Account Manager

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:

1. 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!
2. 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.
