• Client Champion: Build real rapport with customers, providing proactive updates and expert solutions.

What You’ll Bring

• Industry Experience: 2+ years in a UK freight forwarding environment.
• Multimodal Fluency: You know your Bill of Lading from your Air Waybill and can pivot between modes with ease.
• Systems Savvy: Experience with CargoWise, MultiFreight, or similar platforms is a major plus.
• The Mindset: You’re organized, detail-oriented, and thrive when the pressure is on.

The Rewards

• Real Progression: A company that promotes from within and invests heavily in your technical training.
• The Culture: A supportive, "people-first" environment right here in the heart of Liverpool’s logistics hub.
