Full job description
Ready to bet on yourself?
What We Are Looking For:
Position Overview
Circle Logistics is seeking a driven Senior Account Manager to join our Atlanta, GA team. This role operates in a cradle-to-grave brokerage environment, meaning you will be responsible for the full lifecycle of your accounts—from prospecting and securing new customers to managing freight execution and maintaining long-term client relationships.
This is a remote role to start. Once our office opens in the greater Atlanta area, the role will be an on-site position.
What Success Looks Like
- Consistently generating new business and expanding customer relationships
- Building a stable book of accounts that produces a consistent margin
- Successfully managing freight from pickup through delivery
- Maintaining strong customer retention through service and communication
- Contributing to the growth and performance of the overall team
Official Title: Experienced Freight Account Manager – Atlanta, GA (Hybrid)
Cradle-to-Grave Freight | Base + Uncapped Commission | Strong Growth Potential
If you have experience managing freight from the initial quote through final delivery and want your income to reflect your performance, this opportunity is worth a look.
We’re hiring an experienced Freight Account Manager in Atlanta, GA, a high-growth, financially stable organization that has never had an unprofitable month: strong leadership, a proven model, and real opportunity for advancement.
What This Role Is:
- This is a true cradle-to-grave freight account management position. You own the shipment and the customer relationship from beginning to end.
- Manage freight from quoting and booking through pickup and final delivery.
- Communicate directly with customers regarding pricing, capacity, shipment updates, delays, and service concerns.
- Negotiate rates with shippers and carriers.
- Source and secure qualified carrier capacity.
- Book, dispatch, and track active shipments.
- Resolve missed appointments, service failures, capacity issues, and other freight-related problems.
- Maintain accurate shipment information within the TMS.
- Build and maintain strong customer and carrier relationships.
- Retain and grow existing accounts.
- Identify opportunities to increase shipment volume, expand lanes, and improve account profitability.
This is not a position where freight is handed off after the sale. You remain involved throughout the entire shipment and are responsible for delivering a strong customer experience from beginning to end.
Compensation
- Competitive base salary.
- Uncapped commission or performance-based incentive structure.
- Significant earning potential for high performers.
Your income will reflect the performance, retention, and growth of the accounts you manage.

- Clear path for advancement and leadership growth.
- Strong leadership and a proven operating model.
- Standard benefits package.
- Performance-driven culture that rewards production.
- Opportunity to take ownership of customer relationships and freight execution.
Who Thrives Here
- Experienced freight brokerage and 3PL professionals.
- Individuals with cradle-to-grave freight experience.
- Account managers who enjoy taking ownership of shipments and customer relationships.
- Professionals who can manage customers, carriers, and multiple shipments at the same time.
- People who communicate proactively and solve problems before they escalate.
- Individuals who understand the urgency and unpredictability of the freight industry.
- Those who are motivated by account growth, profitability, customer retention, and performance-based earnings.
