- leading MBRs and QBRs, also at senior management level on the customer side;
- managing escalations and structurally improving customer performance.
Your team stands out within DSV by its open, friendly and approachable culture. It is a close-knit team where colleagues support each other whenever needed. We work hard, but there is always room for laughter as well. You are given the freedom and responsibility to shape this role in the way that suits you best.
