Market Analysis: Monitor freight rates, capacity trends, competitor activity and customer demand across relevant markets.
Cross Functional Coordination: Work closely with operations, finance, customs and customer service teams to support successful account delivery.
Risk Management: Identify credit, contractual, capacity and service risks and recommend appropriate commercial controls.
Performance Reporting: Prepare reports covering sales activity, account profitability, tender performance and commercial priorities.
Team Support: Guide commercial employees and account managers while promoting consistent pricing and customer management practices.

What We Are Looking For

Experience: At least 6 years of experience in freight forwarding, logistics, commercial management or transport sales, including responsibility for major customer accounts.
Education: Bachelor degree or recognised professional qualification in Logistics, Supply Chain Management, International Business or a related discipline.
Freight Knowledge: Strong understanding of sea freight, air freight, road transport, rail freight, customs processes and multimodal logistics.
Commercial Skills: Experience preparing freight quotations, pricing models, tenders and customer proposals.
Negotiation: Proven ability to negotiate customer contracts, carrier rates and service agreements.
Customer Development: Experience winning new business, growing key accounts and maintaining long term customer relationships.
Financial Awareness: Ability to analyse revenue, costs, margins and account profitability.
Market Awareness: Understanding of freight pricing, capacity conditions and international transport trends.
Leadership: Ability to guide commercial teams, coordinate priorities and maintain accountability for results.
Communication: Strong written, verbal and presentation skills with the ability to explain commercial and operational information clearly.
Technology Skills: Proficiency in Microsoft Office, customer relationship management platforms, freight management systems and commercial reporting tools.
Organisation: Ability to manage multiple tenders, accounts, deadlines and commercial priorities in a fast paced environment.
Professional Qualification: Membership of the Chartered Institute of Logistics and Transport or another recognised professional body is an advantage.
