Account Executive
Role summary
Written by MyIslandJob from the job title and employer. See the employer's page for the full description.
The Account Executive is responsible for developing new business and managing relationships with existing customers for FedEx services. Typical requirements include proven sales or account-management experience, strong communication and negotiation skills, commercial awareness, confidence using CRM systems, and the ability to manage a sales territory independently. Experience in logistics, freight, express delivery, or another business-to-business environment is advantageous. The successful candidate is expected to meet revenue and activity targets, identify customer needs, prepare proposals, conduct regular account reviews, resolve issues professionally, and build long-term partnerships. A current driver's licence and willingness to travel locally may also be required, depending on the territory.
Can I work in Australia?
Never pay anyone for a visa or a job offer. A real employer pays the permit costs and never asks you for money.
How it works
How it works: Truck drivers and warehouse staff are not on the Core Skills list; supply and distribution managers and supply chain analysts are, at AUD 79,423+.
Before you apply: Driver jobs need a licence that counts in that country, and a foreign one may not carry over: Japan's truck-driver visa asks for a class 1 licence, Qatar residents sit a driving test, and Ireland's permit list asks for a CE or C1E truck licence or one it recognises.
Watch for: Warehouse and driver jobs go to people who already have work rights, including working holiday makers (6 months per employer); office roles are the ones sponsored.
