Work closely with branch and operations teams to ensure seamless onboarding and service delivery.

Manage client relationships from first contact through to long-term account growth.

Provide regular updates on activity, pipeline, and performance visibility

What We're Looking For

Proven track record in freight forwarding sales or business development (multi-modal ideal).

Strong commercial acumen and ability to identify growth opportunities.

Experience selling logistics services into events, exhibitions, or fashion supply chains is highly desirable.

Self-motivated, proactive, and comfortable managing your own schedule and activity.

Excellent communication and relationship-building skills.

Why Apply?

Fully autonomous working model - trust and flexibility built around performance.

Exceptional earning potential with industry-leading commission (20% for first year, 10% ongoing).

Opportunity to lead business growth in an exciting, developing niche market.

Backed by a well-established global logistics brand with full operational support.
