About the Company :

This organisation is a global shipping and logistics consultancy that partners with leading international carriers to help small and medium-sized businesses send and manage their shipments more efficiently.

Operating within one of the world’s largest logistics networks, the company provides SME clients with exclusive rates, innovative shipping technology, and exceptional customer service.

This role is ideal for someone who wants to build a long-term career as a professional sales executive, backed by exceptional training and clear progression pathways.

This position offers a competitive base salary and lifetime residual commission, ensuring serious earning potential as you mature into a top-performing sales executive and account manager.

Given how comprehensive the training is, we are able to consider those who do not currently have sales experience but who can show the right mentality, competitive nature and attitude to learning to flourish in a sales environment.
