Commercial Support Executive - Freight Forwarding

My client, a leading logistics provider. is looking to develop its Business Development Team with the introduction of a new Sales Enhancement role.

We are looking for an energetic and motivated individual that wants to develop their sales career and take charge of a new function within the existing BD team.

The role will be a hybrid of sales support, product development and inside sales and will require someone willing to take ownership of the position and drive it forward, working closely with the BD team to help develop and improve our services capabilities and success.

You will be based in the Midlands office, alongside a great team of freight professionals.

Supporting the Business Development Executives will be your priority, and the right candidate will have the opportunity to develop their role within a company that looks to drive career progression.

This is a great opportunity for someone with an operations background looking to take on a more commercial role, or from a more traditional sales support role looking to expand their skill set or put their full ability to the test.

We are offering a competitive salary + benefits (Midlands based), negotiable for the right individual and experience.
