About this role
Flexport is looking for an Inbound Sales Development Representative to help qualify and advance new business opportunities in their Chicago office. In this role, you'll handle inbound leads, work closely with marketing to refine sales funnels, and partner with Account Executives to prioritize strategic accounts. You'll spend significant time on the phone and via email explaining Flexport's global trade solutions to prospects, demonstrating how the platform solves problems specific to each person you reach.
The position suits someone with strong communication skills and genuine comfort with cold calling—this is a phone-heavy role where you'll be talking to new people daily. A bachelor's or associate's degree is preferred, though one year of relevant sales experience can substitute, and new graduates are encouraged to apply. You'll also have the chance to shadow Account Executives and develop skills for advancement within the sales team. Given Flexport's work in a regulated industry, a compliance-first mindset matters here. Base salary is $55,000, plus bonus, equity, and standard benefits including medical, dental, and flexible time off.
