This is a high-impact Business Development Manager role with a business that sits at the intersection of logistics and consulting. You'll be focused on identifying and securing new opportunities with mid-tier to enterprise clients that have complex supply chain challenges, leading with a strategic, solutions-first approach.

• Track and report on pipeline activity, feeding insights back into strategy

Skills & Attributes:

• Able to work autonomously while collaborating closely with a founder-led team
• Highly motivated and self-driven to achieve results
