Business Development / Field Sales Manager – 4PL
Manchester
£55,000 – £65,000 + Bonus + Benefits
 
About the Business
This isn’t your typical logistics or supply chain services business.
 
This is a rapidly scaling, tech-driven trade solutions partner that’s disrupting a sector badly in need of change. 
 
While others talk about visibility and integration, they’re delivering it with an in-house developed digital platform built and managed through a team of in-house engineers, and a connected, end-to-end trade management service that leaves old-school operators standing still.
 
Clients don’t just get shipments booked, they get a proactive, integrated, problem-solving partner.
 
The result? Faster, smarter, and fully transparent supply chain management on a global scale.
 
And the market’s responding. They’re in high-growth mode, and this is your chance to grab a pivotal role in shaping what comes next.
 
Why Join?
•    Disruptor brand: They are rewriting the rules of what a trade and supply chain partner should be.
•    In-house developed tech platform: No third-party bolt-ons. Purpose-built by their own engineering team and constantly evolving.
•    Full integration solutions: Not just freight, but total trade and supply chain management for clients who won’t settle for ‘standard’.
•    Rapid growth: This is a business going places, and you’ll have the opportunity to help shape that journey.
•    Agile, ambitious team: No red tape. No politics. Just good people doing brilliant work, fast.
 
The Role
We’re searching for a high-energy, commercially sharp Business Development Manager / Field Sales Manager to take this message to market.
 
You’ll be
•    Winning new business: Opening doors, creating opportunities, and building lasting partnerships with importers, exporters, and supply chain decision-makers.
•    Selling solutions, not transactions: This is about being a partner, a problem-solver, and a value-add resource for clients.
•    Spotting opportunities: Identifying gaps in the market and working with our in-house team to build tailored, tech-integrated trade solutions.
•    Owning your patch: We back our people. You’ll have the freedom to build your market with the support of a leadership team that trusts you to deliver.
•    Helping shape the future: This isn’t a ready-made role, it’s one you’ll have a hand in moulding as the business scales.
 
About You
•    Proven track record in field sales, business development, or solution-led selling — ideally within freight, logistics, supply chain, or SaaS-led services.
•    Commercially sharp, with a consultative, partnership-focused sales approach.
•    Confident engaging with senior decision-makers and operational leaders.
•    Tech-savvy, with a knack for spotting smarter ways of doing things.
•    Thrives in a fast-paced, scale-up environment where you can genuinely make a difference.
