  • Prepare quotations, tenders, RFQs and commercial proposals in collaboration with pricing and operations teams.
  • Negotiate freight rates, service agreements and other commercial terms.
  • Develop opportunities across FCL, LCL, NVOCC and multimodal transportation services.
  • Maintain an active sales pipeline and provide accurate revenue forecasts.
  • Monitor ocean-freight markets, carrier capacity, rate movements and competitor activity.
  • Work closely with shipping lines, overseas offices, agents and internal stakeholders to ensure competitive solutions.
  • Coordinate the handover of new accounts to customer-service and operations teams.
  • Monitor account performance, service quality, profitability and customer satisfaction.
  • Identify cross-selling opportunities across air freight, warehousing, contract logistics and supply-chain solutions.
  • Maintain accurate customer and sales information within the CRM system.
  • Represent the organisation at customer meetings, industry events and networking activities.
  • Achieve agreed revenue, gross-profit and new-business targets.

Qualifications and Experience

  • Degree or diploma in Logistics, Supply Chain, Business, Maritime Studies or a related discipline.
  • 5 to 8 years of business-development or sales experience within ocean freight, freight forwarding or international logistics.
  • Proven track record of securing new business and managing strategic customer accounts.
  • Strong understanding of FCL, LCL, carrier pricing, trade lanes and freight-forwarding operations.
  • Established relationships with regional shippers, beneficial cargo owners or multinational customers would be advantageous.
  • Experience managing tenders, RFQs and complex logistics proposals.
  • Strong commercial judgement, negotiation and presentation skills.
  • Able to analyse pricing, margins and customer profitability.

Why it works

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
