Formación

• 12–15 years of progressive leadership experience in sales within the 3PL or transportation industry
• Experience building or scaling a sales organization

• Present sales performance, pipeline health, and growth strategy directly to executive leadership and, where applicable, the board or ownership group
• Set the standards and expectations the VP of Customer Sales (or equivalent sales leadership) executes against day-to-day; this role is accountable for outcomes, not for running the daily pipeline personally
• Build and develop senior sales leadership bench strength across the organization, ensuring the function can scale beyond any single leader
• Foster a culture of accountability and performance at the organizational level - comp design, incentive structure, and KPI philosophy, not just individual coaching
• Own top-line new-business revenue and margin growth at the enterprise level, with accountability for the multi-year trajectory, not just period-over-period results

SVP, Customer Sales

Edge Logistics Scottsdale, Arizona, United States

About this position

Description:

The SVP of Customer Sales sets Edge's enterprise-level new-business growth strategy and represents the sales function in executive and ownership-level strategic planning. Where the VP of Customer Sales runs the day-to-day sales organization, the SVP owns the multi-year growth strategy the VP executes against - market expansion, vertical prioritization, and the sales organization's long-term structure - and is the senior-most voice for new-business growth in company-wide strategic discussions. This role owns new-logo acquisition strategy exclusively; carrier procurement and existing-account growth remain owned by Carrier Sales and Account Management leadership.

CRITICAL DUTIES & RESPONSIBILITIES

Enterprise Strategy & Executive Alignment

• Set the multi-year new-business growth strategy - market expansion, vertical prioritization, and sales organization structure - in partnership with executive leadership and ownership.
• Represent the Customer Sales function in company-wide strategic planning, including growth initiatives that may extend beyond the sales organization itself.
• Present sales performance, pipeline health, and growth strategy directly to executive leadership and, where applicable, the board or ownership group.

Sales Leadership Oversight

• Set the standards and expectations the VP of Customer Sales (or equivalent sales leadership) executes against day-to-day; this role is accountable for outcomes, not for running the daily pipeline personally.
• Build and develop senior sales leadership bench strength across the organization, ensuring the function can scale beyond any single leader.
• Foster a culture of accountability and performance at the organizational level - comp design, incentive structure, and KPI philosophy, not just individual coaching.

Revenue & Profitability

• Own top-line new-business revenue and margin growth at the enterprise level, with accountability for the multi-year trajectory, not just period-over-period results.
• Establish the KPI and performance-target philosophy used across the sales organization.
• Set negotiation guardrails and approval thresholds for major new-customer contracts.

Customer & Market Relationship Leadership

• Serve as the senior-most executive sponsor for the largest and most strategically significant new-logo opportunities.
• Ensure alignment between sales strategy and Account Management's ability to deliver on what's sold - the enterprise-level version of the VP's day-to-day handoff responsibility.

Market Intelligence & Innovation

• Monitor industry trends, competitive landscape, and macro market shifts to shape long-term growth strategy, not just near-term opportunity identification.
• Champion technology and sales-enablement investment at the organizational level, partnering with Operational Excellence & Systems leadership on tooling that scales.
• Partner with marketing and executive leadership to evolve Edge's market positioning as the business grows.

Requirements

QUALIFICATIONS / EDUCATION

• Bachelor's degree in Business, Supply Chain, Logistics, or related field; MBA or advanced degree strongly preferred

• Minimum 12-15 years of progressive leadership experience in sales within the 3PL or transportation industry, including experience building or scaling a sales organization
• Proven track record of setting multi-year growth strategy, not just executing an existing one
• Deep understanding of freight brokerage and asset-light transportation models
• Demonstrated experience presenting to and influencing C-suite and/or board-level stakeholders
