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.

Reporting directly to the AVP, Business Development for Transportation and Logistics, the Business Development Executive (BDE) is responsible for owning and driving strategic account sales from start to finish across Geotab’s highest-value Executive Accounts (end-customer fleets exceeding 10,000 vehicles).

Deeply knowledgeable in transportation, logistics, and supply chain dynamics, you will command the room with C-suite and VP-level fleet executives to solve complex operational challenges. You will collaborate seamlessly with our established signature customer account teams to maximize long-term client value and work hand-in-hand with our channel partners and broader ecosystem to deliver tailored, multi-faceted solution sales.
