Driving commercial growth within DSV Parcel, with a strong focus on our new product Parcel E‑com: you’re on it.

How you do this? In this role, you are responsible for the entire sales cycle, from cold acquisition and contract negotiations to implementation and relationship management. Depending on your experience, you will work with SME customers (shorter sales cycles) or strategic key accounts (more complex trajectories with longer negotiations). With your commercial insight and knowledge of logistics processes, you translate customer needs into concrete parcel solutions. You work closely with customers and internal stakeholders to achieve the best possible results. You achieve this by:

• actively acquiring new customers within the Benelux;
• analyzing market developments and identifying growth opportunities;
• guiding new customers during the implementation phase;
• maintaining and expanding long-term customer relationships;
• contributing to the sales and growth strategy of DSV Parcel.

Your team stands out within DSV as an ambitious and fast‑growing Parcel team. A relatively young business with short communication lines, lots of energy and a strong drive to grow. Working hard and achieving results go hand in hand with teamwork and enjoyment.

In the Netherlands, we operate from over 40 branches, with more than 5,000 colleagues. Together we rise to the challenge of a rapidly changing environment. We make quick decisions at every level and combine ambition and teamwork. This is how we move forward and make a difference together.

You bring

• proven experience in business development, sales or a similar commercial role within transport or logistics;
• a strong commercial and results‑driven mindset;
• the ability to identify opportunities and turn them into concrete deals;
• excellent communication and negotiation skills;
• a true team‑player who easily collaborates with sales, operations and management.

It all counts for this vacancy of business development manager in Maastricht Airport. Furthermore, it is of course important that you feel at home with us. That will certainly be possible if you like to keep going, have guts and want to grow with DSV.
