The OpportunityOur client is one of the country's most high profile and highly regarded freight management and consultancy organisations. Privately owned, its board and leadership team pair deep market expertise with a genuine commitment to performance and to its people.

The RoleAs the Business Development Manager, you'll own your pipeline from first conversation to client ramp up — identifying opportunities, engaging decision-makers across operations, supply chain and the C-suite, and turning conversations into long-term partnerships.
