The Role:
Job Title: Freight Account Manager
Location: East Midlands / Hybrid (flexibility offered)
Contract Type: Full-time, Permanent
Salary: £25,000–£40,000 (depending on experience)
Commission: Monthly, uncapped commission structure with £100K annual earnings for top performers (for example, £10k GP/month = £1,750 commission, £15k GP/month = £3,000 commission & £20k GP/month = £4,000+ commission)
