Deal Management & Closing • Manage opportunities from qualification through negotiation and close with clear ownership and consistent sales momentum. • Develop compelling commercial proposals that connect Flexport's solution to the customer's business priorities. • Lead commercial discussions and negotiations within Flexport's pricing and contracting frameworks. • Avoid competing solely on price and clearly communicate the value and differentiation of Flexport's platform and services. • Coordinate with
