About Us
AAI Freight Solutions is a European road freight division of the wider AAI Group, a well-established logistics business specialising in global airfreight and Far East deep-sea shipping.
I started AAI Freight Solutions in 2026 with one simple goal, to bring the personal side of freight forwarding back.
Customers shouldn't have to chase for updates, struggle to speak to the same person twice or feel like just another number. We pride ourselves on honest communication, quick responses and building genuine long-term relationships.
We're still a young business, which means this isn't a role where you'll be joining a huge corporate machine. You'll be working directly with me and have the opportunity to genuinely influence how the business grows.
The Role
I'm looking for an experienced Road Freight Sales Executive to help grow AAI Freight Solutions.
I've spent over 10 years on the operational side of freight forwarding, so I'm looking for someone whose strength is sales. Someone who enjoys opening doors, building relationships and bringing new customers into the business.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
You'll be responsible for developing your own customer base across UK and global freight markets whether it's in road, air or sea, while I continue to manage the operational side of the business.
This is a field based role with a great deal of flexibility. I don't believe in micromanagement. As long as the business is coming in and your customers are well looked after, you'll have the freedom to manage your own diary and work in the way that suits you best.
Your Responsibilities
- Winning new business across global freight markets.
- Building long-term relationships with customers.
- Cold calling and identifying new opportunities.
- Visiting customers and attending meetings.
- Networking through LinkedIn and industry events.
- Preparing and following up quotations.
- Managing your own sales pipeline and CRM.
- Working closely with operations to ensure customers receive an excellent service.

What I'm Looking For
I'm looking for someone who can hit the ground running.
Ideally you'll have:
- Experience selling UK and European road freight and/or global air and sea freight.
- A good understanding of full loads, part loads and groupage.
- An established network of industry contacts and a strong pipeline of opportunities.
- A proven track record of winning new business.
- Confidence speaking with decision-makers.
- The ability to work independently.
- A full UK driving licence.
A Final Word
If you're looking for another corporate freight sales role, this probably isn't it.
If you're looking for the opportunity to help build something, have the freedom to do your job properly and be rewarded for the business you bring in, I'd love to hear from you.
