If you're hungry to win, thrive on building your own pipeline, and want to be rewarded for every deal you close, this is your moment.

• Solve problems, close deals, and grow your territory

Here's what you'll need to succeed:

• Proven B2B sales experience (field or telesales)
• Relentless drive to exceed targets
• Confidence, resilience, and strong negotiation skills
• Competitive, motivated by results and the rewards that come with success
• A full UK driving licence and access to your own car
• A proactive, organised approach and the ability to work independently
• Experience in e-commerce or logistics is a bonus, but not essential

Note: You'll need your own vehicle for the first 3 months. A car allowance is included from day one.

What You'll Get in Return

• From 30,000 to 35,000 base salary
• Uncapped commission - earn big when you deliver
• Car allowance
• Autonomy and ownership of your territory
• Career progression in a fast-growing, future-focused business
• A supportive, high-performance culture where your results speak for themselves
