About the Position
Were looking for a proven hunter who has spent their career selling warehouse and fulfillment solutions into the pharmaceutical and life sciences space - and who understands that in this vertical compliance capability is the sale not a checkbox.
This role sells the full ITS Roadtex D&F platform: ITS omnichannel ambient warehouse and fulfillment for CPG manufacturers food shippers and e-commerce customers and Roadtex temperature-controlled (confectionery-grade 5565F) warehouse distribution and value-added services for customers who need food-safe OTIF-compliant retail-ready distribution.
There is no existing book to manage. You will prospect qualify design solutions and close - from first call through contract. The platform is differentiated. The opportunity is real. We need someone who can execute.

- Engage VP and C-suite supply chain logistics and procurement contacts. This is not a coordinator-level sales motion.
- Build multi-service proposals and ROI models - combining ambient warehouse temp-controlled storage VAS and transportation into a single integrated solution.
- Work with ITS and Roadtex operations and pricing teams to validate solutions operationally before proposals go out.
- Use the Echo enterprise account base to identify cross-sell opportunities for ITS D&F and Roadtex capabilities.

- Transition closed accounts cleanly to the Enterprise Account Management team and stay involved where needed to protect revenue actualization.
- Show up at trade events customer meetings and industry forums specific to food and nutrition supply chain.
- Give leadership straight pipeline reporting - whats real whats at risk whats closing.
