Job Description The Role: This role is all about growth.

In 2025, we made a deliberate strategic choice to exit the freight forwarding business to eliminate conflicts of interest, choosing instead to build a trust-first partner model.

It worked, and we now have a solid foundation of 30+ partners.

Reporting to the Chief Operating Officer (COO), your mandate is to take this foundation and aggressively scale it.

We are looking for a commercial leader who can identify, pitch, and onboard current partners while turning our existing network into a massive revenue engine.

You will sit at the intersection of Sales, Operations, and Technology, acting as the primary catalyst for our partner channel expansion. (Note: This is a highly autonomous, individual contributor role).

Responsibilities: Drive Partner Acquisition: Hunt, pitch, and onboard new freight forwarders, carriers, and logistics providers to expand the Border

Buddy partner network.

Accelerate Channel Revenue: Turn partnerships into active, predictable lead-generation engines.

Train and enable partners to confidently sell integrated Border

Buddy customs solutions, leveraging Zipments tech tools.

Build for Scale: Take a network that is currently relationship-driven and build and implement playbooks, standard agreements, and scalable pricing frameworks needed to grow it exponentially.

Drive Tech Adoption: Work with the Zipments team to help partners embed proprietary tech tools (tracking widgets, duty calculators, bond sales) to drive customs brokerage leads and increase stickiness.

Manage Key Relationships: Establish a strategic cadence (MBRs/QBRs) with top-tier partners to ensure ongoing health, uncover up-sell opportunities, and route all customs brokerage leads seamlessly into Border

Buddy.

What Success Looks Like: Net-Recent Growth: Measurable, significant increase in new partners onboarded to the Border

Buddy ecosystem.

Revenue Generation:



A massive uptick in inbound lead volume and closed revenue generated directly from the partner channel.

Tech Stickiness: Zipments tool adoption has measurably increased across the partner network.

Qualifications Who You Are (Experience and Skills): The Hunter Mentality: 35 years of experience in Business Development, Channel Sales, or Partner Growth. (Experience in freight forwarding or customs brokerage is a massive advantage).

Growth-Obsessed: You don''t just manage relationships; you know how to build a pipeline, close deals, and drive commercial revenue.

Comfortable in Ambiguity: You lean into evolving spaces and enjoy the challenge of building the map while driving the car.

Exceptional Communicator: You can confidently pitch to external teams, navigate complex partner dynamics, and collaborate internally.

Tech-Savvy: You are energized by modern technology and eager to leverage AI tools and CRM data to accelerate your pipeline.

Team Player: You take extreme ownership of outcomes and genuinely care about the partner and end-client experience.
