Newman Stewart is currently representing a well-established provider of technology-enabled logistics and supply chain solutions, supporting customers through complex operational environments. Recognised as a trusted partner to its clients, the organisation combines sector expertise, service excellence and innovation to deliver measurable improvements in visibility, control and performance across critical supply chain activities.
Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer and forming part of the executive leadership team, the Chief Commercial Officer will take ownership of the end-to-end commercial agenda, leading revenue growth across both new business acquisition and strategic customer development.
This is a highly influential role with responsibility for defining commercial strategy, strengthening go-to-market execution and building a scalable commercial operating model capable of supporting predictable, sustainable growth. Working closely with colleagues across the business, the successful individual will align sales, marketing and customer management activities, improve commercial rigour, and establish clear standards around pipeline management, forecasting and account development.
The role offers a rare opportunity to shape how the organisation sells, helping to transform a successful, relationship-led business into a more structured commercial operation without losing the culture and values that make it distinctive.
We are seeking an accomplished commercial leader with a proven track record of delivering growth, developing high-performing teams and building commercial capability within complex B2B environments.
Candidates must bring experience from the logistics, supply chain, transport, freight, fulfilment or wider supply chain services sector, with a strong understanding of the commercial and operational dynamics that underpin customer success in these environments.
You will have experience leading commercial strategy, pipeline management, forecasting, customer development and key account growth, together with the ability to introduce structure, accountability and consistency into a scaling organisation. Strong leadership capability, commercial acumen and credibility at executive level are essential.
Experience operating within founder-led, entrepreneurial or high-growth businesses would be advantageous, particularly where you have helped professionalise commercial functions whilst preserving a relationship-led culture.
This is a significant leadership opportunity for an individual looking to influence commercial strategy, strengthen organisational capability and play a visible role in the continued evolution of a growth-focused business.
