Responsibilities
- Own the full commercial motion for Flexport’s Data Center practice: from pipeline generation through close and expansion.
- Build, inspire, and ultimately lead a high-performing sales team as the practice scales, including hiring, onboarding, coaching, and developing Account Executives.
- Define and execute a go-to-market strategy targeting hyperscalers, co-location providers, OEM hardware manufacturers, and EPC contractors across North America.
- Establish and drive specific, targeted revenue goals and quotas; monitor and manage key performance metrics to ensure consistent performance.
- Partner closely with Flexport’s operations teams and product teams to design and deliver mission-critical solutions.
- Represent Flexport externally as a subject-matter authority in data center logistics: at industry events, in RFP processes, and in senior customer conversations.
- Take an entrepreneurial approach: you are building something new inside a company with global scale, and you will bring both the vision and the execution.
Requirements
- 10+ years of overall professional experience, including direct experience selling complex, high-value logistics or supply chain solutions to Fortune 500 customers.
- Deep familiarity with the data center, hyperscaler, co-location, or critical infrastructure ecosystem, either through direct sales, account management, or operational roles.
- A demonstrated track record as a top-performing individual contributor and, ideally, early-stage team builder: you know what it takes to close, and you know how to build a team that closes.
- The instincts and resilience to operate as a team of one while building toward scale.
- Strong consultative selling skills, with the ability to navigate complex, multi-stakeholder deals involving procurement, operations, logistics, and executive leadership.
- Excellent analytical and commercial judgment: you can build and manage a pipeline, forecast accurately, and make strategic tradeoffs.
- Exceptional communication skills and the ability to earn trust at every level, from AE to C-suite.
- A “compliance first” attitude to keep our regulators happy and enthusiastic about Flexport since we operate in a heavily regulated industry.
Conditions
- A 50/50 compensation model (base + uncapped bonus and accelerators) built for closers who bet on themselves.
- Equity grants and comprehensive benefits.
- Founding-level autonomy and direct access to executive leadership.
- The mandate to build and lead the team as the practice scales.
