Industry: Logistics, Warehousing & 3PL Services
Location: Miami Metropolitan Area, Florida | Field-Based Role
The Opportunity
A well-established Miami-based third‑party logistics operator is seeking a driven, field‑ready Business Development Manager to accelerate its commercial growth across South Florida and, eventually, expand into other markets. This role offers a competitive base salary, uncapped commissions, and the opportunity to build a high‑impact sales career within a growing logistics organization.
Our client specializes in rail transloading, warehousing, drayage, and integrated distribution services for domestic and international markets. Backed by strategically located facilities and strong international support, the company delivers end‑to‑end logistics solutions across complex supply chains.
This is an exciting opportunity for a motivated sales professional to make a measurable impact by developing new business, building strategic customer relationships, and contributing to the growth of one of Florida's leading logistics providers.
The Role
This is a hands‑on commercial role focused primarily on developing new business. Reporting to the Chief Commercial Officer, you will have the autonomy to grow your territory while collaborating closely with an experienced operations and leadership team to deliver customized logistics solutions.
Success in this role will be measured by new customer acquisition, revenue growth, and the development of long‑term strategic relationships. This is an ideal opportunity for a true hunter who enjoys opening doors, creating opportunities, and closing complex logistics solutions.

Manage a South Florida territory through regular local outreach, with occasional travel (approximately 10%) for customer meetings and industry events.
Collaborate with operations and pricing teams to develop accurate, competitive proposals.
Represent the company at industry events while expanding your professional network within the logistics and transportation community.
