Are you an experienced freight forwarding professional with a strong customer network or the ambition to build one?
Join a forward-thinking logistics provider where you keep your customers and the commission - for the lifetime of the account.
This is a rare opportunity for a commercially driven Freight Account Manager / Business Development Manager / Freight Sales Executive to grow a profitable portfolio across Air, Sea, and Road freight.
Why This Role Stands Out
Lifetime commission on your accounts (no internal account grabs)
One of the strongest commission structures in freight forwarding
Work remotely - must be able to travel to Hull twice a month
Work autonomously and independently - building a business within a business
Work with like-minded people in a successful and well-established business The Role
