What are the responsibilities and job description for the Business Development Representative position at Jarrett Logistics Systems?
Business Development Representative
Employment Type: Full-time, In-Person
Location: Orrville, OH
Job Category: Sales
Jarrett is a leading (and still growing) 3rd party logistics company but we’re also family-owned. What sets us apart is the Jarrett Difference, our people are our greatest asset. We have the best people around who are not only incredible resources for all things logistics but are compassionate, innovative, courageous, and so much more. Jarrett has even won the Top Workplaces award for the past three years in a row!
Our customers come from a variety of industries, but the common denominator is that they all ship something. We’re here to coordinate things between our customer’s supply chain and carriers. To accomplish all of this, our teams use our state-of-the-art proprietary software, jShip, to set up shipments, troubleshoot, answer questions, and fix issues before they become larger problems. Here at Jarrett, we are problem-solvers, and our goal is to do great things for our customers every day.
For a Business Development Representative, a typical day might include:
- Researching potential customers using prospecting tools like ZoomInfo and LinkedIn
- Reaching out to contacts through phone calls, emails, and LinkedIn messages to pique interest and start a conversation
- Asking thoughtful questions to understand if we can solve their challenges

- Tracking your outreach, updating pipeline activity, and logging key details in HubSpot

No logistics experience? No problem! We’re more focused on finding the right person who is a culture fit as opposed to someone with logistics experience. We have a robust training program that will get you up to speed.
