Role overview
Summary
This 12-month Commercial Graduate Trainee program at Flexport offers recent graduates four rotations across Sales Development, Account Management, Sales, and an elective in Operations, Marketing, or Customs. The program aims to help trainees find their ideal commercial career path within global trade, leading to a permanent role upon successful completion.
The opportunity:
You just graduated and you know you want a commercial career, but you're not sure which lane yet. Sales? Account management? Something else?
12 months inside Flexport's commercial engine. Four rotations, four mentors, one goal: find where you fit.
Months 1–3: Open doors as an SDR
Months 4–6: Manage clients as an Account Manager
Months 7–9: Close deals alongside a top salesperson
Months 10–12: Go deep in Operations, Marketing, or Customs — your pick
You'll have a named 1:1 mentor each block, plus one programme-wide buddy who stays with you the entire year. You'll also build with low-code tools alongside our engineering team. Global trade runs on tech now, not just relationships.
The payoff: after a successful completion of the program you will get a permanent Account Executive, Business Development Rep, or Account Manager role by month 12, plus a company-wide network most new hires take years to build.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
Block 1 – Sales Development: generate pipeline through outbound outreach, qualify leads, and keep Salesforce updated.
Block 2 – Account Management: support client meetings, identify upsell/renewal opportunities, and learn the customer lifecycle.
Block 3 – Sales: support a full sales cycle from discovery to close, including deal structuring and negotiation.
Block 4 – Elective: complete a project in Operations, Marketing, or Customs of your choice.
Alongside all four blocks, you'll also join Engineering sessions every two weeks, learn low-code/no-code tools, and build your own capstone project by year-end.
