Job Description
Business Development Manager | Freight Forwarding | Remote | Uncapped Commission | New Business Focus
Are you a genuine freight forwarding hunter who thrives on winning new business?
Do you enjoy opening doors, building pipelines and securing profitable freight opportunities, rather than spending the majority of your time managing existing accounts?
If so, I'd like to speak with you.
I'm supporting an independent freight forwarding business with an excellent reputation, strong operational backing and the flexibility to make commercial decisions quickly. Due to continued growth, they are looking to appoint an experienced Business Development Manager to focus exclusively on developing and winning new business opportunities.
This is a true sales role. Once new business has been secured, a dedicated team will manage the day to day operational and customer requirements, allowing you to focus on what you do best: generating revenue and growing the customer base.
The Opportunity
✅ Remote role with flexibility and autonomy
✅ Strong operational and commercial support
✅ Fast decision making compared to larger corporates
✅ Genuine opportunity to influence growth
✅ Uncapped earning potential
✅ Dedicated customer service and operations support once business is won
What We're Looking For
We're interested in speaking with experienced freight forwarding sales professionals who can demonstrate a proven track record of winning profitable new business.
You'll ideally have experience generating opportunities across:
* Deep Sea Container Freight
* Ocean Freight Imports & Exports
* Import Freight Solutions
* Project Freight
* Other complementary freight and logistics services
Key Requirements
* Proven success in winning new freight forwarding business
* Strong commercial awareness and freight forwarding knowledge
* Ability to generate your own leads and sales pipeline
* Solution led sales approach rather than competing purely on price
* Excellent relationship building and negotiation skills
* Self motivated and capable of working independently
* Existing industry relationships would be advantageous
Particularly Interested In
Candidates with experience developing business across:
* Deep Sea container volumes
* Import focused customers
* Project cargo and specialist freight solutions
* Manufacturing, industrial, retail and import/export sectors
Experience across Africa and Middle East trade lanes would be advantageous but is not essential.
Package
* Negotiable basic salary (DOE)
* Generous commission structure
* Car allowance
* Pension
* Holiday entitlement
* Additional benefits
If you're a freight forwarding sales professional with a genuine record of winning profitable new business and would like the freedom to focus on selling while a dedicated operational team manages the accounts once secured, I'd be delighted to arrange a confidential conversation.
