Enterprise Account Executive
Parallel Systems is seeking a commercially driven, hands-on sales leader to own
revenue generation and customer expansion across freight railroads, intermodal
operators, and logistics partners. This is not a transactional sales role. You
will operate at the intersection of freight economics, operations, and
technology, positioning Parallel’s autonomous rail system to unlock new revenue,
improve lane performance, and modernize how railroads compete with trucking.
You will act as a trusted commercial partner to customers, combining sales
execution with a deep understanding of freight flows, lane economics, and
customer value creation. This role is ideal for someone who has sold complex
freight or logistics solutions, understands how shippers and brokers think about
lanes, pricing, and service levels, and can translate that knowledge into
durable rail partnerships.
You will collaborate closely with product, engineering, operations, and
executive leadership to ensure commercial strategy, customer commitments, and
deployments are aligned and scalable.
Responsibilities:
* Own end-to-end sales execution across a defined universe of freight rail,
intermodal, and logistics customers, from prospecting through close and
expansion.
* Lead customer discovery focused on freight lanes, shipper needs, service
reliability, and revenue opportunities enabled by Parallel’s system.
* Position Parallel’s vehicle and software platform as a revenue and network
optimization solution, not just a technology deployment.
* Develop commercial proposals, pilot structures, pricing models, and long-term
agreements tied to customer ROI and lane performance.
* Build strong relationships with customer commercial, operations, and
executive teams to drive internal alignment and deal momentum.
* Translate market and customer insights into go-to-market strategy, sales
messaging, and product priorities.
* Create repeatable sales playbooks for outbound strategy, deal qualification,
pipeline management, and post-sale expansion.
* Represent Parallel at industry events, customer meetings, and strategic
forums with credibility across both commercial and operational audiences.
* Partner with legal, regulatory, and policy teams to ensure commercial
structures align with rail and transportation requirements.
What Success Looks Like:
* After 30 days: You understand Parallel’s system, target customer segments,
and freight use cases well enough to engage credibly in commercial
conversations and advance early-stage deals.
* After 60 days: You independently run customer engagements end to end,
including deal strategy, internal alignment, customer follow-ups, and
executive-level discussions.
* After 90 days: You are actively running outbound and inbound sales campaigns
across your target accounts, building pipeline, advancing opportunities, and
managing early customer relationships. Ideally, you have closed an initial
deal and built a healthy pipeline across multiple stages, with clear line of
sight to future revenue growth and expansion.
Basic Requirements:
* 3+ years in sales, business development, or customer-facing commercial roles
selling complex technology platforms.
* Demonstrated experience selling complex B2B solutions tied to disruptive
technology.
* Ability and desire to operate as a high-impact individual contributor with
ownership of revenue outcomes.
* Experience working in startups, new business lines, or early-stage commercial
environments.
Preferred Qualifications:
* Background in freight brokerage, third-party logistics, or shipper-facing
sales.
* Strong understanding of how shippers, brokers, and carriers evaluate service,
cost, and reliability.
* Comfort engaging deeply on lane economics, network design, and operational
tradeoffs.
* Strong systems thinking with the ability to connect customer pain points to
scalable commercial solutions.
* Clear, confident communication style that builds trust across operational,
commercial, and executive stakeholders.
Compensation:
* The expected salary for this role is between $180,000-$200,000 plus
commission/incentive pay, with an on-target expectation of
$300,000-$500,000.
