We’re on the hunt for a driven and energetic Business Development Manager with proven experience in the 3PL and fulfilment sector. Someone who understands the landscape, knows the challenges, and is excited about building relationships, spotting opportunities, and driving growth.

This isn’t a role for someone who waits for the phone to ring , we’re looking for someone with an entrepreneurial spark, a knack for making connections, and the determination to turn conversations into partnerships.

The Role

You’ll be joining our client’s growing commercial team, working closely with senior leadership to expand their customer base and help shape their future growth in the fulfilment industry. Day-to-day, you’ll be identifying opportunities, meeting prospects, and building a strong sales pipeline that converts into long-term relationships.

Your success will come from being proactive, curious, and confident in opening doors. If you thrive on hitting targets and want to make a tangible impact within a business, this role will give you plenty of scope.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Generating and nurturing new leads, from first conversations to confirmed business wins

• Building and maintaining a healthy pipeline, keeping everything updated in the CRM

• Researching industries, organisations, and decision-makers to uncover opportunities

• Reaching out to prospects — whether that’s calls, emails, networking, or events — and sparking meaningful conversations

• Supporting the development of marketing and sales campaigns to drive growth

• Keeping your finger on the pulse of the market and competitors, bringing insight back into the team

• Attending client meetings, site visits, and industry events to represent the business

• Collaborating with colleagues to create proposals, pitches, and sales materials that win

What We’re Looking For

• Proven background in 3PL, logistics, or fulfilment with an understanding of industry-specific challenges and opportunities

• A track record of building and converting a strong sales pipeline

• Someone who is proactive, resilient, and comfortable working independently

• Strong communication and relationship-building skills — whether on the phone, in person, or via email

• Confident using CRM systems and digital tools to manage your pipeline

• A natural networker who can turn connections into opportunities

• Organised, target-driven, and motivated by success

Why Work For Them?

Our client is an ambitious and fast-growing business within the fulfilment space, investing in their future and in the people who help drive it.

By joining their team, you’ll be part of an organisation that:

• Values entrepreneurial thinking and gives you the freedom to make an impact

• Has a strong reputation in the 3PL and fulfilment industry with exciting growth plans

• Encourages collaboration, support, and shared success across the business

• Offers genuine opportunities for career progression as they continue to expand

This is your chance to step into a role where your industry experience will be recognised, your ideas will matter, and your success will be rewarded.
