The posting

A leading international freight forwarding company is seeking an experienced and well-connected Business Development Leader to build India- and China-origin freight business from the ground up. This is a hands-on, individual-contributor role. Ideal candidate must be comfortable with direct market development, prospecting, agent follow-ups, rate coordination, reporting and day-to-day commercial groundwork. This is not a senior people-management position, but a market-building role designed to create profitable business and support a future independent India presence. Priority Trade Lanes Core: India–China, China–India, India–Middle East, China–Middle East, China–US, India–US, India–Canada and China–Canada. Emerging: India–UK and India–Thailand. Key Responsibilities Build profitable export, import and cross-trade business across priority and emerging trade lanes. Identify and approach shippers, exporters, importers, overseas agents and referral partners. Promote India- and China-origin freight business to selected global regions and priority corridors. Close contract rates with carriers, co-loaders, agents and customers across air freight, ocean freight and related services. Manage buy rates, sell rates, FOB-origin charges, local charges and lane-wise margins to protect profitability. Use WCA, local market contacts and origin-based business leads to develop agent and shipper opportunities. Work with the existing local operating partner for operational execution while identifying additional local partners where needed. Convert shipper and agent relationships into recurring import, export and cross-trade traffic. Define and supervise the sales-to-operations workflow from enquiry, quotation and rate confirmation through booking, documentation, execution, invoicing and post-shipment follow-up. Ensure every confirmed booking is handed over through a clear process, with shipment details, rate approvals, documentation, escalation ownership and follow-up responsibilities defined. Resolve pricing, service, documentation, capacity and contractual escalations. Maintain daily, weekly and monthly reports covering pipeline, quotations, bookings, shipment status, revenue, gross profit, conversion, lane performance and service issues. Support the phased development of a scalable and increasingly independent India business model. Requirements 10–15 years of international freight-forwarding or cross-border logistics experience. Strong air freight, ocean freight, export/import and cross-trade knowledge. Proven exposure to India–China, China–India, Middle East, US and Canada lanes; India–UK and India–Thailand exposure is advantageous. Existing relationships with shippers, exporters, importers, overseas agents, carriers, co-loaders and forwarding networks. Strong ability to sell directly to shippers and overseas agents. Proven capability in contract-rate negotiation, buy/sell pricing, FOB-origin charges, local charges and lane-wise margin management. Strong understanding of India export documentation, origin operations and local market realities. Experience with WCA or comparable forwarding networks is strongly preferred. Comfortable working independently, starting from zero and handling hands-on business-development groundwork. Able to coordinate effectively with overseas leadership, local operating partners and internal operations teams. CRM experience, preferably Salesforce or equivalent, is preferred. KPIs / Performance Metrics New shipper, agent and referral accounts secured Revenue, shipment-volume and gross-profit growth across priority lanes Contract rates and profitable buy/sell margins secured Growth in recurring India- and China-origin import, export and cross-trade traffic Active overseas-agent partnerships and reciprocal business generated Quote-to-booking conversion and lane-wise win rate Quality of booking handover and commercial-to-operational workflow Daily, weekly and monthly reporting discipline Resolution of pricing, service, documentation and operational escalations Progress toward a scalable India business model

Why it works

3×

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.
