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.
You’ll be proactive, sales‑driven, and confident working independently — spotting opportunities, opening doors, and converting prospects into long‑term CitySprint customers.

You’ll see the direct impact of your work as you bring new customers on board and help them succeed using our services. You’ll also have the backing of a well‑established, trusted brand with nationwide reach.
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
If you’re motivated by winning new business, building relationships and seeing the results of your work, apply now to join CitySprint as a Business Development Executive.
