Team Leader – Freight Forwarding
Build a site instead of just running one?
Aschaffenburg is our location in the Rhine-Main region – and it is meant to grow. We're looking for someone who dispatches up front, wins customers and builds a team that works.
Leadership here doesn't mean maintaining spreadsheets in a corner office. It means making people better, understanding the numbers, keeping customers and winning new ones – and picking up the phone yourself when needed.
In return you get real room to shape things: what this site looks like in two years depends to a large extent on you.
What you'll do
You lead the team in Aschaffenburg and are responsible for the site's results.
- Lead and develop your team, professionally and personally
- Onboard and support new colleagues
- Analyse and plan revenue, margin and costs for your area
- Grow existing accounts and build new customer relationships
- Keep an eye on complaints and make sure they get resolved
- Continuously improve quality and processes
- Grow the site together with management – customers, team and processes
In short: you turn this site into one people in the region talk about.
What we're looking for
We don't expect you to tick every box. But you should:
- Have several years of experience in freight forwarding or road transport
- Want to lead people – not just hand out tasks
- Deal with your team, customers and carriers on equal terms
- Be comfortable negotiating and making decisions
- Read the numbers and draw the right conclusions
- Stay calm when things get tight – and then roll up your sleeves
- Hold high standards for service and quality
- Speak and write German confidently
- Have a good working knowledge of English
Leadership experience is an advantage. So are contacts with shippers in the Rhine-Main region.
What you'll get
Anyone building a site needs backing and room to act.
- Real responsibility for team, customers and results
- The chance to help build a growing site
- Direct line to management
- Profit sharing on top of your salary
- Modern, highly digitalised workflows and reports you can steer with
- Professional development and tailored e-learning
- A secure job in an industry that isn't going anywhere
- A straightforward culture – we say what we mean
We don't promise that building something is always easy.
We do promise that you can shape things.
Einstiegsgehalt ab EUR 47.000 brutto pro Jahr. Mehr je nach Erfahrung und Qualifikation, zusätzlich Gewinnbeteiligung.
