ARE YOU INTERESTED IN JOINING AN INNOVATIVE LOGISTICS TECHNOLOGY COMPANY?
Loadsmart is a growth-stage technology company valued at over $1 billion (a true Tech Unicorn)!
We are a collection of industry veterans and user-centered engineers using innovative technology to fearlessly reinvent the future of freight by helping shippers, brokers, warehouses and carriers to move more with less.
With headquarters in Chicago and a globally distributed remote team, Loadsmart continues to attract top talent committed to driving meaningful change. We seek professionals who embody our core values: curiosity, clarity, results, commitment, and teamwork.
We are looking for a high-agency, hands-on Head of Global Sales to join our team! We are seeking an experienced, battle-tested sales leader who thrives in a flat structure, rolls up their sleeves to manage pipeline discipline, and uses data to drive strategic GTM decisions. Reporting directly to the CEO, you will bridge the gap between high-level go-to-market strategy and day-to-day tactical execution. You will unify our enterprise sales organization, lead senior individual contributors, and proactively identify and fix operational gaps. This is a very exciting and lucrative opportunity for the right leader.

Proven expertise architecting global sales motions across complex, multi-product enterprise SaaS portfolios
