Job Description

Are you a dynamic individual ready to step up and shape your future in the logistics industry?
 
 We are partnering with a highly respected, independent freight forwarding specialist known for exceptional service and a strong commitment to customer satisfaction. They are seeking a driven Account/Business Development Manager to join their growing team.
 
 This is a fantastic opportunity for someone who understands the intricacies of freight forwarding and is ready to translate that knowledge into a rewarding sales career.
 
 The Role:
 You will be responsible for a balanced portfolio of duties: nurturing strong relationships with existing, valuable clients (Account Management) while actively identifying and securing new business opportunities (Business Development).
  
Existing Customer Focus: Maintain and grow revenue within an established client base, ensuring high levels of service delivery and client retention. 
New Business Generation: Proactively source and convert new clients. You will be empowered to hunt for your own leads and build your pipeline from scratch.  This is not a high-pressure, relentless cold-calling environment. We are looking for strategic thinkers who thrive on building genuine, long-term partnerships, not just transactional wins.
 
 Who This Role Suits:
  
The Operations Expert Seeking Sales: If you are currently working in Freight Forwarding Operations (imports, exports, customs, or multi-modal) and possess excellent communication skills, a commercial mindset, and the drive to move into a customer-facing sales role—this is your perfect transition. Your operational knowledge is your competitive edge! 
The Experienced Freight Forwarding Sales Professional: If you have a proven track record in Account Management or Business Development within the freight forwarding sector and are ready for a role where you can truly influence growth without the bureaucracy of a large global firm—we want to hear from you.  Crucially, you need to be comfortable selling a premium service based on quality and expertise, not a globally recognised brand name. Your resilience, market knowledge, and relationship-building skills will be the key to your success.
 
 What We Offer:
  
Salary £35k-£40k - possibly higher, dependent on experience 
Car allowance 
Management training program 
The autonomy to manage your own territory and sales strategy 
A supportive, tight-knit team environment. 
The chance to join a growing company where your contributions are genuinely recognised.  Ready to Make Your Mark?
 If you are a motivated self-starter with a passion for freight and a desire to build a profitable sales career, apply today
