Job description

Logistics/Transport Business Development Manager

Peterborough | Hybrid | Brand New Role

If you’ve got that rare blend of commercial firepower and people-first relationship skills — the kind that make clients stick around because you genuinely get them — then this role is going to feel like home.

We’re looking for someone who can win business without being a cliché “salesy” type… someone who listens, solves problems, and thinks long-term. You’ll nurture existing customers while building a pipeline that actually delivers results. No fluff, no shortcuts — just proper, grown-up commercial work.

The Role

You’ll be looked after, don’t worry:

  • Competitive salary + performance bonus (OTE around £60,000)

  • Company vehicle

  • Private medical

  • Pension

  • Hybrid working

What You’ll Be Doing

You’ll be the face, the voice, and the commercial backbone:

  • Building and managing your own sales pipeline

  • Securing profitable new opportunities

  • Managing and growing key client accounts

  • Leading meetings, reviews, and commercial proposals

  • Working closely with ops and finance to make sure everything runs like a well-oiled machine

What You’ll Need

Let’s be honest — this isn’t “learn on the job” territory. You’ll need:

  • Strong communication and natural relationship-building skills

  • Proven experience in logistics/transport

  • Confidence negotiating and presenting to senior people

  • Solid organisation and self-motivation

  • A full UK driving licence

If you’re commercially switched on, people-centric to your core, and hungry to make a genuine impact — this is a role where you won’t just be another name in the CRM. You’ll help shape the future direction. APPLY NOW!
