Business Development Manager

Business Development Manager — Final Mile Logistics (Tech-Enabled Platform)
Location: Remote / UK-wide with travel to Manchester when needed
Package: £50,000 – £55,000 base + 100% OTE (uncapped commission on revenue & margin)
Full-time, permanent
Hunt. Close. Repeat.
Our client is a fast-scaling, tech-enabled logistics business shaking up the final mile. Customers book jobs directly through a portal or API no clunky phone-and-email ping-pong, no bloated middle layer. The platform works. The ops team delivers. What they need now is someone to go out and win the market.
This is a hunter role, not a farming role. You'll own the full sales cycle end to end: prospect, discover, demo, negotiate, close, onboard. If you like the buzz of a signed account far more than the comfort of a slow corporate process, keep reading.
What you'll own
- New business, front and centre. Target ideal customers across SME and mid-market, and build a consistent outbound pipeline through cold outreach, referrals, networking and lead follow-up.
- Fixed routes and recurring volume. Run structured discovery on volume, service needs, booking frequency and margin potential — then sell a fixed-route solution that sticks.
- The full cycle. From first contact to contracted or committed recurring revenue, plus early account establishment.
- Reactivations. Dig into the dormant account database, diagnose why they stopped, and reposition the offer.
- Platform adoption. Push self-serve booking, portal usage and API integration; work with ops to kill the friction that causes manual intervention.
- Your numbers. Weekly reporting on new revenue, pipeline value, automation % and churn risk, with a clean HubSpot pipeline and a forecast people can actually trust.
What good looks like at six months
- 20–30 new active trading accounts won and onboarded (~£1m annualised revenue growth)
- 2–4 contracted Tier 1 accounts secured
- Real reactivation wins from the dormant database
- A full, clean CRM pipeline with a predictable weekly forecast
- New accounts self-serving and booking automatically as standard
- A reputation — internally and with customers — for being responsive, commercial and delivery-focused
What you'll bring
- 5+ years in B2B sales or business development final mile, logistics, marketplace or platform strongly preferred
- Proven track record of winning new business and hitting revenue targets
- Confidence selling fixed routes and operational or technology-enabled services
- Genuinely commercial: you understand margin, pricing and contribution, and you price to win and to profit
- Full-cycle ownership without hand-holding, and CRM discipline (HubSpot, Salesforce or similar)
- Objection handling with backbone you push deals forward instead of politely following up into silence
Nice to have: same-day, courier, freight or transport experience; selling self-serve or automated platforms; exposure to API and systems integration conversations.
This role is probably NOT for you if...
- You prefer slow-paced, heavily layered corporate environments
- You enjoy strategy more than execution
- Accountability and pace make you uncomfortable
