Win new enterprise logos while expanding share of wallet within assigned strategic accounts.
• Drive success metrics including: $5M+ in annual growth, $20M in qualified pipeline (maintaining ~4x coverage), winning 2-3 new enterprise logos annually, ensuring 50%+ of assigned accounts buy from 2+ solution pillars, conducting 5+ customer meetings/week (2+ in-person/month), and completing quarterly strategic reviews for Tier-1 accounts.

REQUIRED EDUCATION / EXPERIENCE

• Proven success selling complex transportation, logistics, managed services, or broader supply-chain solutions to enterprise customers.
• A track record of producing material net-new revenue and expanding large, complex accounts across business units and geographies.
• Experience managing long, multi-stakeholder sales cycles with strong pipeline discipline and forecast accuracy.

PREFERRED EDUCATION / EXPERIENCE

• Bachelor's degree or equivalent combination of education and relevant experience preferred.

REQUIRED SKILLS (TECHNICAL, CLERICAL, LANGUAGE, ETC.)

• Strong executive presence with the ability to engage operational leaders, procurement, finance, and senior executives.
• Consultative discovery skills and the ability to translate business problems into multi-solution commercial strategies.
• Collaborative leadership across solutions, operations, pricing, implementation, and customer-success teams.
• The judgment to prioritize a focused account portfolio and the drive to personally create demand.
• CRM proficiency and pipeline management capabilities.

WORK ENVIRONMENT

• This is a remote position, with a requirement for regular travel (~70%)
