Logistics Graduate Programme: Business Development & Client Account Management

A fast-growing international logistics powerhouse is looking for high-potential Graduates to join their Cape Town hub. We don’t care about your years of experience; we care about your commercial spark, resilience, and ambition. This is a high-octane entry point into global trade. In 30 months, they will mentor you from a foundational operator into a Senior Commercial Leader. Whether you gravitate towards the "Hunt" (New Business) or the "Harvest" (Account Management), they provide the platform; you provide the drive.

• Months 1–6 (The Foundation): R31,000 pm. Master the operational pulse of Air, Sea, or Road freight.
• Months 6–18 (The Transition): R36,000 pm + Bonus. Move into a permanent BDM or CAM role based on your strengths and business requirements.
• Months 18–30 (The Specialist): R40,000 pm + Bonus. Own your portfolio and drive strategy.
• Months 30+ (The Leader): R45,000 pm + Bonus. Senior BDM / CAM status with leadership opportunities.

We are looking for Potential. To succeed, you must demonstrate:

The "Bounce Back" (Resilience): A "hunter" mindset that views "no" as a detour, not a dead end.
The "Clarity" (Communication): The ability to engage, persuade, and build trust with anyone, from a warehouse manager to a CEO.
The "Curiosity" (Commercial Intel): A Bachelor’s Degree (Commerce, Business, Logistics, or Finance) and a natural comfort with numbers and problem-solving.

Note: You must be proactive, independent, and ready to thrive in a target-driven, fast-paced environment.
