Overview
Interested in applying for this opportunity? Contact Clint Lester with Saige Partners at clester@saigepartners.com Our client is seeking an Agent Development Director to own top-line revenue growth across our transportation and brokerage network. This isn\'t a transactional sales role—it's a strategic position for someone who understands how to build scalable agent networks while simultaneously developing customer freight opportunities that keep capacity flowing. You\'ll be responsible for recruiting and developing high-performing agents and fleet owners, closing new customer accounts, and ensuring both sides of the equation work together to drive profitable growth.

Unlike traditional sales or recruiting roles, this position requires you to think strategically about market coverage, regional growth opportunities, and how customer needs align with network capabilities.
