We are working with a well-established UK logistics and port operations business that is expanding its project cargo capabilities. They are looking for a commercially focused individual who can combine customer development with operational understanding to drive growth and deliver complex cargo solutions.
This is a key role within the business, offering the opportunity to shape processes, develop client relationships, and provide pricing and quotations to help build the operation.

We are looking for someone who combines commercial ability with operational knowledge - someone who understands the realities of delivering complex cargo projects and can confidently manage customer relationships, pricing, and operational requirements. This is a hands on roll or who has a 'personable' apprach and ability to build long standing relationships.
Essential Experience:

  • Strong commercial experience including customer management, pricing, negotiation, and business development.
  • Understanding of international cargo handling operations, lifting activities, and lashing requirements.
