Ready to build something bigger?
We are recruiting for an established international transport business looking to appoint a commercially ambitious   Sales Manager   to help drive its next stage of European growth.
This is a genuine   business development and market-growth role  .
You will be given the platform, operational backing and autonomy to open new doors, develop major customer relationships and create profitable transport solutions across the UK and Europe.
The opportunity will suit someone who already understands   international transport, liquid bulk, chemical logistics, tanker operations or intermodal transport   and wants a role where they can have real commercial influence rather than simply manage an inherited account base.
Your Commercial Opportunity
You will take ownership of developing new revenue streams and strengthening the company's presence across European markets.
You will:
Identify and win profitable new customers across the UK and Europe
Build a high-value pipeline of commercial opportunities
Develop relationships with major manufacturers, distributors and industrial customers
Grow strategic accounts and identify further revenue opportunities within existing customers
Open new sectors, territories and commercial markets
Lead significant tenders, proposals and commercial negotiations
Negotiate pricing, contracts and long-term customer agreements
Develop bespoke transport solutions around complex customer requirements
Work across road, intermodal and wider multimodal networks
Identify opportunities for modal shift and more efficient, sustainable transport solutions
Develop strategic relationships with European carriers, terminals and transport partners
Work closely with Operations, Fleet, Finance and Customer Service to turn commercial opportunities into deliverable solutions
Monitor margins, transport costs, competitor activity and wider market trends
Provide accurate pipeline, forecast and commercial performance reporting to senior management
Represent the business at customer meetings and industry events across Europe
Who Are We Looking For?
This role needs someone who knows how to   create opportunity, build credibility and close business  .
You will ideally have:
A strong track record in transport or logistics sales/business development
Experience winning significant new B2B business
Strong knowledge of UK and European transport markets

Experience with in   liquid bulk, chemical logistics, specialist transport or tanker operations
Knowledge of   intermodal or multimodal transport
Existing relationships within chemical, industrial, manufacturing or specialist logistics markets
Experience developing and managing major customer accounts
Strong commercial awareness around rates, margins and profitability
Experience leading tenders and negotiating commercial contracts
The ability to engage confidently with procurement, logistics and senior leadership teams
An entrepreneurial approach to finding and creating new opportunities
The flexibility to travel across Europe as required

Experience with   ADR, dangerous goods, ISO tanks, tank containers, rail or terminal networks   would be highly advantageous.
Why This Role Stands Out
This is not a role where you will simply be handed a list of customers and asked to maintain them.
You will join an established transport operation with ambitions to grow, giving you the opportunity to have genuine influence over
where the business goes next  .
You will have scope to:
Build new European markets
Win high-value strategic customers
Develop new commercial partnerships
Create new transport solutions
Influence sales strategy and market positioning
Work closely with senior leadership
See the direct commercial impact of the business you win
For someone who enjoys opening doors and building long-term profitable business, there is significant opportunity to make this role their own.
