An established logistics business providing services across Road, Sea and Air Freight alongside Customs solutions are looking to appoint a Sales & Marketing Executive to play a key role in its next stage of growth.

This isn't a traditional marketing role focused purely on creating content. The objective is straightforward: help get the business in front of more potential customers, create more conversations and ultimately generate more commercial opportunities. You will help build the company's commercial pipeline through a combination of outbound prospecting, cold calling, inbound lead generation, social media and digital marketing.

The Role:
Working closely with the Business Development Manager and wider senior management team, you will be responsible for supporting and generating commercial growth across a number of channels.

Proactively identifying and researching prospective customers and target accounts.

Cold calling prospective customers to introduce the business, understand potential requirements and generate new opportunities.

Building relationships with decision-makers through telephone, email, LinkedIn and other digital channels.

Managing and growing the company's presence across key social media channels, particularly LinkedIn and Facebook.

Creating engaging content including posts, graphics, videos, customer stories, company updates and promotional campaigns.

Developing a consistent content calendar focused on increasing reach, engagement and commercially relevant enquiries.

Creating campaigns around specific services, sectors or target customer groups.

Re-engaging previous or inactive customers and identifying opportunities to rebuild commercial relationships.

Supporting the Business Development Manager with presentations, proposals, campaigns and wider commercial activity.

The Person:
We're looking for someone with the attitude and personality to create opportunities rather than wait for them to arrive.

Someone who is:

Confident and comfortable speaking to prospective customers over the phone.

Willing to make cold calls and proactively generate new business opportunities.

Resilient and not easily discouraged by rejection.

Proactive with inbound enquiries and comfortable taking ownership of follow-up.

Naturally curious and capable of asking good questions to understand a customer's requirements.

Commercially minded and interested in what ultimately generates revenue.
