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!
