The Opportunity:

Indonesia is one of Flexport’s newest and fastest growing markets, and you’ll be our first commercial hire here. You’ll set the tone and the standard for how Flexport sells and serves clients in Indonesia. The commercial organization we build will rest on the foundation you lay, so your work will shape the business for years.

You’ll work independently from day one and meet the high standards of our global commercial team. We need a self-starter who sees what the market needs and acts on it.

You’ll be the main driver of our growth in Indonesia. You’ll build new client relationships, deepen existing ones, and find the places in a client’s supply chain where Flexport can add value. You’ll own a book of business and the long-term relationship with each client. You’ll show clients what Flexport offers, then build solutions that move their business forward. Flexport’s global teams will work alongside you to deliver for clients in Indonesia, across Asia, and around the world.

As our team grows, you will also manage and mentor Account Managers on your team and shape how they grow.
