Bangor

Are you commercially minded, creative and confident using social media to build an audience, generate opportunities and grow a business? An established logistics business providing services across Road, Sea and Air Freight alongside Customs solutions are looking to appoint a Sales & Marketing Executive to play a key role in its next stage of growth. This isn't a traditional marketing role focused purely on creating content. The objective is straightforward: help get the business in front of more potential customers, create more conversations and ultimately generate more commercial opportunities.

You will help build the company's commercial pipeline through a combination of outbound prospecting, cold calling, inbound lead generation, social media and digital marketing.

The Role:

Working closely with the Business Development Manager and wider senior management team, you will be responsible for supporting and generating commercial growth across a number of channels. Your responsibilities will include:

• Proactively identifying and researching prospective customers and target accounts.
• Cold calling prospective customers to introduce the business, understand potential requirements and generate new opportunities.
• Building relationships with decision-makers through telephone, email, LinkedIn and other digital channels.
• Working alongside the dedicated Business Development Manager to develop target accounts and progress commercial opportunities.
• Using LinkedIn, social media, email and digital campaigns to generate inbound leads and enquiries.
• Managing and growing the company's presence across key social media channels, particularly LinkedIn and Facebook.
• Creating engaging content including posts, graphics, videos, customer stories, company updates and promotional campaigns.
• Developing a consistent content calendar focused on increasing reach, engagement and commercially relevant enquiries.
• Creating campaigns around specific services, sectors or target customer groups.
• Re-engaging previous or inactive customers and identifying opportunities to rebuild commercial relationships.
• Supporting the Business Development Manager with presentations, proposals, campaigns and wider commercial activity.

The Person: We're looking for someone with the attitude and personality to create opportunities rather than wait for them to arrive. Someone who is:

• Confident and comfortable speaking to prospective customers over the phone.
• Willing to make cold calls and proactively generate new business opportunities.
• Resilient and not easily discouraged by rejection.
• Proactive with inbound enquiries and comfortable taking ownership of follow-up.
• Naturally curious and capable of asking good questions to understand a customer's requirements.
• Commercially minded and interested in what ultimately generates revenue.
• Comfortable working towards measurable commercial targets.
• Creative and interested in developing new ways to generate inbound leads.
• Strong written communicators capable of creating engaging content.
• Organised and disciplined when it comes to prospect management and follow-up.

What You Will Receive:

• Competitive salary of £35,000 - £38,000
• Enhanced company benefits including pension, annual leave and healthcare
• Monday to Friday working
• The opportunity to work directly alongside an experienced Business Development Manager
• Exposure to the wider senior management team
• Training and support to develop your commercial skills
