Business Development Manager

4 weeks ago


Bradford, Bradford, United Kingdom Barker Ross Full time


A fantastic opportunity has arisen for a dynamic, experienced and results oriented Business Development Manager, who is a true professional within the transport industry, with particular expertise in freight forwarding.

You will demonstrate a proven track record of success in securing new business and fully maximising opportunities within the existing customer base.

The company, a well-established, successful international freight forwarding organisation operates across multiple sectors and to further build on their success, the appointment of a skilled Business Development Manager is key to their strategic growth.

Whilst the main office is in Bradford, this is a national business development role, so your home location can be flexible.


Reporting directly to the COO, your duties will include identifying, assessing and reporting opportunities for growth via new customers, routes and services, working collaboratively with new and existing clients to fully devise and sell forwarding solutions.

You will fully support the implementation of new business into operations, so it is essential that you have freight forwarding and transport experience and can coordinate container movements from port to final destination.

This is very much a cradle to grave position, and your input into how systems and procedures can be adapted to maximise success will be vital.


In addition to conducting market research and gaining market intelligence, you will analyse and interpret customer data to prepare tender and proposal documents.

You will manage enquiries and leads through to successful contract agreement, overseeing the transition into operational implementation.


Whilst an understanding of customs procedures is preferred (along with knowledge of Cargowise), what is essential will be your personal drive to deliver excellence, develop long term relationships, self-motivation to deliver results and to gain personal satisfaction and financial rewards from your efforts.


This is an exceptional opportunity for a dynamic individual, to really make a positive mark within the business - send your CV for immediate consideration.
