Business Development Manager
New Yesterday
Lineage is the world's largest and most innovative provider of temperature-controlled logistics solutions, employing over 25,000 colleagues globally. We support the supply chains of many of the UK's leading retailers - keeping fridge freezers stocked and essential goods moving.
With 14 sites across the UK, our business has enjoyed long-standing inventory stability. However, we're continuing to grow. A recent example is our Peterborough site, where we've expanded storage capacity from 25,500 to 70,000 pallet spaces and introduced cutting-edge automation to deliver greater customer value and reduce waste.
The Role
To support top line sales growth; we are now looking for a Business Development Manager focus on new business development.
You'll be welcomed into a collaborative and supportive environment, where you'll be introduced to key colleagues and spend time at our sites to gain a deep understanding of how we operate and deliver value to customers.
Once onboarded, your focus will be on building meaningful connections with potential customers - such as Supply Chain Directors - to understand their needs and offer tailored storage and transport solutions. You'll play a critical role in shaping long-term partnerships and ensuring we deliver on our promises.
We can be flexible on your location providing you are able to easily travel through-out the UK to Lineage and customer locations.
What You'll Be Doing
Proactively contacting and meeting potential customers
Managing inbound sales enquiries
Responding to formal tenders
Creating tailored proposals based on customer requirements
Maintaining accurate records in our sales database (CRM)
Most customers are happy to meet via video or phone, but face-to-face interactions still play an important part in building trusted relationships.
Who We're Looking For
This is a relationship-driven industry, so we're looking for someone naturally inquisitive, proactive, and energised by connecting with people. You don't need to be a logistics expert - we can teach you about our business. But if you enjoy asking smart questions and helping customers solve challenges, you'll thrive here.
To succeed in this role, you'll ideally have:
B2B sales experience with a strong relationship focus
Experience working to targets in a structured, professional environment
Proven ability to generate leads and manage a sales pipeline
An understanding of logistics, warehousing, or supply chain (preferred)
Why Join Lineage?
In addition to a competitive salary, company car, and benefits package, you'll be part of a team that supports one another and celebrates shared success. Our sales team collaborates - we don't compete internally - and we're committed to helping you grow by learning from experienced professionals.
We're also a rapidly expanding global company with exciting opportunities across Europe. You'll benefit from clear career paths, international exposure, and the chance to shape the future of our sales capability.
We're proud to be an equal opportunity employer. At Lineage, we value diversity and welcome people of all backgrounds. Everyone gets fair treatment and equal opportunities-whoever you are, you're welcome here.
