Job Description

Key Account Manager – Logistics

 Newark, New Jersey (Port of NY/NJ Market)
 $100K – $160K Base + Bonus + Full Benefits

Own the relationship. Drive growth. Be the difference.

We are hiring a Key Account Manager to manage and expand high-value logistics accounts tied to one of the busiest freight corridors in the U.S. — the Port of New York and New Jersey.

This is a high-impact, client-facing role where you’ll oversee major accounts, solve complex logistics challenges, and play a direct role in revenue growth and customer retention.

🔹 What You’ll Do

• Serve as the primary point of contact for key customer accounts
• Manage day-to-day operations, escalations, and service performance
• Oversee KPIs, SLAs, and reporting to ensure best-in-class service
• Identify opportunities to grow accounts (upsell / cross-sell)
• Lead pricing, renewals, and RFQs
• Work cross-functionally with operations, pricing, and leadership teams
• Deliver solutions across drayage, intermodal, truckload, and freight forwarding

🔹 What We’re Looking For

• 3–10+ years in logistics, freight brokerage, or freight forwarding
• Experience managing high revenue or enterprise-level accounts
• Strong understanding of:
• Port / drayage operations (highly preferred in Newark market)
• Domestic and/or international shipping
• Proven ability to retain and grow customer relationships
• Strong communication, problem-solving, and organizational skills

🔹 What You’ll Get

• Competitive base salary + performance bonus
• Access to established, high-volume accounts
• Growth path into Senior / Global Account Management or Leadership
• A fast-paced, high-visibility role in a critical logistics hub

🔹 Why This Role Stands Out

This is not a cold-calling sales job.
You’ll own meaningful accounts, influence strategy, and directly impact revenue in one of the most important logistics markets in the country.
