* Deliver sector-specific value propositions and support marketing efforts in communicating these effectively
* Contribute to sector mapping, research, opportunity identification, and development
* Support the overall pipeline sector development and provide leads to other sectors as appropriate
* Prepare detailed tender information for review, ensuring new business meets profitability targets
* Develop and manage new customer relationships through proactive prospecting and targeting
* Lead the preparation of tender responses and presentations
* Facilitate the smooth transition of new customers to Operations teams
About You
We’d love you to have the following skills and experience, but please apply if you think you’d be able to perform well in this
role!
* Proven track record in business development, preferably within the Transport sector
* Ability to build and maintain strong relationships with internal and external stakeholders
* Proactive approach to identifying and pursuing new business opportunities
* Excellent communication and presentation skills
* Ability to influence and negotiate at various levels
* Solid commercial and financial acumen
* Strong negotiation skills
* Present with impact using storytelling

opportunity - all selection decisions are based solely on technical and behavioural competencies. We do not discriminate on the

yourself and do your best work every day.
