[ apply ] Confidential — freight forwarding sales

One private conversation, and you will know exactly what your book is worth

We represent ocean and air forwarding producers writing $500K to $5M+ in annual gross profit. Your name never moves without your explicit approval — one company at a time, no resume in circulation.

[ a ] Sample roles we run

A representative seat in every vertical we cover

  • Rock & Roll / Concert Logistics

    Vertical Lead — Entertainment & Touring Logistics

    4 to 7 weeks from first call to signed offer. Two interview rounds, one with ownership.

  • Asia Trade-Lane Specialists

    Senior Elite Team Ocean Sales — Asia inbound

    5 to 9 weeks. Pricing-desk interviews often extend the middle of the process.

  • LATAM Consolidation

    Business Development Manager — Mexico cross-border

    4 to 8 weeks. Nearshoring demand keeps decision cycles unusually short.

  • Expedited Fleet Sales

    Expedited Sales Executive — owned fleet

    3 to 6 weeks. The fastest closing vertical we run.

  • European Lane Depth

    Trade Lane Manager — North Europe

    6 to 10 weeks. Multi-country sign-off is the usual constraint.

  • Pharma, Automotive & Government

    Life Sciences Vertical Sales Director

    6 to 12 weeks. Compliance, clearance and validation steps add time.

Ask a question →
Is my application actually confidential?
+
Yes. Your name and details never move without your explicit approval, one company at a time. Nothing goes into a resume database and nothing is circulated to a distribution list.
How much gross profit do I need to be represented?
+
We typically represent ocean and air freight forwarding producers writing $500K to $5M+ in annual gross profit. If you are building toward that number, it is still worth a conversation — timing matters more than the current figure.
What compensation should I expect?
+
Base salaries on current freight forwarding sales searches generally run $120K to $175K, with commission structures on top that pay a real share of the gross profit you generate. Live ranges are shown on every assignment.
How long does a search take?
+
Most freight forwarding sales searches run four to twelve weeks from first conversation to signed offer, depending on the vertical and how many decision makers are involved.
Do I need a resume to start?
+
No. A short note about your lanes, verticals and book size is enough to begin. We build the presentation with you before anything is shared.
Which verticals and markets do you cover?
+
Ocean and air freight forwarding across the United States, with specialist coverage in project cargo, life sciences and pharma, perishables, entertainment and touring logistics, and Asia, LATAM and Europe trade lanes.
Is there any cost to me as a candidate?
+
Never. Our fees are paid by hiring companies. Representation, market intelligence and compensation benchmarking are free to producers.
What happens after I submit the form?
+
Darius reviews it personally and replies within one business day, usually with two or three seats that fit your book — or an honest answer that nothing fits right now.
Apply confidentially

Nothing is owed. Nothing changes unless you want it to.
