Are you a commercially focused freight forwarding professional ready to build something of your own, without the overhead or risk of going it alone? This is your opportunity to launch and lead a brand-new branch in Ireland for an established international freight forwarding business.
With an existing freight footprint across Ireland and Europe, the company is now expanding its presence across Ireland. They're seeking a proven commercial operator with a strong background in road freight (ocean freight experience also welcomed) who can unlock new business, grow a local client base, and eventually build a high-performing team.

The Role:

- Shape and lead branch growth with autonomy, establishing a physical location and team
- Liaise with HQ to coordinate freight movements and deliver on customer commitments
- Operate with the backing of a financially stable company with significant volumes behind the scenes
You Will Need:
- A successful background in road or ocean freight forwarding
- Demonstrated ability to win and grow freight business from a blank canvas
- Based in the M62 corridor or Midlands with strong knowledge of the local commercial landscape
- Entrepreneurial drive with the discipline to operate independently
- Values that align with a company that prioritises quality over noise- stable, strategic, and growth-oriented
What You Will Receive:
- A competitive base salary in the €60,000 - €100,000 range, based on experience and forecast
- Car allowance and performance bonus, with scope for profit share
- Operational and freight support from HQ during initial ramp-up
