• Proven experience winning and developing high–value B2B/SME business (£150k+ accounts)
• Strong negotiation and closing skills within logistics or service–led environments
• Strategic thinker with the ability to develop long–term growth plans
• Excellent relationship–building and stakeholder management skills
• Commercially astute with strong understanding of financial and margin impact
• Confident presenter, able to engage senior leaders and boards
• Ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast–paced environment
