The role

You’ll qualify each opportunity, build a strong pipeline, and guide prospects through the sales process to convert them into active customers.
· Understand customer requirements by speaking with prospects about their transport operations and challenges, pinpointing where the service adds value, and gathering the details needed for accurate solutions and pricing. You’ll keep your CRM updated, follow up consistently, and work closely with Operations and Customer Development to ensure a smooth handover.
· It’s imperative you collaborate with the wider team by sharing customer feedback and market insight, helping improve lead quality and future campaigns, and contributing ideas to strengthen the sales process. Throughout the journey, you’ll build strong professional relationships, represent the client confidently, and maintain regular contact with prospects.

· You will be highly organised, able to manage multiple opportunities at once, and comfortable using CRM systems like HubSpot to keep your pipeline sharp. Your background in transport, logistics or supply chain helps you understand customer needs and speak their language.
· Most importantly, you bring a willingness to learn and grow. You’re motivated to develop your skills, expand your experience, and build a long-term career in a supportive, fast-moving sales environment.
A brilliant chance to jump into a fast-growing business where your impact is felt from day one. You’ll be right at the heart of winning new customers, building strong long-term relationships, and driving the company’s momentum forward.
