What will you be doing?​   

As a Service Portfolio Manager, you are a key player in developing and delivering digital service offerings that make a real impact for our customers.

Embedded in our Global Solutions team, you represent one of our core domains—Airports, Warehousing, or Parcel Distribution—and act as the central connection between local market needs and our global service portfolio.

You work closely with sales teams, product managers, operational leads, and customers to define, shape, and evolve services that are both technically sound and commercially viable. Whether it is identifying new service opportunities, refining existing solutions, or launching innovative offerings, your role is all about turning insights into actionable solutions that bring value to both the customer and our business.

Key responsibilities

With a strong commercial mindset and a hands-on approach, you:​

• Lead the service portfolio in your domain—aligning customer needs with technical and commercial feasibility.

• Collaborate across teams (sales, operations, product) to deliver consistent, scalable service solutions.

• Identify new opportunities through customer engagement and market trends.

• Support go-to-market activities, including value propositions, pricing, and packaging.

• Guide Portfolio Management—helping prioritize service development based on impact and demand.

• Drive innovation by sharing best practices across domains.

• Represent the voice of the customer in strategic service decision; focusing on operations and business value.

Who we are looking for?

• 5 – 8+ years of experience in solutions management, service development, or commercial operations.
• Experience in logistics, warehousing, distribution, or a related sector.
• A bachelor’s or master’s degree in business, supply chain, or a commercial discipline.
• Strong commercial instincts with experience developing and rolling out business-focused service offerings.
• The ability to collaborate and influence across teams—especially in a matrixed, international environment.
• An analytical approach to solving customer problems—using operational and business data, not technical specifications.
• Excellent communication and presentation skills, with comfort engaging both customers and internal stakeholders.
