Vacancy - Head of Business Development (Containers)
Are you excited by the opportunity to be a driving force for change in UK logistics? Would you welcome the chance to play a role in game changing projects, including accelerating the decarbonisation of the industry? Do you thrive on having a high degree of autonomy and the opportunity to deliver significant success in business development? At Peel Ports Group we are seeking a Head of Business Development to take a lead on enhancing our current success in attracting international shipping lines to the Port of Liverpool.
Your Role
In this role you will be at the forefront of driving structured growth and exploring new opportunities for our Port to sustain and improve the long term profitability of our Container division. Working in collaboration with the wider commercial team, you will support the delivery of our commercial strategy across the Container terminal, seeking innovative approaches to drive further volumes to maximise return on our operational assets, through developing relationships with customers and building strong strategic partnerships.
This role offers a unique chance to shape the future of our business, using your expertise to identify and capitalise on market demands, responding positively to the challenges faced within the Global shipping market, wider industry and our economy.
