Client Development Executive Jobs in Memphis, TN

Position Summary
We are seeking a high-performing Business Development Executive to help accelerate growth for a fast-moving, e-commerce-focused 3PL with approximately $40 million in revenue across two locations. This is a high-ownership, high-accountability role for a true hunter who thrives on creating opportunity, opening doors, building relationships, and turning momentum into revenue.
This is not a role for someone looking for a comfortable routine or a passive pipeline. It is for a driven, competitive, self-starting professional who wants to be in the market, create demand, and help move prospects through the sales funnel from first contact to closed business and successful onboarding.
The ideal candidate will serve as part sales leader, part brand ambassador, and part social media champion. This person will not only win new logos, but also actively help position the company in the marketplace by creating engagement, hosting events with brands, and building visibility through authentic, high-energy outreach. Experience with ShipHero or similar warehouse management and fulfillment technology is strongly preferred.
