How you do this? By developing, managing and optimising a European pallet and parcel network for DSV Contract Logistics customers, you are responsible for creating a future-proof and efficient network that aligns with the dynamics of international supply chains.

At the same time, you actively steer performance and continuous improvement through data-driven insights, KPI monitoring and close collaboration with carriers, internal stakeholders and customers. You initiate optimisations in processes and ways of working, negotiate rates and service levels, and proactively respond to changes in demand and capacity. In doing so, you contribute to a stable, innovative and competitive transport network that directly supports customer satisfaction and operational excellence. You achieve this by:

• monitoring and improving carrier performance based on KPIs, MBRs/QBRs and in-depth analyses;
• aligning with carriers, internal stakeholders and customers on capacity, volumes and contractual agreements, and further expanding the network;
• negotiating rates and service levels and initiating process and cost optimisations within operations;
• managing carrier onboarding and improvement projects, including innovative and sustainable transport solutions.

Your team stands out within DSV through a strong combination of entrepreneurship, international collaboration and a clear focus on quality, efficiency and innovation in transport solutions.
