Opportunity
Head of Business Development
At
Maersk
, we believe in a world where trade builds bridges, accelerates development, and creates opportunity. Our mission is to simplify and connect global supply chains — not just through shipping, but by providing fully
integrated logistics solutions
that help our customers thrive in a fast-changing world.
As a
Head of Business Development
, you are a catalyst in this mission. Your work goes beyond selling — you will
identify and win new-logo business
, partner strategically with prospects, and build trusted relationships that lead to enduring value and transformational growth.
What You'll Do
As a key member of the
Oceania Business Development team
, your focus will be to
generate and close new business
in the
Logistics and Services
portfolio. You will identify ideal target customers using data, insight, and intuition — and you'll position Maersk as the logistics partner that delivers clarity, reliability, and innovation.
Key Responsibilities:
- Win New-Logo Business: You are laser-focused on acquiring new customers. You identify, engage, and convert high-potential prospects into long-term Maersk clients.
- Prioritize with Insight: Use multiple data sources — market intelligence, CRM analytics, supply chain databases, and internal benchmarks — to segment and prioritize target accounts with the highest potential value and strategic fit.
- Lead with Empathy and Purpose: Build relationships through genuine understanding, active listening, and customer-first engagement. You earn trust and influence by putting the customer's goals at the center.
- Sell Solutions, Not Products: Understand each prospect's supply chain challenges and design integrated logistics solutions across warehousing, customs, air, inland, and digital services.
- Collaborate to Win: Work closely with solution engineering, operations, product, pricing, and legal to craft compelling proposals that balance commercial goals with operational feasibility.
- Own the Sales Cycle: Use structured sales methodologies (Maersk Value Selling, Challenger, Miller Heiman, SPIN, etc.) to manage the full sales lifecycle from first contact to contract signature.
- Build a Better Pipeline: Keep a strong and healthy pipeline in SFDC - , driven by both proactive outreach and strategic account targeting.
- Execute with Discipline: Use Covey's principle of "beginning with the end in mind" — set clear objectives, measure results, and constantly improve your approach.
What Makes You a Great Fit
Experience & Capabilities:
- Proven track record (7+ years) in new business acquisition, ideally in B2B logistics, supply chain, or freight forwarding environments.
- Demonstrated ability to win "new logo" customers through data-driven targeting, strategic outreach, and consultative selling.
- Deep understanding of Oceania logistics and integrated supply chain solutions (warehousing, air, inland, customs, etc.).
- Strong analytical and commercial mindset — able to interpret data, spot opportunity, and translate insight into action.
- Exceptional interpersonal and communication skills — you build trust, adapt quickly, and lead conversations with confidence and authenticity.
- Entrepreneurial energy and accountability — you take ownership, act decisively, and deliver results without waiting to be told.
- Expert in applied technology for prospecting and target identification.
What You'll Gain
- A mission-driven role where your work enables global trade, economic progress, and sustainability.
- A high-impact sales role in one of the world's most respected logistics organizations.
- Competitive base salary with performance-driven incentives and leadership visibility.
- Growth opportunities, global exposure, and access to world-class tools, training, and development programs.
- A strong, collaborative culture built on humbleness, courage, and a passion for customers.
