In addition, the role actively sells the full AJEX portfolio (Fulfillment, Airfreight, Life Science and Project logistics) to every customer to maximise share of wallet.

This position is accountable for a defined monthly Network/FTL revenue target as the core of the role, additional revenue from cross selling other AJEX business units on top, a healthy and fully documented CRM pipeline and the fast ramp up of new contracts.

Responsibilities:

• Achieve and exceed the monthly Network/FTL revenue target (focus product) and the agreed gross margin. Network/FTL remains the primary focus of the role at all times.

• Generate additional revenue on top of the Network/FTL target by cross selling the full AJEX portfolio (Fulfillment, Airfreight, Life Science and Project logistics) into every new and existing customer, in close cooperation with the responsible business unit specialists.

• Identify, qualify and win new customers in the Network/FTL segment, with focus on e-commerce, retail, FMCG, industrial, construction and distribution customers.

• Design Network and FTL/PTL solutions with Operations, including volume profiles, lanes, pickup and delivery SLAs and capacity planning.

• Conduct a minimum of 5 joint customer visits per month together with Operations to secure solution quality, onboarding and retention.

• Apply the AJEX escalation rule: if there is no answer within 24 hours, escalate to the next position.
