Moon Executive Search is delighted to be the retained search partner to Zippe Transport Ltd, as we bring their new Commercial Sales Director role to the market. Zippe Transport Limited is an established and rapidly growing provider of high-quality transport solutions, built on a foundation of safety, fairness, and community impact. Founded in 2017 and headquartered in Radstock, Somerset, they are a proudly purpose-led business that is proving ethical transport is not just the right thing to do – it is a winning commercial model.
At the core of everything Zippe does is the idea of giving back: to drivers, to communities, and to the people who depend on Zippe every day. This is a pivotal moment for Zippe. Zippe’s pipeline of services: Zippe Corporate, Zippe Rideshare, and further Local Authority contracts, represents a huge commercial opportunity, and they need a commercially driven, values-led leader who can seize it.
As Commercial Sales Director, you will work with the CEO to develop Zippe’s entire commercial strategy – building the function, driving revenue, and opening new markets across Local Authority and corporate channels. You will be the commercial engine of the business: building and leading a high-performing sales team, winning significant new contracts, and ensuring that Zippe’s ethical, community-focused brand becomes a powerful and tangible commercial advantage.
Reporting directly to the CEO, this is a role with genuine strategic influence, real autonomy, and the opportunity to leave a lasting mark on a business that is changing what transport can be. For this role, we are seeking a proven leader with senior-level experience in transport, logistics, freight, or a highly regulated sector, who can demonstrate an impressive track record of leading high-performing sales teams and delivering sustained revenue growth.
You should have a strong understanding of commercial contracts, pricing structures, and negotiation strategies, coupled with exceptional communication, relationship-building, and leadership skills. Our ideal candidate will demonstrate an entrepreneurial mindset and a strong sense of accountability. Your approach should be data-driven, potentially offering experience gained within a growth-focused SME environment. Experience of tendering for, and winning, Local Authority contracts would be advantageous.
If you are interested in applying for the position, please submit by email your CV or biography together with a short Expression of Interest (EoI), explaining your motivations in applying for the role and any relevant information supporting your application. Completed applications with CVs and EoI should quote reference MC2733.
