Sales Manager
Do you have the drive to uncover new opportunities and turn them into long-term commercial success? Would you like to play a pivotal role in shaping the future of a major UK logistics network? Are you ready to lead growth across diverse cargo sectors while building powerful customer relationships?
We are seeking a Sales Manager to join our team at Peel Ports Logistics at our Humber Bulk Terminal and help us keep the world moving!
Your Role
As Sales Manager, you’ll drive commercial growth for the Humber Bulk Terminal while championing opportunities across our wider Northern network. You’ll work across diverse sectors, from bulk and agriculture to steel, aggregates, and project cargo, turning market insight into meaningful commercial wins.
As part of a collaborative commercial team, you’ll help shape innovative solutions that strengthen our position in the logistics market.
You’ll build strategic customer relationships, negotiate high-value agreements, and ensure service delivery consistently meets expectations. With the freedom to shape your own pipeline, and champion a diverse portfolio of services, you’ll make a real and visible impact from day one.
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.
This is your chance to step into a role where ambition is rewarded, ideas are valued, and your contribution directly drives the success of the Peel Ports Logistics network.
What You'll Bring
To thrive in this position, you’ll need significant frontline B2B sales and business development experience, with a proven ability to spot opportunities and convert them into commercial success. You’ll be confident engaging with customers at mid-to-senior level, skilled in negotiation, and commercially astute.
Experience within ports, logistics, shipping, or wider industrial sectors is essential, along with strong communication, presentation, and stakeholder-management capability. Effective CRM use and pipeline management will be second nature to you.
You’ll also bring the ability to work collaboratively across multiple functions, balancing competing priorities with strong organizational discipline. A self-motivated and driven mindset is essential, as is the confidence to operate independently. A full valid driving license is essential for this role.
