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
