Aurora, IL Full Time
POSTED ON 4/16/2026
AVAILABLE BEFORE 5/18/2026

An established transportation organization is seeking an experienced freight brokerage professional to take ownership of customer relationships and day-to-day freight execution. This role is ideal for someone who prefers full autonomy over their accounts and enjoys being accountable for both revenue generation and service delivery.

This is not a handoff role. The right individual will manage the entire lifecycle of freight — from customer acquisition through execution and retention.


Role Overview

  • Develop and maintain a portfolio of shipper accounts
  • Independently price freight and secure carrier capacity
  • Execute shipments from tender to final delivery
  • Serve as the primary contact for customers and carriers
  • Resolve service issues proactively and professionally
  • Identify growth opportunities within existing accounts
  • Maintain accurate activity and performance tracking in internal systems


Required Background

  • Prior experience in freight brokerage or third-party logistics
  • Direct involvement in both sales and operations
  • Working knowledge of spot market pricing and capacity trends
  • Proven ability to manage accounts independently
  • Strong communication, negotiation, and problem-solving skills


Compensation & Growth

  • Competitive compensation structure
  • Performance-based incentives with no earnings cap
  • Comprehensive benefits package
  • Long-term growth opportunities for high performers


This opportunity is best suited for a broker who values ownership, accountability, and the ability to build something sustainable within a stable organization.
