- Build and maintain strong, long-term relationships with clients, becoming a trusted advisor and point of contact.
- Uncover business development opportunities within the existing client base to improve profitability and share of wallet.
- Deliver accurate and timely quotes, proposals, and follow-up communication.
- Work closely with internal departments including Inside Sales and Customer Services to ensure a seamless customer experience.
- Regularly update and maintain activity reports, pipeline forecasts, and client records in the company CRM system.
- Stay aligned with evolving company strategy, and demonstrate flexibility in adapting to changes within the logistics and IT environment.
Candidate Profile
Experience & Knowledge
- Minimum of 2 years’ sales experience, ideally within logistics, supply chain, or freight forwarding.
- Familiarity with FCL, LCL, air freight, and broader supply chain operations.
- Strong understanding of the logistics market and an ability to hold informed, consultative conversations with clients.

The successful applicant will play a key role in growing the company’s footprint in the UK market by offering clients smarter, more efficient supply chain solutions.
