Job Description:

*This position will be a Flex Location. *

The Strategic Nearshoring Account Manager serves as a trusted advisor and growth leader responsible for helping customers design, optimize, and execute nearshoring and cross-border supply chain strategies throughout North America. This role develops and expands complex supply chain opportunities by leveraging the full portfolio of UPS capabilities, including transportation, brokerage, warehousing, healthcare logistics, trade compliance, international logistics, technology solutions, and supply chain design services.

Unlike traditional sales roles focused on a single product or business unit, this position requires an enterprise mindset and a commitment to recommending the best solution for the customer regardless of organizational boundaries, compensation structures, or business unit ownership. Success is measured by the ability to create customer value, influence strategic decisions, build executive relationships, and drive long-term growth through integrated supply chain solutions.

The ideal candidate possesses deep expertise in U.S.-Mexico-Canada supply chains, nearshoring strategies, trade compliance, customs regulations, and cross-border logistics. They are equally comfortable engaging with executive leadership, supply chain professionals, operations teams, procurement leaders, and customs experts while coordinating internal stakeholders across multiple functions.
