Transport & Logistics | MOVD Logistics Limited
Tauranga, Bay of Plenty | Full time | Permanent
Approximate pay: $25 - $35 per hour
MOVD is a fast-growing New Zealand transport and logistics company, and we’re looking for a highly motivated Business Development & Sales Superstar to help take our commercial growth to the next level.
This role is about creating business, building relationships and closing opportunities.
You’ll be responsible for identifying and developing relationships with larger commercial clients who have ongoing transport requirements, while also networking, generating smaller transport opportunities and closing individual jobs.
We’re looking for someone who is confident getting on the phone, walking into a business, attending networking opportunities, introducing MOVD and turning a conversation into a genuine commercial relationship.
A major focus will be finding businesses that regularly require transport and positioning MOVD as their preferred transport and logistics partner.
You’ll actively target opportunities across industries such as automotive, dealerships, fleet operators, rental companies, construction, machinery, insurance, auctions and other businesses requiring regular nationwide transport.
This isn’t simply responding to incoming leads. We want someone who will actively go looking for opportunities.
We want someone who is commercially driven, and we want to reward results.
The role will include a competitive base salary plus commissions and performance bonuses.
The bonus structure will reward both immediate sales and the long‑term value created for MOVD.
This can include bonuses for new commercial accounts, ongoing contracts, revenue generated, individual jobs closed and exceeding agreed sales targets.
Land a valuable ongoing commercial client and you should be rewarded for it. Bring in smaller profitable jobs through your network and close them; you should be rewarded for those too.
There is genuine earning potential for someone who can consistently generate profitable new business.
We’re looking for someone with genuine hunter mentality who enjoys creating opportunities rather than waiting for them.
You’ll need to be confident speaking with everyone from an individual customer through to dealership owners, fleet managers, procurement teams and senior decision‑makers.
Transport industry experience would be valuable, but strong business development, B2B sales, automotive, freight, logistics or account management experience would also be highly regarded.
Most importantly, we want someone who can demonstrate that they know how to find opportunities, open doors, build trust and close business.
You should be driven, organised, personable and comfortable being measured on results.
MOVD is growing quickly, and this role has the opportunity to grow with the business.
For the right person, this isn’t just another sales job. There is potential to build and eventually lead a significant commercial portfolio within MOVD.
You’ll have the freedom to develop relationships, find opportunities and build a network while having the support of our operations team behind you.
If you’re someone who sees businesses and immediately thinks \"How do I get in front of them and win their transport work?\" we want to hear from you.
