Job description

ITS Logistics is a leading Third-Party Logistics provider and an Echo Global Logistics company. We run a fully integrated platform – asset‑based truckload, Dedicated & Fulfillment, LTL, Dray, Intermodal, and Managed Transportation – plus Roadtex, our temperature‑controlled warehouse and distribution network. That combination gives our customers something most 3PLs can’t offer: a single partner who can handle ambient fulfillment, confectionery‑grade temp‑controlled distribution, and everything in between. We’re a performance‑driven organization. We invest in our people, give them real commercial infrastructure to work with, and get out of their way.

Key Responsibilities

• Prospect and close new business within the pharma and life sciences vertical – targeting pharmaceutical manufacturers, specialty distributors, clinical logistics providers, medical device companies, and nutraceutical brands.
• Sell the full ITS + Roadtex D&F platform: ambient omnichannel fulfillment (ITS) and confectionery‑grade temperature‑controlled warehouse, distribution, and VAS (Roadtex).
• Build and manage your own pipeline from scratch.
• Qualify opportunities, design integrated solutions, coordinate pricing, and lead pursuit cycles through close.
• Engage VP and C‑suite supply‑chain, logistics, and procurement contacts.
• Build multi‑service proposals and ROI models – combining ambient warehouse, temp‑controlled storage, VAS, and transportation into a single integrated solution.
• Work with ITS and Roadtex operations and pricing teams to validate solutions operationally before proposals go out.
• Use the Echo enterprise account base to identify cross‑sell opportunities for ITS D&F and Roadtex capabilities.
• Keep CRM clean – accurate deal values, stages, timelines, and probabilities on every active opportunity.
• Transition closed accounts cleanly to the Enterprise Account Management team and stay involved where needed to protect revenue actualization.
• Show up at trade events, customer meetings, and industry forums specific to food and nutrition supply chain.
• Give leadership straight pipeline reporting – what’s real, what’s at risk, what’s closing.

Requirements

• 7+ years as an individual contributor selling 3PL warehouse and fulfillment solutions.
• Consistently closed $12M+ per year in new‑logo warehouse and fulfillment revenue within the food, beverage, or nutrition space.
• Built pipeline independently – not from marketing programs or handed account lists.
• Actively hunting in the current role – find new business and close it, not managing accounts or renewing contracts.
• Sales focus on warehouse and fulfillment – physical 3PL services, not transportation brokerage, TMS, or managed services.
• Understand how shippers evaluate 3PL outsourcing decisions – RFP process, stakeholders, multi‑year contract structure.
• Experience selling into food, beverage, nutrition, or CPG verticals and understanding the compliance environment: OTIF, MABD, retail routing guide requirements.
• Can engage confidently at VP and C‑suite level and lead a complex, multi‑stakeholder sales process without hand‑holding.
• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Supply Chain, or related field.
