About This Role
# International Freight Sales Representative — Canada (Toronto preferred)
**Compensation:** Base + uncapped commission. Comp open for the right international forwarder seller with a transferable CA/US book.
**Location:** **Canada** — strong preference for **Toronto / Greater Toronto Area** candidates, open to other Ontario or Canadian locations for the right book. Remote with periodic travel.
A growing international freight forwarding company is hiring a Canada-based international freight sales representative to build and grow its **Canada / US trade-lane** book. This is a hunter seat: you carry your own book, open new-logo accounts, and partner with operations to deliver end-to-end. **Immediate hire.**
## What you'll do
- Carry your own international freight forwarding book across Canada / US trade lanes (ocean **and** air)
- Hunt and close new-logo accounts across Canada with cross-border and international freight needs
- Manage the full sales cycle: prospect → discover → quote → win → handoff to operations
- Bring or build a portable book — accounts that follow you, not just history
## What we're looking for
- **Currently in the shipping & logistics industry** — not transferable from outside the vertical
- **International freight forwarding sales experience** — ocean **and** air
- **CA/US cross-border trade-lane track record** — you know the process, the lanes, the players, and the customers
- **Hunter DNA** — proven ability to open new logos, not just grow an inherited book
- Self-directed and comfortable carrying a number remotely, based in the Toronto area
- Customs brokerage / drayage / intermodal familiarity a plus
## Why this role
- Real cross-border book to build — operations handles execution so you focus on selling
- Uncapped commission on your personal production
- Direct, low-bureaucracy operating culture
- Immediate hire — no slow process
## Not a fit
- Sellers without ocean **and** air international forwarding experience
- Outside-the-vertical reps (domestic trucking only, general logistics, or non-freight transferees)
- Farmers / account managers without a true new-logo closing track record
