About Verde Trader
Verde Trader is a fast-growing marketplace for reusable industrial packaging, including IBC totes and other bulk containers. We help companies recover, reuse, buy, and sell containers nationwide, reducing waste while creating real cost savings for businesses.
We're looking for driven sales talent—especially people with experience in freight brokerage, logistics, dispatch, transportation, or carrier/vendor sales—to help us expand our national vendor and customer network.
Why This Role Is a Great Fit for Freight Brokers
If you've worked in freight, you already know how to move fast, build relationships, negotiate, make calls, and manage a pipeline. This role uses many of those same skills, but instead of chasing loads and rates all day, you'll be building a high-value network of vendors and customers in a growing recycling and reusable packaging marketplace.
You'll be talking to businesses across the country, sourcing opportunities, qualifying leads, and helping create consistent recovery programs for reusable totes and containers.
Purpose of the Role
As a Sales Development Representative, you'll play a key role in growing Verde Trader's national marketplace. You'll prospect and onboard new vendors and customers, help drive consistent tote recovery, and support a marketplace that keeps reusable containers in circulation.
Your work will help companies reduce costs, improve operational efficiency, and turn used packaging into value.
