We’re looking for a Customer Account Development Director to join our Consumer & Convenience sector, taking ownership of accelerating growth across a portfolio of key accounts: strengthening partnerships, identifying new opportunities, and turning insight into action.

WHAT YOU’LL DO

  • Drive profitable growth across strategic customer accounts by identifying and converting new opportunities
  • Build deep, trusted relationships with senior customer stakeholders and internal teams
  • Shape and execute account development plans aligned to customer ambitions and DHL capabilities

  • Bring energy and momentum to every interaction, internally and externally

  • Proven track record in account development, commercial growth, or business development
  • Strong ability to influence, engage and challenge constructively at senior levels
  • A natural connector and storyteller, able to translate customer needs into impactful solutions
  • Commercial acumen with a focus on value creation, not just activity
  • High levels of drive, ownership, and resilience
  • Experience in logistics, supply chain, FMCG, or retail environments (advantageous)

Why DHL Supply Chain?

  • Be part of a market leader shaping the future of supply chain
  • Work with iconic brands and complex, high-value partnerships
  • Join a team that values energy, collaboration, and ambition
  • Opportunity to make a tangible commercial impact without direct line management responsibility
  • A culture that empowers you to own outcomes and grow your career

  • Curious – always looking for the next opportunity
  • Credible – trusted by customers and colleagues alike
  • Commercially sharp – focused on outcomes and impact
