You will prospect, qualify, design solutions, and close - from first call through contract. The platform is differentiated. The opportunity is real. We need someone who can execute.***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.

Not sales management - field sales, closing deals.* You've consistently closed $12M+ per year in new logo warehouse and fulfillment revenue within the food, beverage, or nutrition space. We'll ask for specifics.* You built that pipeline yourself. Not from marketing programs, not from account lists handed to you. You know how to generate your own opportunities.* You are actively hunting in your current role - not managing accounts, not renewing contracts. You find new business and close it.* The product you've been selling is warehouse and fulfillment - physical 3PL services. Not transportation brokerage, not TMS, not managed services.* You understand how shippers evaluate 3PL outsourcing decisions - the RFP process, the stakeholders involved, how multi-year contracts get structured and won.* You've sold into food, beverage, nutrition, or CPG verticals and understand the compliance environment: OTIF, MABD, retail routing guide requirements.* You 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 a related field.## Work environment/physical demands summary:This job operates in an office environment and uses a computer, telephone and other office equipment as needed to perform duties.
