The Opportunity

We’re looking for a motivated and ambitious Business Development Executive to join a growing company within the shipping and logistics sector.

This is a full sales-cycle role where you’ll have real ownership of your pipeline—from prospecting through to closing and account development.

If you’re confident, driven, and enjoy being out meeting clients rather than sitting behind a desk, this is a great opportunity to build a highly rewarding career in sales.

• Understand client logistics needs and present tailored solutions
• Work towards and exceed KPI and revenue targets
• Maintain accurate records of pipeline activity and sales forecasts

What We’re Looking For

• Confident, personable, and professional communicator
• Motivated by targets, incentives, and career progression
• Ability to work independently and manage your own territory
• Experience working towards KPIs or targets (sales or non-sales backgrounds considered)
• Full UK driving licence (essential)
• A proactive and resilient mindset with a strong work ethic

No prior sales or logistics experience is required—full training will be provided.

What’s On Offer

• £30,000 - £35,000 base salary
• Uncapped commission (£35,000–£45,000+ OTE)
• Lifetime commission on accounts you bring in
• Clear progression opportunities within a growing business
• 12-month comprehensive training program and ongoing support

We believe that diversity makes us stronger and more innovative. We warmly welcome applications from individuals of all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives.
