ACF Global Logistics is a privately held, woman-owned global logistics provider built for shippers that need real control over international freight, customs, and cross-border supply chains.

We operate our own offices and teams across the U.S., Mexico, Europe, and Asia, with in-house customs brokerage, bonded warehousing, and direct carrier relationships. No agents. No handoffs. No guesswork.

Our new Cincinnati office was opened specifically to support experienced domestic logistics professionals who want to expand what they can offer their customers into international, cross-border, and customs-driven freight—without rebuilding their book from scratch.

This role is designed for successful domestic freight brokers and logistics account executives who:

• Have a strong, relationship-driven book of domestic business
• Are increasingly fielding customer questions about imports, exports, Mexico, or customs
• Want a credible global platform behind them when those conversations come up
• Prefer staying customer-facing rather than becoming an operations specialist

• Identify opportunities tied to imports, exports, Mexico flows, bonded freight, and landed-cost optimization
• Build long-term customer relationships centered on execution, reliability, and trust
• Collaborate with ACF’s global teams to design practical, executable logistics solutions
• Present routing options, cost benchmarks, and transit comparisons clearly and confidently
• Remain the primary commercial point of contact while leveraging ACF’s in-house capabilities
• Track pipeline activity and performance through CRM tools

• 5+ years of experience in domestic brokerage or logistics sales
• Proven success managing and growing customer relationships
• Interest in expanding into global logistics (international experience not required)
• Consultative selling mindset—not transactional
• Strong communication, organization, and follow-through
• Comfort using CRM platforms and basic sales reporting tools

• Ground-floor opportunity in ACF’s newly opened Cincinnati office
• In-house customs brokerage
• Real global offices, not agent networks or third-party handoffs
• Ability to grow wallet share within existing customer relationships
• Direct access to operations, customs, and leadership teams
• Clear path to long-term growth as ACF expands its Midwest and cross-border footprint

• Competitive base salary with uncapped commission
• Ability to expand revenue within existing customer relationships
• Full support from in-house global operations and customs teams
• Autonomy to manage and grow your own book of business
• Career progression tied to office and company expansion
• Domestic and international travel opportunities
