Senior Sales Manager – Time-Critical Logistics – Germany (Hamburg or Frankfurt)

Senior Sales Manager - Time-Critical Logistics - Germany (Hamburg or Frankfurt)

Our client is a multi-award-winning, specialist logistics provider with 40 years' experience in time-critical, high-value supply chains, named Best-in-Class Global Logistics Company by a leading industry institute. Employing around 180 people across 10 hubs worldwide, the business has recently secured private equity backing to fund an active growth and M&A strategy - and this role sits directly within that expansion.

They already operate established hubs in Hamburg and Frankfurt but have not yet had a dedicated salesperson driving new business in the region. This is a newly created position covering the German, Benelux, and Scandinavian markets, reporting into the Regional Manager and working closely with the Global Sales Director.

The role:

You will be responsible for proactively identifying and winning new business across time-critical logistics, building relationships with airlines, MROs, OEMs, and parts stockists (or equivalent high-value, service-critical accounts). You'll be supported by an experienced and effective operations team, an external lead generation function, and a modern CRM/sales tech stack designed to keep your time focused on selling rather than admin.

What we're looking for:

• Minimum 4 years' experience in a sales role, ideally new business/BD focused
• Strong background in time-critical logistics; aviation or aerospace experience highly desirable
• Fluent German, or extensive experience living, working, and selling into the German market
• A proactive, relationship-led approach to opening new accounts across DACH, Benelux, and the Nordics
• Comfortable working autonomously as the first dedicated salesperson in the region

What's on offer:

• Uncapped commission, with the structure actively being enhanced to be even more rewarding
• Backing of an established operations team and external lead generation support
• Genuine scope for growth as the business scales through active M&A and expansion plans
