Job Description
AADE Trans is a Gurgaon-based freight forwarding and 3PL company, operating since 2015. We move ocean and air cargo for importers and exporters through a growing network of overseas partner agents.
We recently expanded into warehousing and distribution, so we now offer an integrated freight → storage → distribution solution. We're a lean, founder-led team entering our next stage of growth, and we're looking for a senior leader to drive it.
The RoleThis is a leadership role with two parts:
- Build and own AADE's direct customer business
- Run the branch as a profit centre
You'll report directly to the Managing Director and have real influence over how the company grows.
What You'll Own- Revenue growth: Acquire and grow direct shipper accounts (importers, exporters, manufacturers, D2C brands) across ocean (FCL/LCL) and air freight
- Book of business: Bring in and convert accounts using your existing industry relationships
- Branch P&L: Own branch revenue, margins, receivables, and cost control
- Pricing & partnerships: Negotiate with shipping lines, airlines, NVOCCs, and overseas agents, and strengthen our international agent network
- Integrated selling: Cross-sell warehousing, distribution, and customs services into freight accounts
- Team leadership: Build, lead, and mentor sales and operations staff, and set targets and performance standards
- Market strategy: Identify target trade lanes, industries, and customer segments, and help shape AADE's positioning
- 6+ years in freight forwarding / international logistics, with significant time in sales or BD leadership
- Proven record of new client acquisition and revenue growth, ideally with an existing customer network in Delhi NCR / North India
- Strong command of ocean and air freight, Incoterms, customs clearance, documentation, and carrier rate structures
- P&L experience managing a branch, region, or business unit
- Established relationships with carriers, CHAs, and overseas agents (bonus)
- Team leadership experience building high-performing teams
- Entrepreneurial mindset: You build, not just maintain
Bonus: Exposure to warehousing/3PL, e-commerce logistics, or market-entry projects
What We Offer- A senior leadership role with direct access to the founder and real decision-making authority
- Competitive fixed compensation plus a performance-linked incentive structure [7-9LPA]
- The chance to shape the growth of an established forwarder expanding into new verticals
