7LFreight digitizes domestic and international rate management, quoting & booking for over 3500 logistics providers and carriers globally. Plainly put, we help our customers move the world. We do this by offering incredible technology that simplifies the working life of the people who help get the goods we all use wherever they need to go

We’re not alone either. 7LFreight is a proud part of the Freightos Group, a logistics technology company that aims to make global trade frictionless. We work with some of the largest companies in the world and are traded on the Nasdaq (CRGO).

As one of the largest tech platforms for a huge industry (the phone or computer you’re reading this on was, after all shipped), we’ve been crushing it with double-digit growth, year after year.

We are already the world’s largest digital air cargo booking platform and we have a lot of people who are already coming to us from companies of all shapes and sizes. We also have a lot more prospects who don’t know how much better we can make their freight lives.

So, what we’re looking for is an eBooking Sales Executive who resides in the Chicagoland area who can use traditional field sales and relevant marketing strategies, including social media prospecting and outbound calling, to help prospect new customers and protect current customers. Our ideal applicant has field and virtual sales experience, is driven, and has knowledge of the logistics industry (LTL and Air). We will provide specific on-the-job training related to our sales, marketing strategies and products.

You’ll meet with prospective clients and encourage them to sign up for our platform and also meet with our current customers to help them understand how to use our platform, help answer any questions or rectify issues and in doing so, you’ll watch their booking count grow.

So overall, you will help lead the global transformation of the industry, introducing them to a radically faster way to book freight (Ground and Air!) and any of our other products that meet their needs.
