Winsearch Recruitment is working with an established logistics business to recruit a Key Account Coordinator to take ownership of the day-to-day running of a customer account.
This is a varied position combining customer service, transport coordination and commercial administration.
You’ll be the person connecting customer requirements with the teams delivering them, keeping everything organised, resolving issues and ensuring the account runs efficiently and profitably.
The Role – Key Responsibilities
- Customer account ownership: Act as a main point of contact, building trusted relationships and managing daily requirements.
- Transport arrangements: Coordinate UK and international deliveries, ensuring requirements and timings are communicated clearly.
- Freight and import support: Work alongside operational colleagues to keep shipments, orders and customer instructions on track.
- Order fulfilment: Liaise with internal teams to coordinate customer orders and support accurate, timely dispatch.
- Stock coordination: Keep track of stock information and resolve discrepancies affecting customer orders.
- Commercial control: Monitor account costs, raise or check invoices, track revenue and keep an eye on account profitability.
- Customer problem-solving: Respond to queries, deal with changes and follow issues through to resolution.
- Working relationships: Manage your own priorities while working closely with colleagues across the operation.
About You
You’ll be organised, confident dealing with customers and comfortable balancing operational detail with commercial responsibility.
Experience in freight, logistics, transport coordination or customer account administration would be particularly relevant.
We’re looking for someone who can demonstrate:
- Customer focus: Strong communication skills and the confidence to manage customer expectations.
- Organisation: The ability to prioritise competing requirements and maintain accurate records.
- Commercial awareness: Confidence with costs, invoicing and basic account performance.
- Independence and teamwork: The ability to take ownership while working effectively with the wider operation.
Knowledge of customs clearance and import/export procedures would be an advantage, but is not essential.
Why Consider This Opportunity?
