What are the responsibilities and job description for the Business Development Lead position at Strategic Employment Partners (SEP)?
SENIOR BUSINESS DEVELOPMENT REP — DOMESTIC FREIGHT
Clark, NJ | Onsite | Base $85–120K | OTE $150–190K uncapped commission| Relocation covered
We're recruiting on behalf of a well-established global logistics company with 20 years in international freight that has been aggressively building out its domestic division, and it's growing fast.
This is a pure new business role: you'll be targeting U.S. shippers, owning your pipeline from cold outreach through close across FTL, LTL, and intermodal. No inherited accounts. No account management. Full ownership.
They work in a high-energy, loud, competitive sales floor. This is a team that tracks activity, celebrates wins publicly, and pushes each other. If you prefer something quieter or more structured, this one isn't the right fit. If you do your best work in that kind of environment, this is the role for you, and you should apply now!
Must-Have Qualifications:
- 8–10 years of domestic freight sales experience
- 3PL or brokerage background (not freight forwarding)
- Shipper-facing sales, not exclusively carrier-side
- FTL / LTL / intermodal experience
- Proven new logo hunter with strong prospecting cadence
- Senior floor presence — mentorship, informal leadership, or lead signals
- Chicago-based candidates encouraged to apply; relocation covered from anywhere
COMPENSATION
Base: $80,000–$120,000

BENEFITS & PERKS
- 100% company-paid medical insurance (employee)
- 50% premium covered for spouses and dependents
- 14 days PTO
- Uncapped commission — your earning potential is yours to control
