We’re seeking a highly motivated and results-oriented Business Development Manager to join our team and help drive our future growth. This is an exciting opportunity for someone who thrives on identifying new business opportunities, developing strategic partnerships, and using innovative solutions to meet evolving client needs.
In this role, you will focus on selling contract logistics solutions within the Auto-Mobility sector, supporting the Auto-Mobility industry across inbound to manufacturing, finished vehicle solutions, and aftermarket services. No two days are the same - you’ll enjoy a varied and dynamic sales role, working closely with customers and internal stakeholders to overcome challenges and sell innovative, value-driven solutions.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
* In this Business Development role, you’ll be part of a high-performing, collaborative sales team committed to helping customers thrive - while we actively support your own career growth and success.
* You will develop and leverage constructive relationships with target customers in the Auto-Mobility industry in order to sell contract logistics solutions. Gaining access to key decision-makers and establishing a powerful network to support growth will be key to success in this role.
* Continuously identify, review, and develop new business opportunities, keeping a strong and active pipeline.
* Taking a proactive approach, you’ll spot opportunities within target customers, respond to incoming bids and tenders (RFQs), and map out and engage key stakeholders to drive success.
* Through thorough research and customer engagement, you’ll uncover supply chain needs and align solutions with their wider business objectives.
* With your ability to forge strong relationships with new and existing customers, you’ll help us maintain our Customer for Life ethos, while building a pipeline of exciting new business opportunities.
* No day is the same when you join us, and you’ll probably find yourself wearing many hats. Working closely with other internal teams, you’ll constantly be learning how to solve new problems and find exciting solutions to the latest challenges.
WHAT YOU'LL BRING
* You must have proven, in-depth Enterprise sales experience and be results-oriented with the ability to win new business to deliver against sales targets and drive business growth.
* You will have proven experience of selling contract logistics solutions.
* Knowledge of the Auto-Mobility industry and Auto-Mobility supply chains will be highly beneficial in this role but is not a pre-requisite for applicants.
* Proven ability to secure new business opportunities, with experience of working within complex, large-scale organisations and a strong understanding of bid and tender sales processes and lifecycles.
* Strong negotiation and communication skills, with the ability to influence and persuade at all levels.
