About the Role

We are looking for a motivated Sales & Logistics Coordinator to support lead generation and client relationship management for a growing logistics company. This role is ideal for someone who enjoys sales outreach and pipeline management, but is equally comfortable with administrative follow-through — our sales process involves a longer cycle with detailed coordination, so strong organizational habits are just as important as sales instinct. Prior logistics knowledge is a plus, but not required — we're prioritizing the right mix of drive, organization, and adaptability.

Key Responsibilities

• Generate and qualify new leads through cold calling, email outreach, and other prospecting channels.
• Maintain and update the CRM consistently and accurately — tracking leads, follow-ups, and pipeline stages.
• Manage a long, multi-touch sales cycle, ensuring no lead or opportunity falls through the cracks.
• Coordinate follow-up communications with prospects and existing clients.
• Support customer service efforts to help retain clients and prevent churn, switching fluidly between outreach and support as needed.
• Assist in organizing and structuring internal sales processes (currently informal/unmapped).
• Provide general administrative support to the sales and commercial team.
• Help identify potential focus niches/verticals as the company refines its sales strategy.

Requirements

• Previous experience in sales, lead generation, or customer-facing roles (or strong motivation to learn).
• Excellent organizational skills and comfort with repetitive, detail-oriented tasks (e.g., cold calling, CRM upkeep).
• Strong written and verbal English communication skills.
• Ability to multitask and stay organized in a fast-paced, sometimes fast-paced, sometimes slower-moving sales cycle.
• Comfortable working independently in a remote environment.
• Experience using CRM systems and Microsoft Office or Google Workspace.
• A flexible, problem-solving mindset — able to move between sales outreach and customer support.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with logistics, freight forwarding, or supply chain concepts (ocean/air imports, trucking, warehousing, last-mile delivery).
• Experience with cold calling or outbound sales.
• Experience managing long sales cycles or B2B pipelines.
• Background in a role requiring both sales and administrative responsibilities.

Compensation

$1,100 - $1,300 per month

Benefits

• 10 days off per year
• 3 sick days per year
• 6 US Federal Holidays
