Business Development Associate
About the role
Vectus sells to enterprise supply chain teams — procurement heads, VP Logistics, and COOs at companies moving significant freight volumes globally. These are not impulse buyers. They need to understand the problem deeply before they will give us thirty minutes.
Your job is to make those thirty minutes happen. You will research target accounts, understand their operations, find the right people to speak to, and run outreach that is specific enough to earn a response. This is not mass email blasting. It is precision work.
You will report directly to our Head of Sales and work closely with the founding team. If you do this well, you will convert to a full-time role and grow with us.
What you will do
Research and build target account lists — BCOs, importers, and manufacturers moving 250+ containers per year globally
Enrich leads with operational context — trade lanes, freight spend estimates, current tools, and likely pain points
Run personalised outreach via email and LinkedIn — no templates, no mass sends, every message specific to the account
Qualify inbound interest and book discovery meetings for the sales team
Track pipeline activity, maintain CRM hygiene, and report on outreach performance weekly
What we are looking for
A fresh graduate — or final year student — with a degree in supply chain management, international trade, logistics, or a related field
Genuine curiosity about how global supply chains work. You should be able to explain what a BCO is, why D&D charges happen, and what a TMS does
Strong written communication. Outreach that earns responses is specific, concise, and respectful of the reader's time. Show us you can write that way
Hunger over polish. We would rather someone who will figure things out than someone with a perfect CV who needs direction at every step
What success looks like in 90 days
You have built a qualified pipeline of target accounts. You are booking a consistent number of discovery meetings per week for the sales team. You understand our ideal customer profile well enough to spot a good fit from a LinkedIn profile. The founding team trusts your judgment on which accounts to prioritise.
