Houston Metro | Patriot Freight Group Build Your Own Book. Compete in the Market, Not Against Your Coworkers.
This role is for builders, competitors, and people who want their performance to directly influence their future.
At Patriot Freight Group, we believe competition belongs in the marketplace. You should be competing to win customers, solve problems, grow relationships, and build a profitable book of business -- not fighting dozens or hundreds of coworkers internally for the same accounts.
Our model is built around clear account ownership and a team that helps each other win.
If you are competitive, coachable, resilient, comfortable picking up the phone, and motivated by the opportunity to build something of your own, keep reading.
You do not need logistics experience.We can teach you freight. We can teach you systems, operations, prospecting, negotiation, customer development, and how to manage a profitable book of business.
What we cannot teach is drive, urgency, accountability, resilience, and the desire to compete.We Don't Just Hire Account Executives. We Develop Them.
You will enter Patriot Freight Group's structured First 90 Days Account Executive Development Program.
