About NVD
A family-owned business, established in 1980, NVD was set up to assist vehicle manufacturers in the timely and incident-free distribution of their products. We’ve established ourselves as a one-stop shop, providing the three main pillars of outbound logistics: transporting, storing, and enhancing our customers’ vehicles prior to delivery to their end location.
Since 1980, NVD has been at the forefront of pioneering the digitisation of the FVL (First Vehicle Logistics) industry. As early adopters of emerging technology, we have been able to introduce huge efficiencies, saving time and money for our customers. Our unwavering commitment to progress and continual service improvement remains at the heart of our business today.
Role Summary
The Customer Operations Account Manager plays a pivotal role in managing the end-to-end operational process for key customer accounts—from port arrivals and processing orders, through to vehicle deliveries and aftercare.
Based in our Southampton office, you will embed yourself within your accounts to fully understand their needs and ensure seamless service delivery at every stage.
Acting as the mainpoint of contact between clients and internal teams, you will:

Internally, you’ll coordinate across departments to remove blockers, address issues, and drive continuous service enhancements.
