Do you want to make a difference for your customers and for DSV? As a Key Account Manager, you combine commercial insight with relationship management and work every day on revenue growth, new opportunities, and customer satisfaction within an international organization.

You work closely with operational managers to deliver customer-focused, tailor-made solutions while simultaneously building a strong network, both within DSV and with your customers. You identify commercial opportunities, translate them into proposals, and proactively follow them up to increase both revenue and customer satisfaction. Through the new business team, you will receive new clients in your portfolio and develop them into valuable, long-term relationships.

In addition, you make an important contribution to strategic growth by creating account plans and gathering relevant market information to validate your strategies. You ensure that all account information is correctly and completely recorded in our sales information systems, enabling you to provide the right insights and support decision-making both internally and externally.. You achieve this by:

• proactively identifying and capitalizing on commercial opportunities;
• preparing and following up on account plans, quotations, and quarterly business reviews to realize the commercial strategy;
• collecting and analyzing relevant market information to validate account plans and identify opportunities;
• ensuring accurate and complete reporting of all account information in our sales information systems, so decisions are made based on the correct data.

Your team stands out within DSV by its open and approachable collaboration style, combined with a strong focus on results. It is a close-knit and professional team where colleagues support each other and share knowledge. People work hard, with clear objectives and short communication lines, while at the same time you are given the freedom and trust to shape your role independently and in a way that suits you.
