Confidential - Freight Forwarding Company
Canada — Ontario preferred | $70,000 - $110,000+
About This Role
# International Freight Sales Representative — Canada (Ontario preferred)
**Compensation:** Base + uncapped commission. Comp open for the right international forwarder seller with a transferable CA/US book.
**Location:** **Canada** — strong preference for **Ontario-based candidates** but open to other Canadian provinces for the right book. Remote with periodic travel.
A 100+ person, full-service international freight forwarder — FMC / MC / IATA licensed, moving 100K+ TEUs annually with U.S. offices and international footprint across India and Vietnam — is hiring a Canada-based international freight forwarding sales hire to grow their **CA/US trade-lane** book. **Immediate hire.**
## What you will do
- Carry your own international freight forwarding book on Canada / US trade lanes (ocean **and** air)
- Hunt and close new-logo accounts across Canada with cross-border freight needs
- Partner with operations across the U.S. office network to deliver end-to-end execution on every move
- Bring or build a portable book — accounts that follow you, not just history
## What we are looking for
- **Currently in the shipping & logistics industry** — not transferable from outside the vertical
- **International freight forwarding sales experience** — ocean **and** air; this is a hard requirement
- **CA/US trade-lane track record** — you know the cross-border process, the players, the lanes, and the customers
- **Strongly preferred verticals** (bonus if you've sold into any of these):
- Metals
- Lumber
- Waste paper
- Used clothing
- Agri products
- Self-directed, hunter DNA, and comfortable carrying a number remotely
## Why this role
- Real cross-border book to build — the U.S. office network 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 (general logistics, domestic trucking only, or non-freight transferees)
- Anyone whose book is U.S.-only with no Canada exposure
