The role

This is a field‑based role focused on growing our SME customer base. As a Business Development Executive, you’ll be responsible for identifying, winning and onboarding new business opportunities, building a strong sales pipeline, and working closely with operational teams to ensure a smooth and successful customer journey.

Who We Are

CitySprint is a UK‑wide logistics business delivering same‑day and time‑critical services for customers who need pace, reliability and great judgement.

We’re part of DPD and the wider Geopost group — giving us the stability, scale and investment of a leading international delivery network — while CitySprint continues to operate with its own distinct focus and fast‑moving culture.

What You’ll Be Doing

Identifying and winning new SME customers through proactive prospecting

Building and managing a robust new‑business pipeline

Generating leads via outbound activity, networking and market research

Presenting tailored solutions, negotiating terms and closing deals

Managing opportunities through the full CitySprint sales cycle

Ensuring a smooth handover of new customers to operations and account management teams

Maintaining accurate records in Salesforce and tracking performance against KPIs

Working closely with operations and marketing to deliver the best customer outcomes

What We’re Looking For

Experience in a sales, business development or commercial role

Strong communication, negotiation and relationship‑building skills

A proactive, target‑driven mindset with the ability to work independently

Confidence presenting solutions and handling objections

Organised, resilient and comfortable managing a busy pipeline

Previous experience using a CRM system (preferably Salesforce)

Experience in logistics or a service‑led industry is helpful, but not essential
