Account Executive

Location West Island, Montréal, Canada
Posting type Full Time, In office
2.06.2026

When global trade freezes — closed borders, broken capacity, a Friday-night crisis — somebody has to find a way through. For 37 years, that’s been us. Trans-Pro is the Vital Engine behind the flows the economy depends on, and we’re growing the Montréal West Island team.

You run your own book of business inside a 37-year-old platform. You don’t push freight rates; you sell absorbed pressure — the certainty that the shipment moves when everything is going wrong. Multimodal scope: land, air, sea, across Canada, the US, and international lanes.

Responsibilities

  • Business development: Prospect, qualify, and close your own clients, then own those relationships from first call to long-term account.
  • Market intelligence: Track tariff shifts, capacity crunches, and disruptions, and turn them into wins for your clients.
  • Negotiation: Structure and close high-stakes deals where the lowest bidder is usually the one who fails.
  • Carrier network: Tap into our 3,000+ vetted carriers from day one and build new partnerships the Trans-Pro way.
  • Problem-solving: Handle real-time crises as they hit — stuck shipments, customs friction, weather, mechanical breakdowns.
  • Multimodal coordination: Move freight by land, air, and sea across Canada, the US, and international lanes.

Requirements

  • Experience: 2+ years in B2B sales or business development (preferred); experience in logistics, freight, or third-party logistics (3PL) is an asset.
  • Skills: Strong communication, negotiation, and interpersonal skills; comfortable with prospecting, cold calling, and meeting performance targets (KPIs).
  • Qualities: Self-motivated, organized, and able to perform well under pressure.
  • Languages: Proficiency in English, spoken and written; knowledge of French and Spanish is an asset.

Working Conditions

Compensation

  • Competitive base salary, $55K–$65K, scaled to experience
  • 30% commission on gross margin, uncapped
  • Book equity — the clients you build are yours to grow

Benefits & Perks

  • Group benefits plan: medical, dental, life insurance
  • RRSP with employer matching
  • Paid vacation + personal days
  • Monthly phone and parking allowances
  • Casual dress, team-building activities, ongoing training, and travel opportunities

Schedule & Growth

  • Monday to Friday, daytime — in-office
  • Clear path to senior trader and team-lead roles, with real autonomy and high trust

 

Clear expectations. Effort shows. Progress is visible. If you’ve got ambition, we won’t ask you to tone it down — we’ll help you turn it into growth.
