THE ROLE

You build the pipeline that becomes revenue. You will be responsible for driving top of funnel for all Forge services: freight forwarding, customs brokerage, and tariff refunds.

You will work in person, five days a week, in New York City. You get direct founder access, and you will be expected to have an opinion. If you want remote, this is not the role.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • Prospect every day. Cold call, email, and social.
  • Run the plays & create more. Start with what works and then go invent your own.
  • Qualify and book. Short discovery with C-suite, VPs, and directors in supply chain, operations, and finance. Decide quickly, then book the demo.
  • Bring back what you hear. You talk to more operators in a week than anyone else here. The objections and the new segments should reach the founders while they are still fresh.
  • Test and measure. Subject lines, openers, sequences. Track conversion at every step.

BONUS POINTS IF YOU

  • Speak another language fluently
  • Have experience in logistics

WHY FORGE

  • Founding-level ownership over a core function of the business
  • Small team, fast decisions, no bureaucracy
  • Potential for rapid career growth as we grow
  • Build the playbook, then build the automation that replaces it
  • Introducing new technology into a traditionally slow moving industry

COMPENSATION & BENEFITS

  • Free lunches & dinners
  • 401k matching
  • Health insurance
  • Unlimited PTO
  • Competitive salary: we offer three cash/equity balance options; no negotiation needed
