LEMAN UK is proud to be certified as a Great Place to Work 2025, and we’re looking for a Business Development Manager to join us and make the place even greater.
We’re hiring a Business Development Manager to grow our customer base across the UK and Europe. This role focuses on new business—initiating conversations and closing meaningful deals. Based in Normanton, England, you’ll have full ownership of your pipeline, working across Road, Air, and Ocean freight to offer flexible, tailored solutions for each client.

3. Owning your sales pipeline from initial contact to closing
