How would you like to join a renowned logistics brand?
2021 Was an exceptionally exciting time for City Sprint, a year in which we grew our services and offerings, and added to our existing portfolio through the acquisition of Transworld, a leading International and domestic carrier based in London and the South-East of the UK. Transworld allowed us to expand our services for our Customers, and complement our offerings by adding considerable knowledge and experience through our new Transworld colleagues.
Thanks to this, 2022 is set to be no less exciting! City Sprint will be launching Transworld branded services across the UK. This is a key period of growth for the City Sprint Group, and we need to ensure we are on top of our game by having inspirational leaders driving us down this path of success. As part of this, we are now looking for an experienced National Business Development Manager to drive this launch, and subsequent sales support programs across the UK.
This exciting opportunity will suit anyone wanting to take full ownership for a new product and service from the ground up. Entrepreneurial spirit with a healthy dose of Grit and determination is a must. Being naturally creative and driven, you will be responsible for the growth in this competitive, flexible and potentially lucrative business unit. You will be responsible for supporting our local and national sales teams with product design and knowledge, ensuring a progressive exchange of knowledge as these products expand and mature across the UK.
The successful candidate will be entrusted with running with this sales development project autonomously, and as such will have considerable ongoing contact with Local sales, Sales Management, Executive Management and the Board of Directors. Therefore, previous experience effectively communicating sales strategies and commercial information to this level of management is a must. You will be well versed in presenting to board level, and will be adept at identifying and presenting key data, utilizing data driven insights to make effective recommendations on strategy and informing better business decisions.
You'll be solutions focused with the ability to foresee potential challenges, and devise effective sales solutions quickly. You'll be driven to continually develop an excellent sales process, ensuring individuals' skills and development are prioritised and responsibilities are delegated efficiently. You'll also promote ongoing collaboration and encourage cross functional working relationships for the benefit of the business as a whole.
You'll be a key contact for multiple ongoing projects so the ability to prioritise and multi-task several projects at once is crucial to being successful in this role.
