Cape Town, South Africa Posted on 14/04/2026

A fast-growing international logistics powerhouse is looking for the next generation of Commercial Heavyweights to join their Cape Town operations.

This is a 30-month accelerated pathway designed to transform high-potential graduates into Senior Commercial Leaders. Whether you are a natural "Hunter" (New Business) or a strategic "Harvester" (Account Management), they will provide the global platform; you provide the velocity.

Phase 1: Commercial Sourcing (The Hunter)

• Identify: Target and qualify high-value leads within our global product portfolio.
• Engage: Secure face-to-face and virtual pitch meetings with C-suite decision-makers.
• Build: Manage a high-velocity sales pipeline, using commercial intel to quote and win.

Phase 2: Client Excellence (The Relationship Builder)

• Advise: Act as the strategic commercial lead for a dedicated client portfolio.
• Review: Lead monthly business reviews to ensure 100% service excellence.
• Expand: Proactively identify "upsell" opportunities to deepen account revenue.

Phase 3: Operational Mastery (The Foundation)

• Analyze: Use KPIs to sharpen your commercial strategy and keep clients ahead of the curve.

THE 30-MONTH GROWTH PATHWAY
