Who you are:
The Business Development Executive (BDE) is a senior, quota-carrying sales representative responsible for driving direct and indirect revenue growth within Geotab’s most valuable Executive Accounts (end customer fleets greater than 10,000 vehicles). This role is directly accountable for achieving an ARR (Annual Recurring Revenue) growth target across a prescribed list of Executive Accounts by leading complex and consultative sales and pursuit strategies. This revenue growth target can come from new customer acquisition and existing customer upselling activities, where it is determined that the BDE had a measurable (within SFDC) influence on the sale.
To succeed in this role, exceptional executive presence is essential. You must command the room when engaging C-suite leadership, VP-level fleet executives, and board-level stakeholders—articulating complex commercial value propositions with confidence, strategic clarity, and gravitas. Equally vital is deep domain expertise across the transportation, logistics, and supply chain ecosystem. The ideal candidate possesses an intimate understanding of commercial fleet operations, cold-chain logistics, freight dynamics, driver safety, telematics, and DOT/FMCSA regulatory compliance. You should speak the language of enterprise fleet operators fluently, translating granular operational challenges—such as fuel optimization, preventative maintenance, compliance risk, and asset utilization—into high-impact telematics and fleet intelligence solutions.
