Head of Sales

Logistics

South East

Permanent ⁄ £50000 - £65000

Updated January 25, 2012

Given the recent growth of the business, there really couldn't be a better time to seize an opportunity with this dynamic and flexible solutions provider in the South East. Carousel Logistics saw a 28% growth last year, reflecting the strength of their existing account base and ability of the people currently in the business. The Board is now extremely focussed on taking the next step in their development and with some ambitious targets to achieve in the next 2-3 years, this recruitment is a vital piece of the jigsaw.
The Head of Sales position will be a completely hands-on role, taking responsibility for one sales person initially and a fair but significant personal revenue target, with a view to establishing a reputation in the business for genuinely delivering results to the bottom line. Once embedded into the organisation, the opportunity exists to increase the size of the sales team while continuing to lead from the front with larger business wins.
As would be expected, the Head of Sales will need to balance external activity with internal management, combining operational expertise with development work to deliver great solutions for Clients. Focussing on business development, the Head of Sales will look to drive activity across the South East in the first instance with the potential to extend that reach in line with the company's expansion ambitions.

Who we're looking for
- Must demonstrate highly consultative approach to business development and be knowledgeable of the logistics sector (3PL & 4PL)
- Must have a rounded experience of managing people and being very hands-on as a business developer
- Must have access to the head office in Sittingbourne (under 1hr commute)
- Will ideally currently work for a logistics providerand have experience of both domestic & international multimodal transport and warehousing
- Will buy into a culture of tirelessly exceeding the expectations of Clients with the most demanding of briefs and demonstrate clear value-add

About our client
Originally established as a family concern, Carousel Logistics has grown over the years to become one of the leading providers of consultative logistics solutions, driven at its heart to understand the needs of its Clients and add real value across the supply chain. While the business today is still family owned, it is not "family run" and it certainly exudes professionalism - from the office & warehouse facilities to the approach and attitude of the Board and their colleagues.

What's on offer
Excellent basic salary + OTE (based on revenue & margin) + car provision + benefits + top level career progression
